Are You Suffering From Headaches or Migraines?
Headaches, according to WebMD, are defined as general pain in the area of the head. The term can cover several different types of headaches with ranging severity. Migraines are an extreme type of headache that hurt severely and come with other neurological symptoms as well. If you are experiencing general pain in the area of the head with no other symptoms you are likely suffering from headaches. Migraine symptoms differ starting with the pain level which can reach unbearable levels, other differences include vision disturbances, auditory hallucinations, problems speaking or finding the right words, nausea, and a key factor is location. The location of migraine pain is typically on one side of the face and head only. The pain can be on one side of the jaw, under one eye, radiating down the back of the head and even into the neck.
Causes of Chronic Headaches and Migraines
The cause of many headaches come from stress, dietary choices, and dehydration. Migraine triggers come from the same things that cause a headache, however, there are additional causes such as allergies, bright lights, lack of sleep, and even certain foods like chocolate, aged cheese, and a wine can trigger a migraine. The treatment plan depends partly on the cause for example rehydration with an electrolyte drink helps some who are suffering from a headache or a migraine caused by dehydration, but often when it comes to migraines medication is required to reduce the pain.
However, there is hope outside of strong medications for headache sufferers. Chiropractic care, spinal manipulation in particular, for headaches and migraines have been proven effective especially if the trigger for a migraine or a headache comes from a physical source. If you are looking for an effective way to reduce your chronic head pain, visit a chiropractor for treatment without the side effects of medication.
