6 Reasons to Choose Natural Headache Cures Over Medications for Migraines
Headache sufferers can live their lives in frequent misery. While there are many natural cures for headaches that can help in the long run, tools for immediate relief of headaches are a strong need.
Far too many headache sufferers turn to medications to cure their headaches, but in no situation does the medication actually fix what is causing the headache in the first place. Many drugs use to treat headaches merely stop one brain cell from communicating with its neighbor, but do not make the original, problematic brain cell any healthier.
One very common medication used to treat headaches (most often migraine type headaches, although it is not uncommon for a prescription to be written for a tension-type headache as well) is amitriptyline, the most common prescription being Elavil. This class of drugs blocks both the serotonin and norepinephrine uptake in the brain (SNRI). As noted, this pathway has little to do with what actually causes the headaches in the first place, but can stop to progression of the signal from one brain cell to the next.
While there are many natural approaches for headache sufferers to use that can have strong effects on symptom, frequency and duration of the headaches, controlling stress remains one of the most powerful tools.
Acute stress is actually very good for the brain. If you think about it, this makes a lot of sense. If we had a Saber tooth tiger jump out of the underbrush looking to attack us, the last thing we want is for our brain to get all fuzzy and kick off a headache. Instead, acute stress snaps our brain and the way our neurons are firing into attention. Otherwise, as a species, we wouldn't be here on this planet.
Chronic stress, on the other hand, has a very detrimental role in brain function. Much of it is focused around the hormone cortisol and one of the derivatives of cortisol called tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone (THDOC). In acute situations this compound has a strongly anti-seizure, anti-migraine effect. However, in the long term with chronic stress, the same compound becomes very pro-seizure and pro-migraine. So, stress is a major trigger of both headaches and seizures. This is most likely due to this particular hormone.
So, it all boils back down to needing to manage our stress with a variety of different tools to keep stress levels under control. Ideally, any stress we experience should be the short term brain protective stress rather than the long term chronic brain damaging stress.
There's a lot of ways to calm the brain and keep one neuron from inappropriately firing to its unsuspecting neighbor and creating a migraine or a seizure.
One very powerful method to calm the brain that has been around for several thousand years is meditation. It can be as complex as a meditation course or can be as simple as a relaxation CD that you'd buy used at a bookstore for $5. The choice of methods is up to the individual.
A recent study compared the effectiveness of using amitriptyline vs hypnotic relaxation that was done in the neurologist's office. The results were very encouraging:
1) Over half (58%) chose hypnotic relaxation over the drug approach
2) The patients who used higher levels of analgesics were more likely to choose amitriptyline
3) When given a choice to later switch groups, over 5X the number of patients chose to switch over to hypnosis vs drugs
4) 74% of patients in hypnotic relaxation group had a good response (50% or greater improvement)
5) Only 58% of patients in the amitriptyline group had the same response
6) Long term adherence with hypnotic relaxation was greater than the drug
Meditation has been shown to actually calm the brain. These are based on EEG studies where we see less brain activity during meditation. Realize that there's no other time that the brain truly quiets down. Even in sleep the brain is very active. It's only during meditation that we start to see brain waves and brain activity slow down. So, meditation is wonderful for affecting that in a positive way.
Other ways are biofeedback. There is actually a device called the RESPeRATE that's FDA approved to lower blood pressure and is basically a biofeedback device for breathing. The device is used by putting on headphones and listening to the tones that indicate when to breathe in and when to breathe out. During this time period, you find that your focus is entirely on your breathing. Once that happens, you're not focusing on anything else, which is essentially a form of meditation that allows the brain to quiet down. In our office we've had people who are in the middle of an anxiety attack use the RESPeRATE. In 15 minutes they are a completely relaxed person.
There are other devices similar to the RESPeRATE. One uses visual stimuli where you focus on certain designs with specific music playing in the background, and you find that the focus becomes so intense on what you are hearing and seeing that it gives the brain a chance to rest and not think about everything else that contributes to your stress levels.
We live in a society that stresses us out beyond anything that any society has ever come across before. It's work, it's home - these stressors don't ever seem to go away. Our body deals well with acute stress, but it's the chronic stress that really starts to break down our brain.
These tools and others can help to calm your brain, but you also need to take a good look at your life and what is stressing you and do whatever it takes to start to remove the stresses or learn to not let them go. Quite frankly, whatever you're stressing about today, and probably the next 10 things you're going to stress about tomorrow, really aren't going to matter. They're going to happen whether or not you stress about them. However, we seem to stress more about the things that are most out of our control. Does this not seem ridiculous? If they're out of our control, what's the point of stressing over them? And, there is no doubt that your stress levels are destroying your brain slowly, piece by agonizing piece.

