Knee pain is a common issue for people in our Gresham chiropractic practice, and Dr. Ramsey has happily provided many of these people relief. This is mostly because chiropractic care has been found to help with many types of knee pain . For example, some people experience pain in and around the knee area due to degenerative arthritis.

One of the most frequent kinds of headaches that our patients are afflicted with is cervicogenic headache which, thankfully, chiropractic can usually help. What is Cervicogenic Headaches? A cervicogenic headache is one that comes from a problem in the cervical spine. It could be as a result of an issue with either the spine itself (particularly, the vertebrae, joints, or discs), or it may be attributable to a problem in the muscles and tendons of your neck. This dysfunction in your spine brings about compaction or irritation of the spinal nerves, which can bring on headache pain.
