"orthopedic surgeons and neurologists studied 100 headache prone children. They tested children because so many adult patients traced their chronic headaches back to childhood and because children wrestle with each other, fall off bicycles or sleds or get inured in sports. Pain and stiffness in the neck disappear in a day or two and the injury is forgotten. But that slight injury can be -permanent, and flower periodically into headaches.
By stretching and putting the neck into traction using a 4-7 lbs. weights, 97% of the children improved after a 20 year follow up."
Does this sound like new exciting recent research to you? It was completed and released to the public in 1970! After nearly 50 years, we are no closer to accepting that most headaches start from neck problems! It need not be treated by aspirin, pills, injections, prescriptions or surgery. When will we learn? Or will we? I'm not sure any longer...
