Learn How Norwalk CT Headache Sufferers Get Relief

By Clyde Banosia


Headaches are a frequent neurological condition that most everyone experiences at some point. They come in many forms, are caused by a variety of triggers, and have an extreme range of possible intensities. Natural relief may be found by visiting a Norwalk CT chiropractic clinic.

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.

Tension, or stress related headaches are among the most frequently occurring and though severe pain is typical, throbbing, vomiting an nausea are not. Subluxations of the upper spine which pinch nerves and inflame tissue are the main causes. The disruption in sensory communication and knotted tissue trigger episodes of dull aches that press on the ocular region or create a squeezing tightness in one's head.

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.

Chiropractors typically address such issues through the use of spinal adjustments or therapeutic massage therapy. Each patient's experience is unique so a complete evaluation will be conducted before any method is employed. Though significant relief may be felt immediately, regular sessions may be required to tend these chronic conditions.
