Headache

Ø Headache

Does a headache bother you? Most of us have a headache from time to time and they know how much it can affect our daily lives. According to Norwegian Health Informatics (NHI), 8 out of 10 had a headache more than once a year. For some people, this is rare, while for others it can often bother them. There are several types of headaches that can cause headaches.
Tension Headache (Tension Headache)

 

Ø 
One of the most common types of headaches is tension and tension headaches, and there are usually several causes. This type of headache can be aggravated by stress, caffeine, alcohol, dehydration, poor diet, stiff neck muscles, etc. And it is often seen as a pressure / tight band around the forehead and head, as well as the neck in some cases.

Migraine

Ø 
Migraines have a different perspective and mainly affect young and middle-aged women. Migraine attacks can have a so-called "aura", where, for example, you have a distraction in front of your eyes before the attack starts. Presentation is a strong, throbbing pain that develops on one side of the head. During an attack, which lasts 4-24 hours, it is normal for the victim to be very sensitive to light and sound.

Ø 
Cervical surgery (neck pain)

Ø 
When the muscles of the neck and joints are tightened based on the headache, it is called a cervical headache. This type of headache is more common than most people think. Tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches usually overlap slightly, forming what we call joint headaches. Headaches are often the result of tension and muscles in the upper part of the neck and muscles in the lower back, upper back/shoulders, and jaw. The chiropractor will work with the muscles and joints to allow you to improve the practice and eliminate the symptoms. The treatment will be based on a detailed examination for each patient, which also takes into account the patient's health status. Treatment may include joint correction, muscle work, ergonomics/posture indications, and other treatments tailored to the individual patient.

What can I do even against neck pain and headaches (cervicogenic headaches)?

 

1. General exercise, specific exercise, stretching, and activities are recommended but stay within the pain limit. Two walks a day for 20-40 minutes affect the whole body and sore muscles.

2. Trigger point/massage balls are highly recommended - they come in different dimensions so you can hit well even on all parts of the body. There is no better self-help than this! We recommend the following (click on the image below) - which is a complete set of 5 pivot points/massage balls of different sizes:

 

3: Specific training with training tricks of different opponents (such as this complete set of 6 knits of different resistance) can help you train strength and functionality. Knitting training often includes more specific training, which in turn can lead to more effective injury prevention and pain reduction.

4. Pain relief - cooling: BIOFREEZE is a natural product that can relieve pain by gently cooling the area. Cooling is especially recommended when the pain is very strong. When it calms down, heat treatment is recommended - that is why it is desirable to have cooling and heating available.

5. Pain relief - warming up: Warming up tense muscles can increase blood circulation and reduce pain. We recommend the following reusable hot/cold gasket (click here to read more about it) - which can be used for both cooling (can be frozen) and heating (can be heated in a microwave oven)

Ø  What does a chiropractor do?

Ø 
Muscle, joint, and nerve pain: These are things that a chiropractor can help prevent and treat. Chiropractic treatment mainly refers to the restoration of movement and function of the joints, which can be reduced by mechanical pain. This is achieved by so-called joint correction or manipulation techniques, as well as joint mobilization, stretching techniques, and muscle work (such as trigger point therapy and deep soft tissue work) on the affected muscles. With increased function and less pain, individuals may find it easier to engage in physical activity, which in turn will have a positive impact on both energy and health.

 

Ø  Many headache patients benefit from chiropractic treatment. Headaches and migraines are often associated with irregularities in the work of the joints and muscles of the shoulder arches, neck, neck, and head. Chiropractic therapy wants to restore the normal functioning of the musculoskeletal system and nervous system, to reduce pain, promote general health, and improve the quality of life.

Exercises, training and ergonomic considerations.

Ø 
Based on your diagnosis, a specialist in muscle and bone disorders can inform you about the ergonomic considerations you need to take to prevent further damage and thus ensure the fastest possible healing time. After the end of the acute part of the pain, in most cases, you will be given home exercises that also help reduce the chance of recurrence. In the case of chronic obo

Answer: Without additional information, it is impossible to make a diagnosis - but it can be said that migraine attacks are unilateral, as are combined headaches and cervicogenic headaches. You must inform the clinician about the duration, intensity, frequency of attacks and other possible symptoms such as photosensitivity, sensitivity to sound, nausea, vomiting or others.

 

Ø  Q: I have a nervous headache on my left side. Why do I have it?

Ø 
Headache in our country is a little unknown, but we assume you mean headache. Nerve irritation can occur in the neck, passing to the skull, jaw, and up to the temple or trigeminal nerve. It is then called the last trigeminal neuralgia. Other diagnoses that can be experienced as nerve pain or nerve pain are tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches, or combinations of headaches.

Ø 
Q: Can a headache cause poor focus?

Ø 
If you are thinking about mental focus, then it is natural that headaches can have a deactivating effect on concentration and mental performance. You may also experience visual disturbances related to the so-called aura (often in the form of dots or various patterns in the visual field), which often occur before a migraine attack.

Ø 
Q: How often is a headache?

Ø 
Answer: According to the NHI, 8 out of 10 have head injuries several times a year. Several variables play a role here, including what kind of headache you have. Several types of headache (tension headache, cervicogenic headache, migraine) can be reduced in frequency and intensity by musculoskeletal therapy in the form of physiotherapy, chiropractic, or manual therapy.

Ø 
Q: Have a headache that is amplified by strong light. What could it be?

Ø 
Headache that is intensified by strong light or that you become sensitive to light is a characteristic that suggests migraine. Migraines are a one-sided form of headache that can occur with or without an aura warning. Some other types of headaches can also be made worse by strong light.

Ø 
Why do I have a headache when I look right, left, up and down?

Ø 
The most common reason is the excessive use of eye muscles. Another possible cause is sinusitis. Similar symptoms may also be due to migraine symptoms/disease. Do the symptoms include blurred vision, red eyes, or pain in the eyeball itself? If this is the case, consult your doctor.

Ø 
Application Headache on the forehead What could it be?

Ø 
Headache in the forehead can be a consequence of tension pain, also known as stress headache, but also referencing pain in the muscles at the top of the neck, neck and in the transition between the neck and chest (upper trapezius is a common cause of such headaches).

Ø 
Can you get a headache from the neck muscles?

Ø 
Yes, both neck muscles and neck joints can provide the basis for headaches. When anatomical structures in the neck cause headaches and headaches, it is called cervicogenic headache (neck-related headaches). Some common muscles and joints that cause headaches are the upper trapezius muscle and the lower and upper neck joints.
