Premier Headache and Migraine Treatment in Austin, Texas
When a bad headache or migraine strikes, it can feel like sensory overload.
Everything feels painfully brighter and louder.
Pain, weakness, nausea, numbness, and/or tingling sensations can drive you mad. You might even have trouble seeing or speaking, and all you want to do is be in a dark, cool, quiet place away from everything and everyone.
You just want it to END.
You’d give anything for relief.
But more importantly, you want long-term, lasting relief or total prevention and elimination of those debilitating chronic headaches or migraines.
That’s where we can help.
There are many causes for headaches & migraines and treating them requires a thorough understanding of the pain.
Headache/Migraine pain can be triggered by noise, certain foods, stress, changes in blood sugar, weather conditions, insomnia, vascular changes, and other factors.
Only 5% of headaches are indicative of a serious health problem. The other 95% are ‘primary headaches’ or headaches where the headache itself is the main concern. Those fall into the categories of tension, cluster, or migraine headaches.
One common headache trigger is tension in the neck. Today people spend more time at desks and doing other sedentary actions than in previous times. We remain in fixed positions while using a computer, a sewing machine, or on an assembly line. This posture encourages tension in the neck, the upper back and shoulders, and the scalp, igniting a headache.
Tense neck muscles are also a common reaction to fear, worry, stress, or anger. If we feel these emotions often enough, tension in those muscles almost becomes the norm.
Food sensitivities also frequently trigger headaches. In fact, headaches are one of the main symptoms of food or gluten sensitivities.
Whatever is causing your headaches, you just want relief from the pain.
Treatment Options for Headaches & Migraines
Pain medication is often the first choice for headache relief. The problem is that over the counter medications often don’t act fast enough or aren’t powerful enough to relieve the pain while prescription medications often have negative side effects and may be addictive. Taking pain relievers on a regular basis can even cause headaches, known as rebound headaches.
