DRS. ERIK AND BRENDA SLOVIN JOIN FORCES WITH NATIONAL HEADACHE AWARENESS WEEK TO COMBAT GROWING EPIDEMIC OF HEADACHE PAIN

Norwalk, CT, June 4, 2007 - In conjunction with National Headache Awareness Week, June 3-7, 2007, Drs. Erik and Brenda Slovin, D.C., are participating in nationwide efforts to bring headache awareness, education and relief to millions of Americans who suffer daily from the pain of debilitating headaches.

The goals of National Headache Awareness Week are:

• To gain recognition of headache pain as a real and legitimate condition,
• To encourage sufferers to see a health care professional for proper diagnosis and treatment, and
• To let sufferers know that there are new treatments available.

This year's theme, Seven Healthy Habits of Headache Sufferers, gives sufferers practical advice for living a full, healthy life, free from headache pain. This theme validates the fact that headache sufferers can take natural, drug-free steps to enjoy a better quality of life.

Between 70-80% of all Americans experience chronic headache pain at least once per week and a large body of research indicates that poor posture and spinal misalignment may be responsible. Yet, many people fail to recognize the connection between healthy cervical spine alignment and headaches.

The following are a few headache pain symptoms for which chiropractic treatment is not only appropriate, but also highly effective:

• Headache that causes difficulty in thinking or memory
• Sudden first-time onset of severe headaches
• Headache accompanied by sensitivity to light and sound
• Sudden vision problems associated with a headache
• Elevated blood pressure in conjunction with a headache
• Changes in pulse rate or respiration associated with a headache
  

Chiropractic care has a strong track record of incredible success in treating most forms of benign headaches. It has even proven to be very successful in treating and eliminating debilitating migraine pain - without the danger of potentially harmful drugs.

Clinical studies have repeatedly shown that chiropractic treatment of headache pain enjoys consistently spectacular success rates ranging between 72-98%. Unlike many prescription or over-the-counter medications, chiropractic causes no adverse or allergic reactions, no potential drug interaction, and no drug-induced drowsiness
