As a leading chiropractor in the Greater New York City metro area, Dr. Lichy helps men and women overcome the pain of chronic and acute headaches using advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment at his office on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
Headaches are among the most common medical complaints today, affecting millions of people of nearly all ages. They can be triggered by an array of medical and lifestyle issues, including:
tension in the back or neck muscles
chronic stress
injury or trauma
bright lights and loud noises
insomnia
fatigue
eye strain
reactions to medications
sedentary lifestyle
changes in blood sugar
high blood pressure
underlying diseases and medical conditions
spine problems, especially those affecting the cervical spine
Chiropractic helps you tap into your body's natural healing processes to stimulate natural healing. In headache treatment, chiropractic adjustments can help relieve the pressures in the neck and back that can cause tension to build up resulting in headaches. In addition to adjustments, Dr. Lichy can offer lifestyle and nutritional guidance aimed at addressing specific underlying causes, as well as providing advice on proper posture and ergonomics at work and at home. He'll also help you develop a plan of stretching and exercises to avoid headaches in the future by relieving ongoing pressure and stress in your neck and back.
The best way to prevent headaches is to begin with a complete evaluation to determine the causes. Once you understand your triggers, you can take steps like exercising, improving diet or posture, or using a pillow or mattress that offer more support to your neck muscles. In addition to being evaluated by Dr. Lichy, another way to understand your headache triggers is to use a headache diary to record when you experience headaches and what you were doing in the moments or hours prior to your symptoms developing.