Another Supplement Tied to 20% Less Seizures?
In those who suffer from migraine headaches and seizures, anything that can help to reduce the number of attacks they have is a welcome addition. Clearly lifestyle and supplementation play a strong (if not stronger) role in the management of both migraine headaches and seizures along with the mainstream medical approach of pharmacological management. For many sufferers, this information is rarely shared by their physicians.
Before we illuminate today's brain protecting nutrient, we need to cover a little basic physiology. Those of you with very good memories will undoubtably recall that the cells of our organs are made up of a lipid bilayer. Consider our membranes as sort of a fatty moat made up of bunches of molecules that look like a head with legs. On the outsides of both sides of the moat we have the heads, which are soluble in water. The legs that dangle from the heads face toward the center of the moat, meeting each other in the center. These legs are made up of fats that do not dissolve in water.
All by itself, not much can pass through this moat. Things that dissolve in water can make it past the heads, but not the legs in the center. Things that are fat soluble can't make it past the heads to get into the moat at all. A relatively impenetrable moat.
But things still need to get in and out of the cell. The cell needs to get messages in and out, it needs nutrients in and out and things manufactured inside the cell need to get outside of the cell.
The cell does this through the use of pores embedded in the membrane. Some go all the way through the moat, some only go partway. An important factor of how well messages are transmitted, or NOT transmitted, is the health of the cell membrane. Lower quality fats (such as trans fats) will impede healthy cell communication.
On the flip side, higher amounts of healthier fats in the cell membrane ensure that messages that are supposed to be passed along are passed along. Overall, it just makes for a healthier, happier cell.
What does this mean for a condition like epilepsy? Seizures and migraine headaches can occur when a cell is not healthy enough to communicate effectively with its neighbor. This can mean that an inhibitory neuron (that shuts down its neighboring cell) may not be effective at calming a connecting cell. Or, it could mean that an individual brain cell fires before it is supposed to fire, beginning a cascade of wild messages that trigger a headache or a seizure.
A recent study in the March issue of Epilepsy and Behavior demonstrated that the fish oil DHA was able to lower seizure rates. The study was small and non-randomized, but is consistent with our understanding of what triggers seizures as well as prior studies.
Of the ten people in the study receiving 1,000 mg of DHA, 6 had a reduction in the number of seizures. One patient had a marked reduction in seizure activity. Overall, the reduction in seizure activity was 16%. Quite an accomplishment for something as safe and inexpensive as fish oils.
Of course, the big question is, why had fish oils not been a recommendation prior to this study? Even that single patient with the marked reduction in seizure activity could've had a massive impact on his or her quality of life by such a simple intervention long before this study.

The Truth About Migraines
You may have heard of someone that wakes up early in the morning with extreme pain behind one of their eyes. The individual then tries to perform their normal daily activities, but can't because of the pain and difficulty focusing. The person feels hungry but doesn't feel like eating breakfast. The person avoids the kitchen all together because the smell of food makes them nauseous. The individual seeks solitude and tries to avoid any kind of sounds. This is a common daily occurrence for a person with a migraine headache.
Migraines may be minor for some people but extremely debilitating for others. Migraines can prevent one from working or performing their normal daily tasks at home. They often cause one to feel restless or have extreme anxiety. They can disrupt one's sleep and cause fatigue. They can cause one to lose their appetite.
Some people with migraine headaches may have a warning sign come on before the headache. This is called an aura. The aura often begins approximately 30 minutes before the headache comes on. Those experiencing an aura often describe it as spots, wavy lines or flashing lights.
The typical time frame for migraine headaches ranges from four to 72 hours if untreated. The frequency and time frame is different from person to person. The symptom of a migraine is often described as throbbing and is usually located on one side of the head. Some migraine sufferers may experience the headache on both sides. The pain is usually worsened by physical activity. Nausea and vomiting may also occur with the headache. Migraine sufferers are often sensitive to light, noise and smell.
Prodromes are also common with migraine headaches. These usually occur one or two days before the headache comes on. These are subtle symptoms that can signal a migraine will be coming. These subtle symptoms might include constipation, diarrhea, food cravings, depression or neck pain. Postdromes may also occur after a migraine is over. This is considered the final phase and the typical symptom is exhaustion or feeling euphoric.
If you are experiencing migraines, it is a good idea to record the frequency of attacks and characteristics of the attack. If the headaches persist, it is a good idea to seek professional help. The traditional method for dealing with migraines is medication. Because of the harmful side effects of medication, many people are seeking out other natural safe alternatives to help. Many find chiropractic as a safe, effective treatment method that has lasting results.

