There are many forms of headaches including migraine, suboccipital tension, cluster,temporal, sinus, hormonal, and post traumatic headaches. Dr. Staley has successfully treated all types of headaches.
What is the goal for treating headaches?
Dr. Staley evaluates a patient’s progress by looking at frequency of headaches and their intensity. The intensity is measured on a scale of 1-10. And finally, he will look at how long the headache lasts. The goal for each patient is to get to zero for each measurement.
Types of headaches. While tension headaches are the most common, migraines get most of the attention because of their intensity. Migraine symptoms may also include depression, crankiness, anxiety, stiff neck, vision changes, sensitivity to light and sound, severe pain, nausea and vomiting. In many cases, patients must schedule their life around
headaches. Other headaches may result from trauma, poor diet, dehydration, medications, stress and even weather. Family Chiropractic addresses all causes of headaches.
Treatment for headaches. Many patients begin with OTC pain killers. Often, people may proceed to prescription pain medications. Certainly, all of these might offer some temporary relief. The goal of chiropractic care is to treat the underlying cause of the headache.
