| What Kind of Headache? |
|
Headaches are the #1 reason consumers use over the counter drugs! Almost all people experience a headache at some time in their lives. One study estimates that over 50 million people in the US suffer from Headaches! Although most headaches do not indicate serious illness, they are a major cause of suffering and missed worked, and rank as one of the most common reasons people consult a doctor. The International Headaches Society has actually classified 129 different types of headaches! The most common headaches come from the muscles (muscle tension), blood vessels (migraines), joints (from the neck, called cervicogenic), or systemic conditions (such as with fevers or low blood sugar). Chiropractors have had considerable success in relieving the cause of headache pain. If you suffer from headaches, you owe it to yourself and your family to have them evaluated for their cause. The only thing you have to lose is your pain! Source:1. Evaluation of the patient with non-traumatic headache: an evidence based approach. Adam G. Field, MD, Ernest Wang, MD.