Brain Damaged From Migraines or Seizures? Try These 6 Tips
In my experience, many migraine or seizure sufferers do not fully understand that, even when headaches or seizures are not occurring, there is brain damage occurring. Luckily, there are many proven ways to help protect your brain from these dangerous conditions.
With that being said, it is common for mainstream medicine to recommend medications that control the seizure or headache, but do nothing to help protect the brain. This is obviously a severe shortcoming and a failing in the way we treat migraines and seizures in society today. It is indescribably important for a patient to understand that the ultimate responsibility for their health lies within. It does NOT lie with the physician. They can guide and coach you, but the job of improving the health of your brain is yours alone.
Brain cells require a massive amount of energy (in the form of ATP) to function normally. The mitochondria inside of a cell is where this valuable ATP is made. You can't make all this energy needed to run a healthy brain cell without waste byproducts. Imagine lighting a fire to cook or heat water. When you do this, smoke is going to be produced as a by-product of the fire. And we all have heard that in a house fire more victims die of smoke inhalation rather than the fire itself. So this smoke can be dangerous. In physiology, this "smoke" produced as a by-product of generating ATP is termed "free radicals."
You may have heard of free radicals before. These free radicals are hostile little molecules that damage anything they touch. For those of you that used to play with fireworks as a child, the little "buzzing bee" type of firework always reminds me of a free radical. When they were lit, these little fireworks started to spin very rapidly in a circle, faster and faster, spitting small flames out the side. The end result is a small circle of fire spinning and buzzing all over the ground. So, picture this little buzzing bee molecule bouncing around inside of your cell, damaging anything it touches. Proteins in the cell, your DNA, even the mitochondria that produces the free radicals in the first place while making ATP. All can be damaged by free radicals.
Complicating this bad situation is the fact that the mitochondria do not do a very good job of protecting themselves from free radical damage. So the one part of the cell that we really, really want to protect and keep from being damaged, can't really protect itself very well. Too much damage and the mitochondria itself dies off, leaving the poor little neuron with less ATP factories to run the way it's supposed to.
This leads to what I refer to as a "sick neuron."
In general, if we stop a sick neuron from communicating with its healthy neighbor by loading people up with drugs and stopping the communication, we think that we've been successful. All we've done is stop the communication, but we haven't fixed the sick neuron. In many cases, that neuron continues to degenerate. If one neuron is going to be sick, it is highly likely that the situation is present for other neurons to be sick as well. Merely controlling the headache or the seizure with medications, rather than a complete program to heal the brain cells, is not optional. It is required if you'd like to truly improve the state of the way your brain is functioning and protect your cognitive ability for years to come.
Given that the mitochondria are so incredibly important in the process of brain health, what can we do to protect them inside of our brain cells? Here are some ideas.
1) Manage stress - is what you are stressing about as important as damaging your brain? Probably not.
2) Avoid environmental chemicals. There is a barrage of more than 82,000 chemicals registered with the FDA that we are exposed to on a daily basis. This ranges from having your house sprayed for bugs or weeds, to all the pesticides, fungicides and herbicides that are used on our conventionally grown produce. We have tens of thousands of chemicals in our environment that we were never been exposed to before and that our bodies are unsure of how to eliminate. As an example, there are the flame retardants built into things like clothing, mattresses, pillows, dog beds and furniture. As of July 2007, mattresses were required to have a much higher level of flame resistance; the amount of chemicals required to make it this flame resistant are much higher. These chemicals than show up in our bloodstream and may contribute to health problems by destroying our mitochondria. Another example is the use of nonstick cooking surfaces, which is achieved through the use of chemicals, which also show up in the bloodstream.
3) Avoid ALL artificial sweeteners. Period.
4) Avoid exposure to heavy metals like lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury and aluminum. This can be achieved by taking your shoes off at the door, avoiding certain fish known to be high in mercury (like albacore tuna, ahi and swordfish) and staying away from cigarette smoke and areas where people commonly smoke.
5) Supplements like L-carnitine, Coenzyme Q10, whey protein and resveratrol have been shown to improve the health of our mitochondria.
#6 is clearly one of the most powerful methods to improve both the number and function of our mitochondria: Calorie restriction without nutrient restriction. This means that your 1200 calories / day comes from broccoli, not a Big Mac and supersized fries. With this approach, our cells have to use every scrap of glucose and every nutrient to function. Our cells run a tighter ship, creating more efficient and greater numbers of mitochondria. The opposite is true with too many calories-our cells get lazy and mitochondrial function heads south.
A study in the April issue of Free Radical Biology and Research provides further support of the concept that calorie restriction stimulates the production of more mitochondria in our brain cells, thereby protecting our brains and potentially reducing both the frequency and severity of migraine headaches and seizures, while working on truly healing the brain and eliminating these conditions.

Could Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) Be Causing Your Chronic Headaches?
Do you have chronic headaches and can't find the cause for them. Have you been to doctor after doctor and tried one medication after another without much luck? If so, Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) may be the unsuspecting culprit.
Although your doctor may prescribe medication that works for a time, headaches that are caused by EMFs will tend to resurface as the effectiveness of the drugs fade. Your doctor may cite stress, or lack of sleep or other seemingly rational explanation for your headaches. However, when these causes are present, they, too could be triggered by the EMFs that are leading to your headaches. There have been more than a few studies linking stress and headaches.
Mankind has lived for centuries with the naturally occurring EMFs from the Earth's core and interaction with the Sun's and the naturally occurring electromagnetic fields in our environment. However, it is only since the dawn of the industrial age, that we began to be bombarded with unnaturally produced EMFs and in intensities never before seen. Everything from cars, TVs, radios, broadcast signals, hair dryers, cell phones, computers and more emit EMFs that bombard us unnaturally. Living next to electrical power lines can bombard you at alarming levels that have even been linked to leukemia.
We're not suggesting you shun all EMF producers and head for the deep woods and life of wilderness -- even there you wouldn't escape EMF bombardment with all the satellites beaming down, so what can you do to protect yourself?
One of the simplest is to wear a magnet on your body that produces enough of its own EMF in a safe way. A multi-polar magnet is just such a tool that does this. By being multi-polar, the magnet effectively generates an omni-directional EMF field that is just strong enough to keep your body from being bombarded by the artificially generated EMFs. How is this possible? A small localized electromagnetic field can easily buffer a much stronger external EMF and essentially push those waves away from the local area much like a car's mass pushing the air out of the way as it drives down the highway.
Did you know that the Earth's EMF is protecting you from the Sun's much, much stronger EMF? The Sun has a diameter that is 109 times that of the Earth and a mass about 2?1030 kilograms, 330,000 times that of Earth. But even with this nearly incomprehensible difference in size and mass, not to mention the Sun being an EMF generator of magnificant proportions, the Earth EMF is able to push the incoming EMFs away. In fact, without Earth's EMF, there would be no atmosphere to hold the air we breathe as the Sun's EMF would simply carry away anything on the Earth's surface.
Similar to how the Earth protects you from the Sun, so can a small multi-polar magnet do much the same for you. Such a device works simply by creating just enough of a field that your body is buffered from surrounding EMFs that are bombarding you throughout your daily life. So, if you haven't considered wearing EMF protection before now, give it a try and see for yourself. I for one am on the computer all day long at work and started wearing a magnet a few months ago. One of the things I noticed the first week is that I no longer have headaches (that I actually thought were eyestrain related) at the end of the day and am much more alert when I get home and still have energy to spend with my family.
Our EMF Shield is a personal and wearable shield about the size of a credit card and is designed to shield our natural bio-electrical system from these artificially generated electromagnetic fields. Simply wear the EMF Shield by placing in your pocket, or inside your belt, or in your pocketbook and gain protection from surrounding EMFs. No longer be at the mercy of your computer, TV, cell phone, or other appliances that can emit harmful levels of electromagnetic energy! Your body will self-regulate back to its natural electrically functional state. Learn more by Clicking Here

