A headache or migraine is an extremely common condition that causes pain and discomfort in the head or neck region. Headaches and migraines can be occasional or frequent, occurring as often as once or twice a day. Not every headache or migraine you experience will be the same, as they tend to range in pain tolerance and symptoms.
Studies show that spinal manipulation done by a chiropractor is effective in treating headaches/migraines and tension that derive from the head or neck area.
Causes/Triggers
Headaches and migraines can be caused or triggered by a number of different things. These include but are not limited to:
- Foods
- Fasting, dehydration or skipping meals
- Your environment (noises, lights, odor, stress)
- Insomnia
- Over exercising
- Blood sugar changes
- Trauma (car accidents, work injuries, etc.)
- Other sicknesses (flu, head cold, etc.)
Symptoms
Headache/migraine symptoms can be mild to severe and include:
- Throbbing/pounding sensation that can affect the entire head or move from one side to the other
- Light, noise, and odor sensitivity
- Vision changes
- Loss of appetite
- Paleness
- Exhaustion
- Dizziness
- Nausea
Treatment
