Assistance with Headaches and Migraines
Headaches & Migraines
Tension-type headaches commonly present as band-like tension around the head, whereas migraine headaches usually result in pain on one side of the head and are commonly accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light and sound.
There are many different causes of headaches and migraine triggers. If the cause is structural, and stems from the neck nerves or muscles, chiropractic treatment can alleviate the problem. If the cause is otherwise, patients are referred to their GP for further investigation.
How can Pennant Hills Chiropractic help with your headaches and migraines ?
Chiropractors can assess, diagnose, and manage headaches. Current evidence suggests that chiropractic care, including manual therapy, can be effective in treating cervicogenic and tension headaches. Studies have also shown that chiropractic care can help decrease the intensity and frequency of migraines.
Signs and symptoms of a tension headache include:
Dull, aching head pain
Sensation of tightness or pressure across your forehead or on the sides and back of your head
Tenderness on your scalp, neck and shoulder muscles
Signs and symptoms of a migraine include:
Severe throbbing pain or a pulsing sensation, usually on one side of the head. Can be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound.
Migraine attacks can last for hours to days, and the pain can be so severe that it interferes with your daily activities.