Relief From Migraines: Pain Relief Methods and Techniques to Help Relieve Your Migraine Pain
Two of the most effective and immediate forms of relief from migraines are acupressure and massage. Both can be performed anywhere and by an individual on themselves in order to relieve their migraine pain.
Acupressure is the treatment of certain symptoms and ailments by using your fingers to apply pressure to specific pressure points on the body. It is a simple but highly effective pain relief method which crucially you can use anytime and anywhere to relieve your migraine pain.
There are 4 main pressure points to consider:
Top of the head.Between the shoulder and neck.Between the thumb and index finger.Between the big toe and second toe.These 4 main pressure points should be massaged for a period of 3 to 5 minutes each for as long as it takes to reduce pain. You will soon work out which have the best effect on you and then once you have worked that out you will have a quick and effective way of relieving your migraine pain. For the best results use your index finger or if that is uncomfortable the best alternative is a rubber eraser.
Whilst acupressure concentrates on relieving the build up of tension at key points around the body which contribute to migraines, massage can be used as an effective technique in relieving the pain in the head at the exact points the migraine is affecting. It is not only a pain relief mechanism due to the soothing nature of massage, it increases blood circulation which is important in combating migraine pain.
The three most effective areas to massage are:
The temples.Between the eyesCentre of the headWith each of these three massage techniques they can be done by you at any time with ease. That means that when you feel a migraine approaching you can employ these techniques with minimal fuss in order to get the pain to subside quickly and effectively before the migraine attack has a chance to fully take hold of you.
It is also a good idea to have regular massages by a professional who can reduce the build up of tension in the pressure points and massage spots that I have outlined. The severity of your migraines is directly correlated to the tension gathered at these points and so if you can regularly have these tensions relieved you will find that the migraine pain you experience can be significantly reduced.

Tension Headache Remedies - Top 3 OTC Drugs That Deliver Fast Results
In today's times, stress is inevitable. Many individuals get stressed for different reasons. It could be because of their daily tasks at work or from projects and assignments they have at school. As you may be aware of, pressure brought about by stress can lead to health problems. One of which is tension headache. Good thing though there are tension headache remedies that can easily deliver you from pain.
In terms of tension headaches, not all people seek medical attention. They think that this condition will normally go away. They perceive it to be the same with ordinary headaches. Self-medication with the help of over-the-counter pain relievers should not be overused. In looking for remedies for this, there is a variety of medications that can reduce the pain. Some of the drugs that can stop existing headache attack are the following:
1. Narcotics and Triptans
If you are suffering from both episodic tension headaches and migraines, triptans can help alleviate the pain. There are various studies showing how tripans relieve even the worst symptoms of headache. Opiates or narcotics are rarely used compared with triptans because of their adverse effects, but they too are effective in providing pain relief. Tripans can be injected. Some of the injectable forms of it include sumatriptan. They are good remedies for patients suffering from long-term headaches.
2. Pain Relievers or Analgesics
Simple over-the-counter analgesics are some of the best tension headache remedies readily available. Compared with other cures available, these drugs are the cheapest option. Analgesics are usually considered as the first line of treatment for alleviating headache pain. Some of the pain relievers that can help you out include aspirin, naproxen sodium, ibuprofen, naproxen, ketorolac, mefenamic acid, acetaminophen, and indomethacin.
3. Combination Drugs
In cases of severe tension headaches, there are some doctors who prescribe their patients with combination drugs. Meaning, you are directed to combine two different drugs in order to achieve the pain relief you need. Excedrin, which is made up of acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine, is one of the most prescribed combination medicines for pain relief. There are some patients who consider combination drugs more effective than the single-ingredient pain relievers. Unlike the single-ingredient pain medications, these drugs need to be taken with prescription from your physician. Long-term use can lead to addiction or can worsen your headache.
Tension headache remedies help relieve the symptoms and pain of headache. A friendly reminder for patients out there - never use these drugs for a long time. Moreover, educate yourself on the benefits and risks of taking these medicines. That way, you know what drugs should not be taken together with your headache medicines.
If your headache is caused by the tension you acquire from work, school or from doing your daily chores, you need to visit http://www.headacheremediescenter.com/ for some effective tension headache remedies.

