At Regenerate Chiropractic we understand how debilitating migraine's and headaches can be. Headaches are one of the most common reasons for visiting the Chiropractor. More than 300 Million working days worldwide are lost each year due to headaches.
Treatment generally involves safe, specific adjustments in conjunction with other therapies particularly to the neck and upper back to relieve the nerve pressure, the muscle spasm and any inflammation to surrounding tissues. Massage therapy is used in conjunction to the specific adjustments to relax the muscles of the neck.
Pain killing medication that is often used to treat headaches actually treat the symptom rather than the cause. At Regenerate we focus on treating the cause and managing your pain not just for today but also into the future.
Causes:
Headaches and Migraines are quite distinct in their pathophysiology and cause. Ranging from benign to severe it is always important to have any headache checked by a health professional. At Regenerate Chiropractic we ensure that a correct diagnosis is made so we can refer you to the correct practitioner if needed.
Symptoms:
Symptoms that may occur with headache include blurry vision, nausea, vomiting, fever, neck pain, neck stiffness, and increased sensitivity to light or noise. Symptoms that are associated with serious causes of headache include confusion, difficulty walking, difficulty speaking, and excessive sleepiness.
