HEADACHES & MIGRAINES |
|
Headaches are very common, and there are many different types and causes; people often suffer from more than one type. If you suffer stress, through worry, overwork or anxiety, a headache, arising from muscle tension in your neck and shoulders, may often be the result. Even more debilitating is migraine- severe headache, which can last for several days, and may also be accompanied by dizziness, nausea, irritability, and vision disturbances. Some forms of migraine appear to stem from irritation of the nerves close to the vertebrae of the neck or may, again, be triggered by muscle tension. Other causes of headache include sinus, dehydration, allergies and visual strain for which your optician may prescribe spectacles. Your chiropractor is trained to diagnose the cause of your headache, and treat you accordingly, or refer you elsewhere if appropriate. Treatment involves specific adjustments, particularly to the neck and upper thorax , and soft tissue massage. This may also reduce the frequency or severity of some forms of migraine and allows the body to return to normal function and bring lasting relief. You may also be given an appropriate rehabilitation and maintenance plan to prevent a recurrence of the problem. |
