Medications

Over-the-counter remedies that may reduce headache pain include aspirin, acetaminophen and ibuprofen. Prescription medications might include anti-nausea/vomiting, antihistamines, triptans, Gabapentin and botulinum toxin injections. Other prescription medications used are beta blockers, calcium channel blockers and anticonvulsants.

Be careful not to overmedicate as there are many side effects. Also there is a chance of rebound headaches from the medications. Over time the medications may decrease their effectiveness.

Lifestyle Changes

                      • Exercise – A regular light to moderate exercise routine
                      • Hydration – Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day
                      • Avoid foods that trigger headaches
                      • Get plenty of sleep
                      • Relaxation therapy – deep breathing and meditation

Stress can cause your Headache

Stress is a major cause of headaches for many in Orange County. We have a reliable method to quickly decrease stress.  ChiroActive Therapy also includes Pilates Exercise with Chiropractic to improve your posture. Acupressure and stretching help improve circulation and decrease stress.

Types of Headaches

There are three major types of headaches – tension, sinus and migraine headaches. These are the most common types of headaches that we see in our practice.  There are 3 areas to consider with any headache. First, stress is a major factor for all headaches. Second, muscle tension, nerve irritation and spinal alignment are major contributors to headaches.  Third, allergies and sinus conditions can also be a cause for headaches. Headaches are also associated with nausea, vertigo, and some sleep disorders.

Avoid Rebound Headaches

You can start implementing lifestyle changes and treatments like chiropractic, acupuncture, physical therapy and biofeedback to help manage your pain. Do NOT to stop your medications when you start other treatments. It takes time for these strategies to make you better. As you get better, you can work with your prescriber to gradually decrease your dosage.
