Headaches & Migraines

As you may already know, headaches have many causes, or "triggers." These may include foods, environmental stimuli (noises, lights, stress, etc.) and/or behaviors (insomnia, excessive exercise, blood sugar changes, etc.). About 5 percent of all headaches are warning signals caused by physical problems which can originate from the spine.

Ninety-five percent of headaches are primary headaches, such as tension, migraine, or cluster headaches. These types of headaches are not caused by disease. The headache itself is the primary concern.

Severe Headache Treatment

There are certain things you can try to remedy a headache or migraine. Some of which include: drinking plenty of water througout the day, avoid clinching your teeth at night by using a night guard, low impact exercises to relieve stress and take plenty of breaks if you sit in one position for extended periods of time, at work for example.
