Headaches

Headaches are a common ailment that many people experience at some point in their lives. A headache is defined as pain or discomfort in the head or neck area. There are different types of headaches, with various causes and symptoms. In this article, we will discuss the types of headaches, causes, symptoms, problems associated with headaches, usual treatment options, and why chiropractic care is a good option for headaches.

Types of Headaches

  • Tension Headaches: Tension headaches are the most common type of headache. They typically occur due to muscle tension in the head and/or neck area. Tension headaches usually feel like a tight band around the head and can cause mild to moderate pain.
  • Migraines: Migraines are another common type of headache that affects around 12% of the population. Migraines are often accompanied by sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and vomiting. Migraine headaches are usually pulsating or throbbing in nature.
  • Cluster Headaches: Cluster headaches are the least common type of headache but are also the most severe. They are characterized by intense pain, usually around one eye, and are often accompanied by watering or redness of the eye, runny nose, and facial sweating.

Causes of Headaches

The causes of headaches can vary depending on the type of headache. Tension headaches are usually caused by stress, anxiety, or poor posture. Migraines can be caused by hormonal changes, certain foods, and drinks, bright lights, and loud noises. Cluster headaches are thought to be caused by problems with the hypothalamus, which is responsible for regulating our body’s natural rhythms.

Symptoms of Headaches

Headache symptoms can vary depending on the type of headache. Tension headaches usually feel like a tight band around the head, while migraines are usually accompanied by sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and vomiting. Cluster headaches are usually characterized by intense pain, usually around one eye, and are often accompanied by watering or redness of the eye, runny nose, and facial sweating.

Problems Associated with Headaches

Headaches can be debilitating and can interfere with a person’s daily activities, work, and social life. A mild to moderate headache can just be an annoyance for many people. Severe headaches can cause nausea, vomiting, and dizziness, and can even lead to fainting. Chronic headaches can also lead to depression and anxiety. While Dr. Post doesn’t normally have headaches, if he has one – he knows that he needs to get adjusted.

Usual Headache Treatment Options

The usual treatment options for headaches include over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and aspirin. Prescription medications are also available to treat migraines, cluster headaches or more frequent and severe headaches. In recent years, the medical community has been injecting botulinum toxin (BoNT), also known as Botox, for chronic migraine headaches. This in itself can lead to even worse visual and functional side-effects that you probably would not want to deal with. In addition to medication, relaxation techniques, such as meditation, yoga, and massage, can help alleviate headache symptoms.

Typical Chiropractic Care for Headaches

Chiropractic care is a safe, non-invasive, and effective treatment option for headaches. Chiropractors use manual techniques to adjust the spine and improve spinal alignment, which can alleviate tension in the neck and head area. This can lead to a reduction in headache symptoms, including pain, sensitivity to light and sound, and nausea. Chiropractic care can also increase endorphin release, which can lead to an increase in energy levels and an overall improvement in mood.

Chiropractic care has minimal or no side-effects, making it a safe and effective treatment option for all types of headaches. It is also less expensive than many other treatment options, making it an affordable option for those who suffer from chronic headaches.