Your Headache May Be Coming From Your Neck, Not Your Sinuses
Many people suffer from what are believed to be sinus headaches. These are the headaches that cause discomfort and hurt over the front of the face and forehead. Some people even get sinus infections which it is felt, lead to sinus headaches. Surprisingly however, a recent study from November 2011 begs to differ. Researchers had 58 patients who clearly seemed to have sinusitis, which is a sinus irritation, examined by specialists including a neurologist and an ear, nose and throat specialist, called an otolaryngologist. The examination found that only 3 of the patients had a sinus problem. The remaining 55 did not have a sinus condition but were instead suffering from migraine and tension-type headaches.
This, of course, means that many people having headaches are being misdiagnosed and consequently treated inappropriately with antibiotics and possibly with sinus surgery. It is commonly known that antibiotic therapy has side effects: stomach and intestinal irritation, nausea and if one is allergic antibiotics, a potentially life-threatening condition called anaphylactic shock. Also it has been recommended that antibiotics only be prescribed if, and only if, there is a confirmed bacterial infection. This is mainly because it has been found that bacteria are progressively becoming immune to our common antibiotics. If this trend continues, the day may come when we are unable to treat bacterial infections effectively with any medication. None of us want to return to a world where one has to be gravely worried over a small skin cut or scrape. Sinus surgery has the potential risks of complications of anesthesia and operation-caused infections.
If migraine and tension headaches are the true source of the headaches, what is to be done in the way of treatment?
Fortunately a wise choice in the treatment of headaches is chiropractic care. One research publication released in 2010 found that both migraine and tension-type headaches actually come from irritated areas in the upper bones of the neck, called vertebrae, which can irritate nerves and joints which is where the headaches originate. By using various forms of gentle, safe manipulation, chiropractic treatment is also a very cost-effective approach to helping this disabling condition. Chiropractors in the United States are licensed and regulated by the state in with they practice and take on going continuing education classes.
Instead of possible inappropriate treatment of antibiotics or surgery for sinus headaches, the treatment of choice has been found to be best performed by doctors of chiropractic.

Finding A Common Headache Cure You Can Try
The most common headache cures involve the drinking of water and applying a cold compress to your head where the pain is located. Water helps to hydrate your body and flush out toxins. Many headaches are caused by dehydration. Most individuals aren't even aware they are dehydrated. At the first onset of a headache, make sure you drink plenty of water. Applying ice to the painful area of the head allows the inflamed areas to relax. Both of these natural remedies will help a great deal with your headache pain.
Another headache cure you can try is to press your index fingers onto your temples. Applying this simple pressure and actually massaging the area gently can provide a great amount of relief. Squeezing the bridge of your nose can also provide this same type of relief. This is due hitting certain pressure points. Acupuncture therapy is based on these concepts and could be considered if your headaches persist over time.
Caffeine has often been known as a common headache cure. This is true to a point. Caffeine in small doses can actually thin the blood causing some relief on the pressure of the headache. However, large amounts of caffeine can actually cause headaches. So it is important to be careful at the amount of caffeine you intake on a daily basis.
A recently common headache cure is the use of various herbal supplements. This headache cure is becoming more popular as more and more naturopaths have demonstrated the benefits of these substances. Some common herbs shown to aid with headache pain include:
MelatoninCayenneMagnesiumVitamin B2Ginkgo Biloba
Before using any herb it is important to make sure you have discussed this with your physician. Some herbs may actually react with any current prescription medications you may be taking.
Quite often, if you are not a chronic headache sufferer, you headache may be caused by fatigue. Fatigue headaches usually go away after you get enough rest and/or nutrition. Ensuring you get a good night sleep, eat right and get some exercise during the day should take care of these type of headaches. If you do experience fatigue headache and you can't take a quick nap, drinking a Sports drink can help ease the symptoms. Getting a boost of vitamins and electrolytes found in these type of drinks can ease the symptoms of your headache.
Common headache cures are often enough for you to get rid of your headache pain. However, as previously mentioned if you do experience frequent headaches, don't hesitate to consult your doctor.

Cervicogenic Headache
Nothing can be quite as debilitating as a headache brought on at the wrong time. Most of us have experienced a headache at some point or another. What most people don't realize is that there are different types of headaches, and furthermore many different causative factors.
When discussing headache, the first distinction that we make is whether it's of a primary or secondary classification. Primary headaches are those that are not due to a secondary disease state or disorder. Some common examples of a primary headache are tension headaches, migraine headaches and cluster headaches. Secondary headaches are those related to another disease process. Examples of a secondary headache include those resulting from stroke, infection, thrombosis, myocardial infarction, neck or head trauma, inflammation, or seizure, to name a few.
For the purposes of this article we will be discussing cervicogenic headaches, which are of the secondary classification. Cervicogenic headache refers to a headache that is an outcome of stressed or irritated structures in or around the cervical spine. Common tissues causing the cervicogenic headache are the scalenes, the sterno-cleido-mastoid, and the sub occipital musculature.
The afore-mentioned tissues have very specific referral patterns in the head and neck. We will start with the sterno-cleido- mastoid, or SCM for short. Sterno-cleido-mastoid refers to the 3 attachment points for this particular tissue. The name refers to sterno for sternum, cleido for clavicle, and mastoid for the mastoid process or conical-shaped section of the temporal bone just behind the ear. The SCM is commonly injured in whiplash injuries. It can also become tight or irritated for those that are consistent stomach sleepers. The standard referral pattern for headaches generated from irritation of this tissue is into the jaw, around the eye and into the forehead.
The sub occipital musculature refers to a grouping of four particular tissues: the obliqus capitus inferior, the obliqus capitus inferior, the rectus capitus major, and the rectus capitus minor. These tissues are roughly in the area where the head meets the neck, or more specifically just under the occipital bone. The sub occipital musculature can be injured in whiplash injuries, repetitive strain injuries or can even become irritated from postural dysfunction. Common referral headaches from this tissue generally affect the posterior skull and vertex of the head. These types of headaches can at times illicit visual changes as well.
The trapezius muscle is a large muscle that extends from the occiput to the mid thoracic spine. It also extends laterally out to the scapulae. For the purposes of this discussion we will be talking about the upper portion of the trapezius, or upper trap for short. Referral pain from damage or irritation of the upper trap usually affects the postero-lateral neck, the jaw or mandible, and/or the temple.
Cervicogenic headaches can be a result of trauma to the neck and head, whiplash injuries, postural anomalies, structural malformations of the body or even the way that we sleep. While cervicogenic headaches are very treatable from a chiropractic standpoint, headaches can also be an indication of more serious pathology. When in doubt, it's always best to be evaluated by you local health professional.

