There are over a dozen different types of headaches. By a wide margin, the most common type is a tension headache, and this is what most people will be afflicted by when they do have a headache. These headaches usually have an underlying cause, and in the case of tension headaches, the trigger is often stress.

That being the case, anyone exposed to stressful situations for an extended period is a candidate to have some form of headache. This includes youngsters and children as well as adults. Several factors that influence muscles and nerves in the neck and head can also be responsible for tension headaches. Many factors can lead to muscle injuries, including trauma to the body or repetitive motions that you might encounter at work.

Another reason tension headaches might develop is poor posture due to increased stress on the muscles in the neck and head. As there are so many causes of headaches, it is challenging to diagnose them and treat them accurately without a thorough history and examination. If you’ve had headaches for a long time, your healthcare provider may ask you to keep a diary that includes the circumstances at the time your headache popped up.

For instance, you might have to track activities you were doing, foods you were eating, and many other possible triggers. We may use x-rays, MRIs or CT scans to determine whether your headaches are the type we can help at our corrective chiropractic center. This process will allow us to design a treatment approach that will lessen the severity and frequency of your headaches and migraines.

The various types of headaches include:

• Tension Headaches
• Migraine Headaches
• Sinus Headaches
• Thunderclap Headaches
• Ice Pick Headaches
• Cluster Headaches
• Rebound Headaches
• Spinal Headaches
• Cervicogenic Headaches
• Rebound Headaches
• Post Traumatic Headaches

If you visit a regular medical doctor, they might prescribe some pain relief medication for you. That medication will probably be effective for a little while. However, these drugs often do nothing to address the underlying cause of your migraines or headaches. Prolonged usage of such medications may cause you to have rebound headaches which are even worse than the originals.

Other things that trigger rebound headaches are:

• using sedatives
• using narcotics
• using barbiturates
• taking migraine medications
• excessive consumption of caffeine products.

The truth is, for many of our headache patients, visiting our Boynton chiropractic care center proved to be the most effective way to relieve their headaches. Dr. Haasseem will do everything possible to find an accurate cause of your headaches. And if you have some type of stress affecting the muscles in your head and neck, we will know right where to go to relieve the discomfort.

In some cases, massage therapy can relieve pressure on nerves in these areas. Other times, specific corrective spinal adjustments may be necessary to realign out-of-place vertebrae. In any case, we will find the right program of treatment for your specific circumstances, and we’ll work together with you to achieve a more pain-free lifestyle.
