Help with Headaches
from Potton October 2020
by Villager Mag
If you’re one of the 47% of the global population who experiences regular headaches, you’ll know they’re no laughing matter. The trouble is that successfully diagnosing a headache gets complicated, because more than 130 distinct disorders have been identified along with over 300 triggers! You can also simultaneously suffer multiple types of headache at the same time - where one may cause another. For example, a painful neck can cause an increase in surrounding muscle spasm, which will increase your blood pressure. In this scenario, you could have a cervicogenic (neck) headache, with a tension headache and a resultant migraine! The most common headaches are: Tension headache 75% • Cervicogenic (from the neck) headache 18% • Migraines and sinus headaches 7% There is some good news because tension-type and cervicogenic headaches (which originate from musculoskeletal issues in and around the neck) can be significantly improved and even cured by hands-on therapy, both in the short and long term. Massage, targeted facilitated stretching, acupuncture or manipulations can be hugely beneficial in eliminating headaches; or at least reducing intensity and duration and helping people cope better by reducing any associated stress and anxiety. Corrective exercises to strengthen prescribed by an appropriately qualified Practitioner can correct muscle imbalances leading to a longer-term fix of the issue.