Best Techniques For How To Stop Headaches Easy And Fast
Pain in the face, forehead, or upper neck portion, is usually referred to as a headache. The skin, nose, bone, ears, mouth, and eyes, are some of the pain-sensitive structures. Sometimes the pain could be felt around the jaws and teeth as well. The pain cannot be felt by the brain since it is not pain sensitive. Headache problems are usually caused by the muscle contraction which relate to chewing muscles and in many cases due to stress or mental tension.
Medications are available for treating headaches, but you can still cure the headache even without it. Relaxation is a non-medical remedy. An overstressed or overworked body can sometimes induce headaches. You can get relief from headache by just lying down with closed eyes within a completely dark room. Other natural cures may be deep massages, using pressure points, light physical exercises, aromatherapy, an ice pack, a warm shower, a huge glass of water or orange juice, and dietetic improvements.
It is believed that dehydration is a common reason for headaches. For this reason, drinking a huge glass of clear, cool water (or even any kind of fruit juice for instance orange juice) may be able to start the relief process. A firm massage performed over the face, head, and neck, it is believed, can remove headache pain immediately. Where aromatherapy is concerned, it has been found that inhaling peppermint, sandalwood, lavender, eucalyptus, and other natural oils can decrease, or may even eliminate pain. These scents can be found in some candles, oils, and soaps. Exercising usually increases the blood flow and circulation in the body, which will cause more oxygen and blood to reach the brain. Regular exercising should help with the prevention of headaches.
One more natural cure is letting warm water flow down your back and neck while in your shower. An aromatherapy soap, which was spoken of before, can be used at that time as well. Warm water is believed to relax the muscles, thus allowing for improved blood circulation and faster pain relief. One more method which is quite contradictory to earlier one is the ice pack method; which could be a block of ice, a cold towel (wet it and put it within the freezer), a bag of peas, or something else that is extremely cold. This cold "thing" may be applied to the pain spot and held there for a few minutes. This technique should assist to numb the pain and it can even lessen any inflammation of the area.
The pressure-point method could be very effective if done properly. In this process, the fleshy pads of your thumb and index finger must be firmly pressed and let go for two minute intervals. Also, it should be noted that a great many food stuffs contain substances which can induce headaches. When a headache starts, the foods which were consumed before the headache must be noted. Keeping a documentation should assist you to analyze whether there is any pattern for the cause of the headache. Once identified, try avoiding those food stuffs which prompt a headache. Having a large glass of orange juice may also be helpful in relaxing the muscles and increasing blood circulation, thus providing relief from headache pain.

Symptoms and Signs of a Headache
While people may experience different symptoms associated with headaches, there are many commonalities. Headaches can cause minor or severe pain and are identified as several different types.
Headaches are generally a pain in the head, between the eyes and often across the forehead and behind the eyes. A dull, aching pain is associated with headaches along with weariness, slight to severe fatigue and difficulty concentrating.
The most common headache is the tension headache. Symptoms of a tension headache vary among people, but most tension headaches cause pain in the front, sides and top of the head and sometimes in all of those areas. The pain associated with tension headaches is described as throbbing and constant and can be mild or moderate. Tension headaches are very common and most people report that tension headaches are more likely to occur in the middle of day and can last as little as a few minutes or half hour up to several days.
Tension headaches can present symptoms on and off and ranging in severity. If a person is presenting these types of symptoms more often and over a prolonged period of time, it can be identified as chronic tension headaches. The pain from chronic tension headaches gradually increases throughout the day and comes in waves of severity. If a person is experiencing this type of pain associated with headaches, it is often interfering with normal everyday routines and ability to concentrate. People with headache symptoms for more than half the days in a month are identified as chronic tension headache sufferers.
Moving from the general symptoms of headaches like dull, throbbing pain across the head in a band-like form, people can also have headache pain that causes more troublesome consequences. Other pain from tension headaches can strike upon awakening and cause one to even wake up due to throbbing head pain. Similarly, the pain can discourage sleep and cause someone to have trouble falling asleep. Concentration is affecting by this headache pain with difficulty staying focused. Symptoms also include irritability and fatigue as well as trouble looking at computer screens and televisions, a common daily occurrence in many people's lives and workdays. Some affected by these types of headaches also report muscle aches and slight sensitivity to light.
Beyond typical symptoms of headaches like dull throbbing pain over time causing disruption in your day, headaches can escalate into a more severe type called migraines. Migraines cause acute pain behind and between the eyes, sometimes triggering nausea, sinus problems and general achy muscles. Those people affected by migraines often have severe sensitivity to light. Migraine sufferers report that being in a cool dark room can help with the symptoms of migraines.
Pain in all areas of the head and even neck are associated with migraines. They can interfere with people's everyday tasks and often require the person to lie down and rest until the migraine passes. Over-the-counter medicines may not help relieve migraines. Often doctors will prescribe a medication to take right away or soon after the symptoms of a migraine begin. Those symptoms often come on quickly with intense pain between the eyes, an inability to focus, sensitivity to light, watery eyes and sinus pressure. Drowsiness and irritability have also been reported with migraines.
Generally, headaches present dull, aching band in a band-like fashion across the head causing mild, moderate or severe pain depending on the person. They can present many different symptoms and affect people differently, and may occur sporadically or more consistently depending on the person.

