Do you suffer from Headaches or Migraines?

Headaches are a very common complaint.   Almost everyone suffers from them at some point in their life.  Some headaches are short-lived times of discomfort, or they can be far more debilitating and long term pain.

Headaches and jaw pain occur for many reasons

  • Tension from muscles in neck, head, and upper back
  • Neck joint dysfunction
  • Poor posture
  • Dentist work
  • Stress
  • Eye strain
  • Sinus congestion
  • Dehydration
  • Jaw misalignment
  • Migraines from changes in blood flow and hormones
  • Trauma (e.g., from a fall, whiplash, or sporting injury)

Migraine Headaches

Migraines are a bit trickier than headaches, and prevention largely lies in avoiding the triggers. The improvements in muscle balance, posture and circulation resulting from treatment can often reduce the frequency or intensity of migraines, and minimise their disruption to your life and/or the amount of medication you need. Common triggers you should try to avoid:

  • Stress
  • Lack of sleep or jet lag
  • Hunger or dehydration
  • Foods
  • Additives
  • Alcohol
  • Caffeine
  • Medication overuse
  • Smells
  • Lights and sounds
  • Weather
  • Female hormones
  • Physical activity
