Headaches and Neck Pain? You See This Every Day

Jeff Langmaid (YouTube) discusses how headaches and neck pain are extremely common and frequent reasons patients first visit chiropractors. He states the top three reasons for first-time chiropractic visits are, in order: low back pain, neck pain, and headaches. He cites prevalence figures: about two thirds of people will experience headaches in their lifetime, and up to one third have headaches at any given moment (point prevalence) — illustrated as up to 3 out of 10 people having had a headache in the last 24 hours. Langmaid emphasizes that the combination of neck pain and headaches is something chiropractors likely see daily and reminds practitioners to consider community members who aren’t seeking care.
