All You Want To Know About Headaches

6/9/2017

0 Comments

 
Headaches are when pain occurs in any region of the head. It can affect one or both sides of the head, can occur in a particular region, and can radiate across the head from one point as well.
The pain might be classified as being sharp, throbbing in nature or a dull lingering ache. Lasting for an hour or at times many days, a headache can develop gradually or suddenly.
Commonly, migraines are confused with headaches and vice versa. Migraine is a type of headache which is characterised by sharp, localised pain of the head accompanied with other symptoms like nausea, sleep disruption, over-sensitivity to stimuli etc. It’s important to note all migraines are headaches but not all headaches are migraines.

What Causes a Headache?

There are two types of headaches. Primary headaches are caused due to excessive activity of the pain-sensitive parts in the head. Examples include cluster headaches, migraine, tension headaches etc. A secondary headache on the other hand, is a symptom of a disease that activate the pain-sensitive nerves in the head. For example, acute sinusitis, blood clots, brain tumour, concussion etc. can cause a secondary headache.

When to Seek Treatment for Headaches

Headaches are usually managed by people with OTC pain relief medications like Panadol, Ibuprofen, Codeine etc. once the headache has already started.

If you are somebody who uses pain relief medication 2-3 times per week or 10 days per month, the pain relief medication can stop helping with the pain, and can actually cause headaches. These repetative headaches are known as 'Medication Overuse Headaches (MOH)'. In these cases it could be especially helpful to seek an alternative method of reducing your headaches.

Bowen Therapy has proven to be very successful in treating many different types of headaches with clients at my clinic. Tension often builds up around the neck, head and jaw, causing the pain. Sometimes there can also be misalignments elsewhere in the body that can be contributing to reoccuring headaches.

    Whilst I believe it's excellent to be involved with your own health, it's important to know only medical doctors can perform a medical diagnosis.
