Why Do We Get Headaches and Migraines?

Headaches can be caused by a variety of things and it can be different for each person.  Common headache triggers include toxic fumes, physical or emotional stress, hormones, food, alcohol, bright light, high blood pressure, allergies and more. Dr. Brainard also knows that a frequently overlooked source of migraines and headaches is misaligned spinal bones of the neck, shoulder, and back.  When certain neck, shoulder, and backbones lose their correct position, blood vessels and nerves in the head can be affected, which causes the pain associated with migraines and headaches.

If you are having frequent headaches, it is definitely a sign that something is wrong and you should make an appointment with our Fremont chiropractor for further service and treatment.

Types of Headaches and Migraines Chiropractors Can Help

When you are feeling the pain associated with migraines or other types of headaches, you may not know much more than the fact that there is a throbbing ache and it won’t go away. There are, however, a variety of different types of headaches that you may be experiencing.  Tension headaches are the most common, however, there are others you should be aware of that chiropractors can help:   

• Cluster Headaches – When you can feel a headache behind your eyes, this is typically a cluster headache. Cluster headaches usually occur at night and are similar to migraines, but are not quite as intense. Like the name suggests, cluster headaches often happen from one to four times a day in clusters over the course of several days.  
• Tension Headaches – Tension headaches are most often caused by poor posture and whiplash from auto accidents. The extra stress on the spine and muscles surrounding the neck and the upper back area can be painful. Due to the incorrect positioning, muscle spasms occur that can make your head hurt.
• Migraine Headaches – Known as the most painful of all types of headaches, migraines have a reputation for providing intense pain which is often accompanied by sensitivity to light and noise, as well as a feeling of nausea. These headaches happen when the blood vessels in the brain constrict, then immediately dilate. The rapid increase in blood pressure causes intense pain that migraines create.  
• Vascular headaches feature intense throbbing. This type of headache includes migraine headaches as well as cluster headaches
• Vertebrogenic headaches are caused by issues with the neck and cause pain in the front, sides, and back of the head
