Headache

Headache sufferers find fast, effective, lasting relief without drugs.

If you live in and are suffering from tension, migraine, cluster or cervical headaches, YOU CAN FIND RELIEF!

Ninety-five percent of headaches are primary headaches, such as tension, migraine, or cluster headaches. These types of headaches are not caused by disease but FROM TENSION.

"The greatest majority of primary headaches are associated with muscle tension in the neck," says Dr. George B. McClelland, Chairman of the American Chiropractic Association's (ACA) Board of Governors. "Today, Americans engage in more sedentary activities than they used to, and more hours are spent in one fixed position or posture. This can increase joint irritation and muscle tension in the neck, upper back and scalp, causing your head to ache!

GREAT NEWS!

For many, that relief is only a phone call away.
Seminole Chiropractic Center specializes in the treatment of headache pain regardless of its cause.

Why Choose Chiropractic for Headache Relief?

According to the International Chiropractic Association, the primary focus of chiropractic is the detection, reduction and correction of spinal misalignments and nervous system dysfunction. Doctors of chiropractic attempt to get to the root cause of a health problem, rather than just treat the symptoms. Chiropractic seeks to maximize the natural strengths of the body and its capacity to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery.

About Us

Dr. David J. Jenkins, D.C.

Dr. David Jenkins was born in Austin, Minnesota and raised in DeLand, FL.

Dr. Jenkins chose to be a Chiropractor from personal experience as a chiropractic patient. His journey began in his teens, "Growing up I originally wanted to become a dentist to follow in my Dad's footsteps and take over his office. But growing up as a beach lifeguard and longtime Surfer I began noticing some back pain from running on the beach. My Dad informed me that I should visit his friend that was a local Chiropractor in DeLand for help. I started receiving Chiropractic Adjustments and began noticing great relief with the back pain and found out how effective Chiropractic Care was so at that point I began the journey to become a Chiropractor."

Dr. Jenkins moved to Missouri to attend Logan College of Chiropractic in Chesterfield, MO. After graduating in 2003, he moved back to Florida to be near his family and friends and to take his Chiropractic boards.

Another pivotal step in Dr. Jenkins' journey happened just before taking the boards, he explains, "my Dad who was 52 and very healthy had a sudden stroke, became paralyzed, and had to retire from Dentistry. After his initial hospital experience, he began rehabilitation with physical therapy and Acupuncture treatment. It was at that time I found the true value of Acupuncture. After experiencing my Dad's recovery I was very interested in gaining more knowledge, training, and experience to become certified in Acupuncture. In 2005, I graduated from the International Academy of Medical Acupuncture in Carefree, Arizona, and began my journey in helping patients heal thru Acupuncture, Chiropractic, and Rehabilitation."

After practicing several years in Orlando, Dr. Jenkins had the opportunity to join in the practice of an Orlando Orthopedic Surgeon. He gained over 5 years experience there while running 2 offices helping patients recover from injuries related to Auto Accidents, Sports Injuries, Acute trauma, and general neck and back pain.

Dr. Jenkins also has post Graduate training and over 8 years experience practicing Acupuncture helping patients with Allergy Elimination, Smoking Cessation, Weight Reduction, pain management, headaches, neck and back pain relief, and pain relief in the hands and feet.

Dr. Jenkins has many years of experience treating patients with Spinal Disc injuries using spinal decompression and spinal traction, spinal rehabilitation, core strengthening rehabilitation, Acupuncture, Chiropractic Adjustments, and "MUA" Manipulation Under Anesthesia.

Dr. Jenkins has advanced experience in rehabilitation with patients following surgery, fracture rehabilitation, severe neck and back injuries including cervical and lumbar disc herniations, and advanced experience including full rehabilitation on patients with sports and Auto Accident injuries. Dr. Jenkins is also well trained in several of the latest techniques in Auto Injury rehabilitation, Chiropractic, Rehabilitation, Spinal Decompression, and Acupuncture.

Dr. Jenkins has graduated from several post graduate programs including studying at the prestigious SRISD (Spine Research Institute of San Diego) in Whiplash and Brain Traumatology headed by Dr. Arthur Croft one of the most well known researchers on Auto Accident related Injuries. Here Dr. Jenkins acquired a wealth of knowledge on Auto Injuries, Accident Reconstruction, Treatment for Auto Accident related injuries, Biomechanics, and Medicolegal forensics.

