WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HEADACHES?
Some people may mistakenly believe that all headaches are the same. In fact, there are many distinct types of headaches with unique causes, symptoms, and treatments. From mild to moderate and severe headaches, skip pain medications and opt for chiropractic care to prevent migraines and headaches.
Headaches can be divided into two major types: primary headaches and secondary headaches. Primary headaches occur when the primary issue at hand is the headache itself. These are commonly caused by issues with your nervous system, blood vessels, or muscles.
Secondary headaches, on the other hand, are symptoms of an underlying health condition. These tend to be more rare and generally subside when the underlying condition is effectively treated. Secondary headaches are often caused by neck or brain injuries or health conditions such as an aneurysm. Either way, chiropractic treatment can help.
THESE ARE THE TYPES OF PRIMARY HEADACHES:
Tension Headaches
these headaches feel like a dull, aching sensation on the top and sides of the head. These are common and often triggered by stress.
Cluster Headaches
These occur as a cluster, which can last between a matter of minutes or hours. As one headache subsides, another pops up. These headaches are characterized by a burning, piercing pain.
Migraine Headaches
Migraines can last for days and significantly impact your ability to function. They feel like a deep pulsing coming from within your head. In severe cases, nausea and vomiting may also occur.
THESE ARE THE TYPES OF PRIMARY HEADACHES:
Hormone Headaches:
Women may experience headaches related to hormonal fluctuations caused by menstruation, pregnancy, or birth control pills.
Caffeine Headaches:
We all love that cup of coffee in the morning, but too much caffeine can cause headaches. Caffeine affects the flow of blood going to your brain, which can then trigger a headache.
Allergy/Sinus Headaches:
Seasonal allergies can affect your sinuses and even causes headaches. These headaches tend to cause pain in the sinus area and the front of your head.
Exertion Headaches:
Intense periods of physical activity, such as weight lifting or running, can lead to headaches caused by exertion. These intense activities cause more blood to rush to your head, which increases pressure.
Hypertension Headaches
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, can cause headaches. This type of headache is felt on both sides of the head and often feels like a pulsing sensation.
Rebound Headaches
These headaches are caused by the overuse of certain types of medication, such as OTC pain relievers, and feel like a dull head pain.
HOW DO CHIROPRACTORS TREAT HEADACHES?
As studied by the American Chiropractic Association, chiropractic care—specifically spinal manipulations—can be an effective form of treatment for headaches and migraines. When a chiropractor adjusts the alignment of your spine, this alleviates stress on the nervous system and improves the overall function of your spine. Chiropractic adjustments can also relieve acute and chronic neck pain, which may also help provide headache relief.
