Headaches come in all different sizes and severities, from a dull ache in your temples to a debilitating pain that makes it difficult to see.
The fact is that all headaches are not created equal. They can vary by severity, symptoms and cause. The most common types of headaches include tension, cluster, migraine, organic, rebound, and chronic daily headaches, among others.
If you suffer from any of these types of headaches, you are not alone. Millions of people experience the pain of headaches regularly.
Tension Headaches
One of the most common types of headaches are those caused by tension. These are related to stress, anxiety and even depression. About 90% of all headaches are classified as tension-related.
With a tension headache, the pain is generalized throughout the head, rather than in the temples, the sinuses or another individual spot. Women tend to get tension headaches more frequently than men, although they can strike anybody at any time.
Cluster Headaches
About 1 million people in the US suffer from cluster headaches. These are sharp, extremely painful headaches that tend to occur several times in a single day for a period of weeks of months. They can then go away for a similar period of time, only to return again later.
Migraines
Migraine headaches fall into a category of their own. That’s because they are believed to be a biological disease that affects nearly 30 million people in the US every year. One out of every four people in the US suffers from migraines, more than diabetes, coronary heart disease and asthma combined.
Common Causes of Headaches
One of the most common causes of headaches is some sort of imbalance within the body. This can be caused by stress, anxiety, trauma or one of many other reasons.
An imbalance in one part of the body is certain to effect the body’s entire unified system. For example, if you are carrying stress in the muscles in your upper back or shoulders, this can easily lead to headaches and pain in other parts of your body as well.
Headache Treatment Options
Most people treat headache pain like they would any other ache or pain: With aspirin or other pain-killing over-the-counter medication. But, in reality, this does nothing to cure your headache. It only temporarily masks the symptoms so that you can return to your normal activities without discomfort.
Eventually, however, whatever was causing your headaches in the first place will return … and so will the pain of your headaches.
But now there’s an all-natural, organic headache treatment that can attack the root causes of your headaches so that you can permanently be rid of them … spinal decompression.
Benefits of Gentle, Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Treatment
Our spinal disc doctors specialize in returning natural balance to the body by making a series of small decompressions to the affected area. The back and related spinal discs are the frame upon which the rest of the body hangs, so when it is returned into balance naturally and gently, it can relieve headaches and other pains quickly and permanently.
