At the Head Pain Institute, we employ cutting edge techniques to ensure that headaches and migraines become a thing of the past. Live life as you were meant to with Head Pain Institute’s pain management services.
Common Causes of Headaches and Migraines
Migraines are severe and recurring headaches that present a variety of symptoms. People suffering from migraines may experience throbbing pain that is accompanied by extreme sensitivity to light. Some victims of migraines also experience vomiting as well as nausea. Migraines can last anywhere between several hours to days and can have a debilitating effect on the patient’s life. One of the common signs of a migraine is an aura or flashes of light that occur just before the headaches start. In severe cases, patients can have difficulties talking and a migraine headache typically seems to emanate from one side of the head.
It is not clear what causes migraines, but researchers suspect that it may have something to do with neurotransmitters in the body malfunctioning or chemical imbalances in the body as well as problems with blood vessels. Non-migraine headaches are caused by many factors including stress, fatigue, and much more. Understanding the cause of your headaches and migraines is the first step toward getting relief.
Areas of Expertise in Treating Headaches and Migraines
Research suggests that neck and head pain often lead to headaches. For this reason, our experts have had significant success in helping patients manage headaches and migraines through treating neck and facial pain. Some of the causes of such neck and head pain include TMJ disorders and more. Our approach to managing such pain is significantly better than traditional approaches that primarily rely on painkillers and other pharmaceuticals to control such problems. There is a danger that such medications could lead to addiction problems which further compound the patient’s problems. The other advantage of our approach is that we deal with the root cause of the problem rather than managing the symptoms (pain in this case) through painkillers.
A good example is our cold laser treatment where light photons are used to penetrate the deep tissue in the TMJ area. This in turn helps heal TMJ disorders as the laser reduces inflammation in the affected area by stimulating the production of more red blood cells in the body.
