What Is a Headache or Migraine?
There are different levels of pain you can experience in the head and neck area. If you have extreme stress or anxiety, you may experience tension headaches, which often occur around the temples or back of the neck. Cluster headaches happen in cycles where the headaches appear one after another followed by headache-free periods. Some people may have cluster headaches around the eye or on only one side of the head.
Sinus headaches occur in relation to sinusitis flare-ups. Sinus infections often occur due to triggers, particularly at different times of the year when pollen and other triggers may be high. As your nasal cavity becomes stuffed with fluid congestion, it creates pressure in the head and face.
Some headaches are severe enough to be classified as a migraine. Migraines may also have other symptoms such as nausea, pulsating pain on one side of the head, vomiting, and high sensitivity to light and sound. A migraine headache usually has a neurological cause linked to hormonal changes, food, stress, and other environmental factors. Getting a consultation with Dr. Madigan in Lock Haven, PA, can get to the root of the head, neck, and immunity issues causing these problems.
How Can Dr. Madigan’s Chiropractic Care Help?
Did you know that a lot of headaches are caused by problems in the neck? They can originate due to vertebrae misalignment or muscle tension in the area. With proper chiropractic care, you can achieve proper cervical vertebrae alignment and move bulging discs back into place. If your neck has muscle tension due to scar tissue from whiplash or other injuries, a chiropractor can use chiropractic massage or Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization to release that tissue.
