    things. Believe it or not, the commonly used headache medications can intensify the headaches!!

    cause headaches.

nervous system. Over time, headaches can alter the proper position of your spine especially in the neck and mid back region, therefore, causing a series of “misalignments” or “subluxations”. If this situation goes untreated, it could lead to irreversible degeneration.
