According to a report published by Wrong Diagnosis in the latter half of 2010, over 16% of Americans get headaches annually. In general numbers, this figure crosses a whopping 45 million and several of these people get headaches on a daily basis. Quite clearly, headaches are one of the most common problems that most of the people from all over the world suffer.

For instance, carcinogenic headache is a common type of headache which is often misunderstood by people in terms of its diagnosis. This pain is associated with the skeletal structure of head or the neck muscles. Also, it has a relationship with Migraine headache as well. To support this fact, Bondi conducted a study which indicated that 64% of the migraine patients also had neck pain along with their migraine. If you notice that intensity or pattern of the pain increases or decreases with the motion or change of position of your head, it's a clear indication of carcinogenic headache. At the same time, the chiropractic treatment has been found more cost-effective as compared to the traditional medication.

Chiropractic care has been found quite effective in reducing pain caused by carcinogenic headaches, according to several studies. As per the study by Haas, Spaceman, Peterson, Anticking, and Varese last year, chiropractic care has been proven effective for nearly 50% people who suffered from carcinogenic headaches.
