Tension headaches: We’d all agree that life can be a pain, now and then, and end up as a tension headache. Most individuals have suffered from more than one. If you’ve had a tension headache, then you likely experience it as a dull, aching head pain that is frequently accompanied by a sensation of tightness or pressure across your forehead or on the sides and back of your head. Sometimes, you might feel a tenderness of your scalp, neck and shoulder muscles, and at times you may lose your appetite.
Tension headaches are generally described as mild to moderately intense. The severity of the pain varies from one headache to another in the same person, as well as from one individual to another Tension headaches can happen infrequently or you may have them quite frequently. If your headaches happen fifteen or more days a month for at least three months, they’re diagnosed as chronic. If tension headaches are interrupting your life, chiropractic treatment may be the remedy. Contact your chiropractor today.
Migraine Headaches: Migraine headaches differ from the typical tension-related headache. Firstly, migraines more often than not take place on one side of the head only, according to the National Headache Foundation. The throbbing or pulsating pain is accompanied by nausea or vomiting. Auras, visual symptoms an hour before a migraine attack, and disturbances such as pulsating light, lines or dots, are experienced by one-fifth of migraine sufferers.