Today Dr. Jenkins has over 15 years Chiropractic experience helping others and has owned and been at Seminole Chiropractic Center for over 6 years.

Seminole Chiropractic Center's approach to patient care is putting the patient first by listening to the patient’s needs to find out how to serve them best and then custom tailor and treatment plan to serve the patient best for efficient, fast relief so that the patient may return to their busy active lifestyle that they once enjoyed.

Causes Of Headache

There are two types of headaches:

Primary Headaches include tension, migraine, cervicogenic, and cluster headaches and are not caused by other underlying medical conditions. More than 90% of headaches are primary.

Secondary Headaches result from other medical conditions, such as infection or increased pressure in the skull due to a tumor. These account for fewer than 10% of all headaches.

Descriptions of the Primary Headache Types:

1. Tension Headaches: are the most common, affecting more than 75% of all headache sufferers. As many as 90% of adults have had tension headaches.

Tension headaches usually involve a steady ache, rather than a throbbing one, are described as a feeling of pressure or tightening, may last minutes to days, affect both sides of the head, and and do not worsen with routine physical activity. It may also be accompanied by hypersensitivity to light and noise. Some people get tension (and migraine) headaches because of stressful events. Tension headaches may also be chronic, occurring frequently or daily.

Rebound Headache: Rebound headache may occur among people with tension headaches, as well as in those with migraines. It can be the result of taking prescription or nonprescription pain relievers daily or almost every day, contrary to directions on the package label. If prescription or nonprescription pain relievers are overused, headaches may 'rebound' as the last dose wears off--leading you to take more and more pills. This is a great reason to call your chiropractor. Break that cycle!

2. Cervicogenic Headaches:

Cervicogenic Headaches come from disorders of the neck. They are often brought on by neck movement and/or sustained awkward head positioning (such as painting the ceiling or washing the floor). There may also be stiffness in the neck or shoulder and arm pain accompanying the headaches.

3. Migraine Headaches:

Migraine Headaches are less common than tension headaches, but still afflict 25 to 30 million people in the United States As many as 6% of all men, and up to 18% of all women experience a migraine headache at some time.

Migraines may last 4-72 hours and involve the entire head. They can cause throbbing and are aggravated by routine physical activity.

Nausea, sensitivity to light and sound often accompany migraines. An "aura" may occur before head pain begins-- involving a disturbance in vision, and/or an experience of brightly colored or blinking lights in a pattern that moves across the field of vision. About one in five migraine sufferers experiences an aura.

Usually, migraine attacks are occasional, or sometimes as often as once or twice a week, but rarely occur daily.

4. Cluster Headaches:

are pretty rare, affecting about 1% of the population. They are different from migraine and tension headaches. Most cluster headache sufferers are male -- about 85%.

Cluster headaches come in groups or clusters lasting weeks or month. The pain is extremely severe but the attack is brief, lasting no more than a hour or two. The pain centers around one eye, and this eye may be inflamed and watery. There may also be nasal congestion on the affected side of the face.

These "alarm clock" headaches may strike in the middle of the night, and often occur at about the same time each day during the course of a cluster. A history of heavy smoking and drinking is common, and alcohol often triggers attacks.

When I started my visits with DR. Jenkins three weeks ago I was feeling so much discomfort and I knew if I would see my regular doctor he would put me on pills to kill the pain and that's not what I wanted, or be sent to different specialist. This was the right move for me and I'm feeling so much better. I will continue to see him on a regular basis and keep my follow up maintenance. Thank you DR.Jenkins for your care.

Treatment Options

Chiropractors offer a drug-free, hands-on approach to healthcare that gets you feeling better quickly , safely, and effectively.

How Is a Headache Evaluated?

Early diagnosis and treatment are important in identifying the underlying cause for your headaches. In most cases, an in-depth history and physical examination will help determine this.

Once the cause has been identified, we will develop a specific management plan to help eliminate your pain based on your individual needs.

What Is the Treatment for Headaches?

Chiropractors treat patients with tension-type headaches and as well as headaches caused by problems with the joints and muscles in the neck.

Adjustments of the neck, along with stretching and strengthening exercises, have been demonstrated to be effective in the treatment of headaches. Massage and other forms of soft-tissue treatment can sometimes be helpful.

Scientists are also investigating other therapies, such as acupuncture, to prevent and treat this disorder.

Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, may be used for an occasional headache, but long-term use can lead to health complications such as gastrointestinal difficulties, liver problems, and kidney failure.