Understanding the Different Types of Headaches
Most people who have ever experienced a bad headache are subsequently aware of how miserable the pain can be. Even if the discomfort lasts for only a few minutes, sufferers will want to be able to develop a plan of action for ridding themselves of the pain. By becoming aware of the various types of headaches, individuals should be able to quickly determine the proper course of action.
Some pain arises simply through the process of contracting the common cold or flu. Whenever the body comes down with some sort of a head cold, it begins to produce excessive amounts of mucus in an attempt to catch the offending virus and drive it out of the affected area. When this fluid builds up within the sinus cavity, it exerts pressure elsewhere. Headaches are the usual result. Most men and women with colds simply choose to take some over-the-counter medication, rest as much as possible, and wait out the illness. There are specific medications, in fact, that are designed to attack and relieve sinus pressure.
People may also suffer from migraines, which are often mysterious in origin. Sometimes they come on suddenly, while other times they begin slowly and then rise to a thundering crescendo. People who suffer from regular migraines are often instructed to find a dark room in which to rest. A damp cloth may help as well. Though medical professionals suggest that altering one's diet may decrease the frequency of some migraines, everyone is ultimately different in how they will react.
Especially sensitive people may also experience headaches that arise whenever the barometric pressure suddenly rises or falls. Not everyone responds in a similar manner, but those who notice that they tend to get lightheaded or dizzy before strong cold fronts roll through can prepare themselves for their symptoms. An ibuprofen can often relieve this pain, though men and women may also want to consider abstaining from strenuous activity until their bodies become used to the new pressure.
Individuals may also develop head discomfort that arises from some sort of chemical dependency. Caffeine addiction is one of the most common. In today's busy world, many people have a daily cup of coffee before they head off to work. If they suddenly cut themselves off from their caffeine source, they may develop a bad headache shortly thereafter.
Ultimately, most types of headaches can be dealt with by being proactive. By obtaining a pain reliever before the discomfort becomes especially bad, the majority of people should be capable of weathering the storm. Chronic medical conditions, of course, should always be overseen by a reputable medical professional.

The Causes of Recurring Headaches
A headache is a pain - literally and figuratively. It can interfere with life, causing lost time or missed work and frustration. But when the pain comes back again and again, what does it mean? What causes recurring headaches?
Identifying the type of headache is key to prevention. There are five main types of headaches; migraine, tension, cluster, sinus, and rebound.
MIGRAINE HEADACHE
A migraine headache is cause by a neurological disorder and can last from 4 - 15 hours. Women make up 75% of adult migraine suffers. However migraines strike prepubescent boys and girls equally. For most, a typical migraine headache is unilateral or only affecting one side of the head. Migraine headache symptoms include nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound, and can be triggered by every day activities. About one-third of people suffering from migraines also experience what is known as an aura, or some kind of signal or warning that a migraine is on its way. An aura can be visual, such as blind spots or wavering lines, or physical, like numbness in a hand or arm. At this time, the cause of migraines is unknown, but it is thought to be the body's excessive reaction to stimuli. Changes in sleep patterns, skipping meals, menstrual cycles in women, weather changes, bright lights, and a host of other stimuli can all bring on a migraine headache.
TENSION HEADACHE
A tension headache feels like pressure around the head or a constant ache, usually at the temples or back of the neck. Tension headaches are not considered to be as severe as migraines and are usually not accompanied by nausea. They are also not as debilitating and do not interfere with day-to-day tasks the way migraines do. Nonetheless, a tension headache can be agitating and accounts for approximately 90% of all headaches. Stress, dehydration, sleep deprivation, and eyestrain are all culprits of tension headaches.
CLUSTER HEADACHE
A cluster headache is recognized by excruciating, unilateral pain, generally centered in the area around the eyes. Regarded by some to be the most painful of headaches, they are usually short in duration, lasting around 15 minutes. Some women say that the pain of a cluster headache is a worse pain than childbirth. Researchers have recently linked low testosterone production to a possible cause of cluster headaches.
SINUS HEADACHE
A sinus headache is caused by inflammation of the sinuses, or sinusitis. Most inflammations are caused by infection, allergies or autoimmune disorders. This type of headache is usually accompanied by other symptoms, such as nasal congestion, facial pain or coughing. Relief can be as simple as clearing up the inflammation.
REBOUND HEADACHE
A rebound headache is a special type of headache, also known as a "medication overuse headache." They usually occur in chronic headache sufferers when pain relievers are regularly taken to relieve recurring headaches. Rebound headaches occur frequently, often daily. If the condition is severe, a competent medical practitioner should be consulted. But for the majority of recurring headache sufferers, the cure can be as simple as a little TLC. Taking care of your body such eating right, exercising, getting plenty of sleep, drinking enough water, and managing stress may be all the treatment you need.

