Press Release Body = Stop Headaches Without Pain Killers Says Dr Robert Scranton

According to the American Chiropractic Association, nine out of ten Americans suffer
from headaches. Dr. Robert Scranton, a local Rock Island, IL chiropractor, is using
chiropractic to successfully stop migraine headaches in hundreds of patients who
previously had little help from traditional medicine.

\"Many of my patients felt like there was no hope for them," says Dr. Scranton.
\"There is a large segment of our population who suffer silently with headache pain
almost every day. They often turn to pain killers to temporarily stop the pain. But
drugs only provide short term relief, it doesn't fix the core problem at hand. We
are using chiropractic to fix the source of the migraines and we are having
excellent results.\"

Is there evidence that chiropractic can stop headache pain? New research shows that
spinal manipulation - the primary form of care provided by doctors of chiropractic -
may be an effective treatment option for tension headaches and headaches that
originate in the neck. A report released in 2001 by researchers at the Duke
University Evidence-Based Practice Center in Durham, NC, found that spinal
manipulation resulted in almost immediate improvement for those headaches that
originate in the neck, and had significantly fewer side effects and longer-lasting
relief of tension-type headache than a commonly prescribed medication.

Dr. Scranton says that in recent years the medical community has embraced
chiropractic because it offers treatment without the use of drugs or surgery. \"In
treating headache pain, most experts agree that conservative care should be tried
before more invasive treatments are considered. That\'s what chiropractic offers. It
has a long history of effectively stopping pain yet doesn\'t require the use of
prescription or over the counter painkillers that can have negative consequences.
Chiropractic is all-natural and frequently is more affordable than other options. We
say why suffer when you don\'t have to? We invite people to come on down and explore
if chiropractic might work for them.\"

Dr. Robert Scranton offers his first visit free of charge to anyone looking into
chiropractic and how it might help them. \"This way they can make an informed
decision, and it doesn\'t cost them anything.\" Dr. Robert Scranton, D.C. is located
