Headaches come in a variety of forms, ranging from a mild ache in your temples to intense, crippling pain that affects your vision.
The truth is, not all headaches are the same. They differ in severity, symptoms, and causes. Some of the most common types include tension headaches, cluster headaches, migraines, organic headaches, rebound headaches, and chronic daily headaches.
If you suffer from any of these, you’re not alone. Millions of people regularly deal with headache pain.
Tension Headaches
Tension headaches are among the most common types. These are often triggered by stress, anxiety, or even depression. In fact, around 90% of all headaches are tension-related.
The pain from a tension headache is usually felt throughout the entire head, rather than being localized to specific areas like the temples or sinuses. Women are more likely to experience tension headaches than men, but anyone can be affected at any time.
Cluster Headaches
Approximately 1 million people in the US suffer from cluster headaches. These are intensely painful and tend to occur multiple times a day over a period of weeks or months. After a period of remission, the headaches often return, starting the cycle again.
Migraines
Migraines are unique because they are considered a biological condition. Nearly 30 million people in the US suffer from migraines annually. In fact, one in four Americans experiences migraines, making them more common than diabetes, coronary heart disease, and asthma combined.
Common Headache Causes
A frequent cause of headaches is some form of imbalance within the body, often triggered by stress, anxiety, trauma, or other factors.
When one part of the body is out of balance, it can impact the entire system. For instance, if you hold tension in your upper back or shoulder muscles, it can easily lead to headaches and pain in other areas of the body.
Treatment Options for Headaches
Many people treat headaches with over-the-counter pain relievers like aspirin. However, while these may temporarily alleviate symptoms, they don’t address the root cause of the headache.
Eventually, the underlying cause returns, and with it, the pain.
Now, there’s a natural, holistic treatment option that targets the source of your headaches: spinal decompression.
The Advantages of Gentle, Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
Our spinal specialists focus on restoring the body’s natural balance through gentle, targeted decompressions in the affected areas. Since the back and spinal discs serve as the body’s central framework, realigning them can quickly and permanently relieve headaches and other types of pain.