What You Need to Know About Migraines in Children
Migraine headache symptoms in children are very common. As they grow older, the chronic headaches will eventually disappear. As a matter of fact, it is quite rare for anyone above fifty years old to get a headache. A large percentage of headaches in children are those attributed to migraines, sinus headaches, and chronic tension headaches. So, don't confuse right away your kid's frequent headache complaints to brain tumors since those cases are very, very rare.
When headaches occur in children, they are often bilateral (in the front temporal lobe) in nature and are of the non-throbbing types. Migraine with aura, or headache accompanied by visual or sensory symptoms like seeing lights, is also rare for those who are less than eight years old. Nausea and vomiting are common, most especially in young children. Thus, if your kid is prone to headache, then have him avoid strong or blinking light, noise, strong odors, and excessive movement. In most cases, the best relief is not to give any medication but to just let the kid sleep and rest. If medication is needed, a baby aspirin or mild paracetamol is almost always the solution.
The most common causes of headaches in children are those that are brought about by illnesses, infection, colds, or fever symptoms. In addition, sinusitis, pharyngitis, and ear infections can also cause headaches. The headaches will go away once the primary medical disorder has been cured. For example, once you get the ear infection treated, the frequent headaches that go with it will also disappear. Migraines can be triggered by fatigue, stress, bright lights, changes in the weather, and food. Take note, too, that tension headaches in children are mostly brought about by academic difficulties and poor posture; if those factors are eliminated, then the headaches will simply not recur.
If your child has worsening symptoms of tension headaches and they are accompanied by loss of vision, muscle weakness, or speech problems, then those headaches may point to a much more serious neurological problem. Medical conditions such as hydrocephalus, meningitis, encephalitis, brain abscess, brain hemorrhage, tumor, blood clots, or head trauma can be indicated by extreme symptoms of tension headaches. If any of these symptoms accompany the headache complaints of your child, then you must consult a pediatrician as soon as possible to get him or her treated on time.
To understand and to know more about migraine headaches, read the most updated and well-researched articles about it.

How You Can Cure The Incurable Headache
Have you ever suffered from a headache? If yes, then you know how uncomfortable it could be. Headaches can paralyze you for days, weeks and even months! Headaches can make your life miserable. But despite the fact that more than 10 million Americans suffer from headaches, traditional medicine cannot really offer a cure. Because the most common approach is simply giving a pill to treat the symptoms, it looks like we might be doomed to a lifetime of Excedrin and days lost. Is there anything else that can be done?
The better approach would be to find the root cause of the problem and eliminate it. Sounds simple, so why don't they do it in every medical office? Because in real life it is not that easy. Let me give you an example.
A middle-aged, pleasant lady came to my office complaining of chronic headaches crippling her life. She was seen by multiple doctors without getting help. The last doctor she saw advised her to check for possible hormone imbalances and she came to see me. I created a list of possible causes:
Migraines, a poorly understood condition, is probably related to hormone imbalance. She was at an age when hormonal decline was there for sure.
Tension headaches that can be related to depression. Even though she denies it, she did not look happy. So depression was still on my list.
Headaches, secondary to excessive coffee intake. Yes! She was drinking several cups of coffee every day. But she said that could give it up without a problem.
Excessive alcohol intake can also cause headaches. But she denied drinking alcohol, except socially.
Head tumors are notoriously known as a reason for chronic headaches. But her regular doctor had an MRI done that ruled out any brain mass.
Not enough sleep can cause chronic headaches. And it was definitely a problem, because her sleep was not great and not long enough.
Electrolyte imbalance, especially magnesium deficiency, can be the cause of chronic headaches. Magnesium is necessary to relax. Not enough magnesium because of low greens in your diet and/or soil depletion, and you can't relax your head muscles, resulting in chronic headaches. But her magnesium was normal.
Certain foods as well as food additives like chocolate, cheeses, MSG and sulfides can cause headaches. But from many years of suffering from headaches she learned all about that foods and additives and stayed away from them.
Allergies, like food allergies, causing sinusitis, can be the cause. And she indeed was suffering from frequent sinusitis and food allergies.
Even a hole in the heart can cause severe headaches. But her echo-cardiogram did not show any hole.
Do not forget about too much stress in our life. It can cause anything from headaches to even death. And this is understandable: we are not designed to sustain that much stress. Humans are hunters/gatherers intended to work only 2-3 hours a day. Can you imagine? But how many hours do you work a day? Your spouse?
What we did first was deal with her hormonal imbalance and food allergies. And though she did respond initially, she was still suffering from headaches. We continued to look for the cause. I was hoping that specific imaging studies would help and was waiting for more information. And then came the answer.
She went to a different continent for a week. And a miracle happened: no more headaches over there. But they returned as soon as she came back. What it meant was: allergic inflammation in the sinuses! And then the imaging studies came: a lot of problems in the nose and sinuses with blockage.
She went for surgery and did well after that.
Treating headaches for this woman, and for so many others who don't even seek the proper treatment can be much more complicated than popping a pain reliever every four to six hours.
Are you suffering from headaches?How often?What do you do to get rid of them?
