Have you ever been greeted with a pounding headache after a long day at work? Stress from the day may not be the only thing to blame.
"Everybody is at a computer. Everybody's head is forward. So, you are at work, your head is forward. You get in the car, your head is forward. You sit at the TV and eat your dinner, your head is forward," said chiropractor Dr. Steven Rubosky.
Dr. Rubosky, who just opened his own practice in Canfield, says he is treating more and more patients, who complain of tightness and tension. He says most of those complaints are due to forward head posture.
"The holes in your ears should be directly over your shoulders. For every inch forward is about an extra 10 pounds of pressure on your neck. So, I have people coming in and out of this office with 30 to 40 pounds of pressure in excess," said Dr. Rubosky.
There aren't many studies on how chiropractic treatment can manage migraines. However, one shows 22 percent of people, who received chiropractic treatment, saw the number of migraines drop 90 percent.
"I do a lot of connective tissue work, a lot of muscle work and we also do something called post isometric relaxation," said Dr. Rubosky. "We trick the muscles into relaxing and it's not just the adjustment when you leave. We have tons of modalities that help aid different types of migraines."
