Chiropractic Association states that “Nine out of 10 Americans suffer from headaches. The national headache foundation states that “Over 45 million Americans get chronic, recurring headaches. This is more than the 33 million sufferers of asthma, diabetes, and coronary heart disease combined.”
There are many that feel there is no relief for their headaches. Some have tried various treatments, others have tried nothing. You should not have headaches. Any headache is not normal. People live with headaches 2-3 times a day thinking that is normal. That is until they get treatment with Chiropractic care at Time 2 Adjust Family Chiropractic in Sparks & Reno, NV. When people realize they can go through life with no headaches their whole world changes.
Headaches have many different forms. You may have heard of a few of these types of headaches. Stress headache, tension headache, cervicogenic headache, sinus headache, cluster headache, and migraine.
Migraines are a bit different from headaches in symptoms and treatment. They do however make your head hurt and are commonly generalized as a headache. A chiropractor for headaches in Sparks & Reno, NV can help you find relief from these many types of headaches. Time 2 Adjust Family Chiropractic in Reno Sparks, NV is here to help you with your headaches and migraines.
Time 2 Adjust Family Chiropractic should be your first stop when looking for headache treatment. Chiropractors use chiropractic adjustments, trigger point therapy, exercise, stretches, and diet to help with your headaches and migraines. This is different from other physicians, who will often recommend an over-the-counter drug or refer you to a chiropractor anyway. In cases that are more complex the doctor will try some drug treatments or Botox injections. Many of these severe cases will see a chiropractor, even when using medication or Botox injection to treat migraines.
Many of my patients with severe headaches and migraines report that a weekly adjustment greatly reduces the amount of medications and Botox injections they require. While medications can be used to treat headaches and migraines they are only symptom-based treatments. Chiropractic for headaches in Reno, NV on the other hand does more than address the symptoms. Chiropractic addresses the whole body and the root causes which results in greater and longer relief from headaches and migraines.

Tension headaches are the most common type of headache. This type will present with pain in the pattern of wearing a headband. Tension type headaches can last anywhere from a short 20 to 30 minutes or for several days. Women are two times more likely to have this type compared to men. Tension type headaches tend to start in the midday and occur gradually. The level of discomfort can vary throughout the day. A few causes of tension headaches include emotional stress, emotional stress, lack of rest, fatigue, hunger, or overexertion.
Having cervicogenic headaches commonly is related to neck pain. The American Heritage Dictionary defines cervicogenic as “originating from the cervical spine or other anatomical structures in the neck, such as nerves or muscles…” So we can see that nerves, muscles and other structures in the neck are what cause a cervicogenic headache. Those that have postural issues, injuries, auto accidents, and other neck trauma can be prone to cervicogenic headaches. Until issues in the neck are resolved the headaches are likely to reoccur.
Cluster headaches present with pain in or around the eye. This pain can radiate out into the face, neck, shoulders, and even hands. You may even experience tearing or eyelid drooping. These headaches can happen every day and tend to come at the same time every day. They can last 15 minutes or for hours. Commonly they can occur at night after going to bed. While researchers do not fully understand cluster headaches, they have found that alcohol sometimes triggers cluster headaches.
Migraines not only cause painful headaches, but also have visual disturbances, nausea and will affect one side of the head. They have a variety of presentations and may vary from this basic definition. Migraines have four parts: prodrome phase, aura, migraine pain, tenderness and lingering pain. In the prodrome phase an individual may experience things like moodiness, cravings, fatigue, stiff neck, or sensitivity to sounds or smells. Aura is a visual disturbance such as lines, dots, blind spots, and can vary from person to person. The aura tends to last a half hour to an hour. The migraine pain comes next and can last a few hours or a few days. When the migraine pain ends the suffer can have tenderness and lingering pain from the migraine. A large variety of stimuli can cause migraines such as sounds, smells, visual stimuli, and foods.
