SAN DIEGO, May 22, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dr. Kien Ta's San Diego chiropractic office, CK Chiropractic Center, uses spinal realignment techniques to relieve headaches and neck pain. While many medical practices use medications that only cover up the symptoms, Dr. Ta and his colleagues provide a lasting long-term treatment that addresses the root of trauma-induced headaches: the central nervous system.
The chiropractors of CK Chiropractic Center are providing an alternative solution to patients who are suffering from chronic headaches. Typically, doctors alleviate trauma-related neck pain or headaches using over-the-counter or prescription pain medications. The chiropractors recognize this treatment does help patients to manage their pain, but believe they ultimately serve only to mask the symptoms, not to heal the underlying cause.
Dr. Kien Ta believes that accident victims should receive a more effective long-term treatment, one that cures the cause of the headaches rather than just covering up the pain. "Pain is just a signal that something is wrong," explains the San Diego chiropractor. "We like to fix the problem to improve pain management and also, to prevent the headaches from continuing to occur." CK Chiropractic Center offers personal injury victims a solution that addresses the root of the problem.
People who suffer whiplash or other personal injury from an auto accident often have residual effects, such as headaches, neck pain and back pain, that may continue long after the original trauma. In some cases the pain does not even fully surface until several days or weeks after the accident as the body readjusts itself to deal with the new stresses it has experienced. These shifts and pressures along the spinal column can cause neck pain and headaches.
Dr. Ta's chiropractic team uses a combination of massage therapy, acupuncture and spinal realignment techniques to treat chronic headaches by easing harmful pressures against patients' spinal columns. A sudden trauma can throw off the body's natural balance, leading to unnatural stresses that cause headaches and neck pain. Dr. Ta's team works to undo these damaging imbalances and restore the natural function of the body. Many patients feel an immediate improvement following their very first adjustment, but the real healing, says Dr. Ta, takes place over time. "Our bodies need time to readjust after a major trauma," he explains. "Our proven chiropractic treatments train the body to be healthy again."
Dr. Ta is an experienced chiropractor and worker's compensation expert who has personally treated over 10,000 personal injury patients and is a state-licensed Qualified Medical Evaluator. Dr. Ta's team is gaining ground as they work to educate the community about the benefits of chiropractic treatments for headaches and bodily traumas.
