How Norwalk CT Headache Sufferers Get Relief Naturally

By Clyde Banosia


During a lifetime, practically every individual experiences the common neurological condition of headaches. Their intensity varies, manifestations are diversified and they can be triggered by numerous stimuli. To get natural relief, many people choose to visit a Norwalk CT chiropractic doctor.

This common malady manifests in many ways and the experience is different for every individual. The pain might be a dull ache, sharp stabs, or even pounding pulses and last anywhere from an hour to several days. Depending on circumstances, the discomfort can appear just behind the eyes, in a specific portion of the brain, in the sinuses or feel like it is fully encompassing the entire head.

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.
