Tired of treating the symptom not the cause? A common reason for visiting a chiropractor is for headaches. "The phenomenon of Drug rebound headaches has been described as an unrecognised epidemic," said family practitioner and researcher Morris Maizels, M.D. with the Southern California Permanente Medical Group. According to the literature, 78% patients who suffered from chronic daily headaches, experienced a marked lessening of symptoms just by stopping the daily use of pain medication (Maizels & Burchette, 2003)1. Proper diagnosis is essential to find the solution to your headaches, and your Chiropractor is trained to get to the root cause of the problem and provide a solution (AECC, 2003)2. Your case will either be treatable, or you may be referred to another specialist, or your GP.

Poor posture can lead to tension headaches, and your chiropractor will most likely find upper cervical and upper back muscle tension and limited joint movements (Moore, 2004)3. These are referred to as Cervicogenic headaches and can be resolved with a combination of specific chiropractic adjustments (manipulation) and muscle releases, followed by a simple exercise program to prevent the tension from returning (Jull, et al, 2004)4. Other common causes of headache include hormonal, eyestrain, sinusitis, and dehydration, to more serious conditions. Pain killers mask the symptoms and don’t deal with the cause. There are several other types headaches such as cluster headaches, and referred pain from the jaw.

Tension-type headaches are very common, and effect both sides of the forehead and temple region like tight band. Although these are not life threatening, they can be very debilitating. If this is something you would like help with, we can help you, using a combination of chiropractic, acupuncture (Melchart, et al, 2005)5, and by helping you resolve the underlying cause.

Migraines

 

Migraine is a chronic condition typically presenting with an intense headache on one side of the head, and often described as a throbbing or pounding pain, either around the temple, forehead, back of the head or eye, and often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, facial pallor cold hands or feet, and sensitivity to light (Photo-phobia), and can last for days. If it always occurs on the same side each time there is an attack, tell your chiropractor as this may be a more serious secondary type of headache. Migraines are associated with an increase in venous blood flow to the brain, and dural tension (dura: outer membrane to brain & spinal cord), and the small deep set muscles of the upper neck with skull. Migraines are often triggered by certain food stuffs including caffeine withdrawal, and fermented foods. Along with manipulation your chiropractor may offer acupuncture for migraine headaches (Linde, et al, 2005)6, and often long lasting favourable results can be especially if you are regularly well hydrated and follow a number of other protocols recommended on an individual basis.
