How Norwalk CT Headache Sufferers Get Relief Naturally

By Clyde Banosia


Headaches are a common neurological condition which is experienced by practically every person at some time. They are caused by many different triggers, manifest in varied forms and may range greatly in intensities. A Norwalk CT chiropractic practice could provide natural relief.

With so much variety in manifestation, no two people have the same exact experience. Some episodes are brief while others continue for days with the pains being described as either pounding pulses, sharp stabs, throbbing, or dull aches. The physical discomfort may engulf the entire head, concentrate in a specific portion of the brain, press the sinuses, or manifest behind one's eyes.

Serious medical conditions are responsible for only a small portion of headaches as most are due to influences such as blood sugar fluctuations, drug reactions, stress, tension, diseases, and food triggers. Some people experience only the aching while others might also feel symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting or blurry vision. Recurrent episodes are typically classified as being either migraine or tension.

The most common type is related to stress and tension, and though frequently associated with severe pain, they are rarely accompanied by nausea, vomiting or throbbing. The cause is usually inflamed tissue and pinched nerves resulting from subluxations in the upper spine. The knotted muscles and sensory disruption manifest as either a tightness about the head or a dull ache concentrated behind the eyes.

As the result of a complex interaction between the vascular, hormonal and nervous systems, migraines are far more intense. They are not fully understood and are typically accompanied by extreme nausea, vomiting, spells of dizziness and flashing lights in the eyes. The throbbing, stabbing pains often last for several days and are frequently debilitating.

The primary means through which chiropractors usually address such issues are manual spinal manipulation and therapeutic massage. Every patient has a unique experience so conducting a thorough evaluation initially is necessary. Though a person is likely to feel immediate relief with the first session, regular appointments may be best to maintain control.
