If you suffer with headaches, do not let anyone tell you they are "normal." Headaches are far from normal and are aften symptoms of severe underlying problems.
Headaches can result from many conditions. But research has revealed many headaches can be traced to the area of cervical vertebrae [spinal bones of the neck].
Because the neck is extremely mobile, there is constant danger of displacement of one or more of these vertebrae, which may compress and irritate the cervical nerves.
Intermediate causes of headaches include digestive, eliminative, kidney and heart problems; eye problems [chiefly eye strain]; infected tonsils; nerve pressure form spinal conditions involving cervical and other areas of the structural system; and sometimes, though very rare, brain problems. In women, disorders of the reproductive system are often the cause of headaches.
Although popping a pill may seem to be an easy answer to headache pain, it is not. It merely masks the symptom, PAIN; the underlying problem remains. As you become immune to the pain drug, you will require higher doses, which will not stop the pain.
If you are a headache sufferer, the best thing you can do it seek professional help by calling 702-920-6556 for an immediate appointment. There is absolutely no reason for you to suffer for even one more day. Even if you have suffered for years, and visited many types of health specialists without relief, Dr. John G. Florendo can offer the solution that you have been looking for.
Common Types of Headaches
Tension Headaches -
Are the most common type of headache. They are caused by muscle strain, or contraction. The pain is usually located on the forehead or the back of the head and neck. The pain is usually described as a dull ache, or a bandlike sensation surrounding your head as if you were wearing a tight bathing cap.
Usually, these headaches begin gradually and then last a few hours to several weeks. Factors that may trigger them include stress, diet, fatigue and poor posture.
Migraine Headaches -
is a general term and may take many forms. The headache pain occurs when the blood vessels of the head dilate (exapnd) and press on the sensitive nerve endings. Conditions that may trigger migraine headaches include stress, certain foods, fatigure and the menstrual cycle.
The most common type of migrain is called a common migraine. Another type is known as a classic migraine. These headaches are often preceded by an "aura" (unusual visual sensations such as blotches or sparkles) or by sensations of weakness, numbness, or tingling. The victim may also experience nausea, vomiting, cold hands and feets, and a feeling of soreness or exhaustion afterward. Though these headaches are just as sever as the common migraine, they generally do not last as long (24 hours or less).
Cluster Headaches -
are sometimes classified as migraines because the pain is caused by dilation of blood vessels. The name "cluster" describes the way the headaches come in distinct clustered episodes. In other words, you may have a bout of headaches for a week or two and then not experience them again for some time. Attacks usually last 15 to 30 minutes and occur in violent, punishing repetition. More men than women suffer from these headaches, and more sufferers are over 40 years old. Alcohol is a common trigger.
Other Types of Headaches-
To list and describe all the many types of headaches would fill an entire book. Some other types of headaches include those due to Cerival or Neck headaches, dental problems, eye disorders, allergies, and sinuses. Two very serious, though much less common, causes of headaches are brain tumors and inflammation of the membranes covering the brain. This is why it is very important to have a thorough examination to determine the type and source of headache pain.
A headache can be serious and hold you back from every day activities. Before you get to the point of regular pain or worse, schedule an appointment at the Unlimited Wellness Institute with Dr. Florendo at 702-920-6556.
