Headache --- Why you have it ... How to get rid of it
Headache is one of the most common pains in the world today… at least in the USA.
It steals from you… enjoyment… productivity… family time… you
name it, headache is a thief.
But you can fight back!
You can win out over
headache when you know what causes it and how to get rid of it.
This short report will outline a few things that you can do that
really work.
First, let’s get rid of the headache you already have. (Since you
opened this link, I can pretty well assume that you have one or are
researching for someone else close to you.) There are things you can
do to help yourself, but many headaches do require outside help to
resolve.
Most of what you are about to read you can do for yourself. The best
thing you can do is not get a headache in the first place, but we’ll
address that a bit later. First things first.
To start, let’s get a couple of myths out of the way:
1. Headache is NOT the result of an aspirin deficiency.
Millions of people take aspirin or other over-the-counter pills to
get rid of headache. Sometimes they feel better. But does that
really “get rid of it”? Or does it just suppress the pain…
block the nerve signal so you can’t feel it? It’s great that
you feel better, but… Is aspirin (or other drug) a cure… or a
cover-up?
2. Headache pain does not necessarily mean a problem in your head.
Many times it comes from another part of your body and refers pain
to your head. For example: A low back condition can “pass the
buck” up your spine to the very top vertebra, where there is no
place to go. The pain then affects your head.
Let’s Explore What Causes Headaches and What to do about it…
I’ll let you in on the secrets that many doctors won’t tell you,
or maybe don’t know.
Commonly-known causes of primary headache include:
Tension – When you are under stress, your body tenses up
and you wind up with a headache. Relief can be as simple as a long
weekend away from it all. Leave the cell phone home!
Toxins – Another common cause, especially in the city. Air
pollution, processed food, make-up, all contribute. Your body can
get rid of a lot of it, but can also be overwhelmed. As toxins
build, pain results – headache, backache… fatigue
and malaise… This can be handled often by cleaning out your insides
– knock off the junk food, sugar, etc., quit smoking and/or avoid
those who do. Eat out of the produce department, not the
prepared-foods aisle. Drink plenty of water. Don’t give up. You are
undoing years of “stuff”. Give your body time to clean itself.
Injuries to your head should be obvious. You need a neurologist.
Stop reading and call now.
But what about injuries to your neck… whiplash, for instance? When
the muscles in your neck are tight as violin strings, they pull on
your head where their top ends attach, and trigger pain in your
head. As the injury ages with improper healing,
the pain becomes dull and chronic and
may affect you only when under noticeable stress. You blame the
recent stress, but it is only a trigger, not the underlying cause.
Headaches can also be secondary to other conditions such as a common
cold, pneumonia, the flu, or various infections or tumors. We will
confine ourselves here to primary causes.
A surprisingly common and yet hardly thought-of cause of
headache:
A special type of tension headache: We think of tension coming
from work, the boss, the commute, the economy, your everyday killer
stress. While this is true, there is more to it.
There is another kind called cervicogenic headache.
Cervicogenic headaches are caused by vertebrae in your cervical
spine – your neck – jamming together so that they don’t move well,
or at all. Stress – the kind most of us experience every day – makes
the ligaments in your neck shorten by a small fraction of a
millimeter. Such a small change shouldn’t be harmful, right?
WRONG! The structures in your neck are packed so tightly, they have
precious little wiggle room for such seemingly minor injuries. When
they cannot move through their full range of motion, they irritate
everything around them. It is like having a tiny wire brush in the
area scrubbing away on the muscles, blood vessels, and (most
delicate of all) the nerve roots.
When nerve roots become irritated, they also become inflamed. Like
having a thorn under your fingernail and not removing it, the area
becomes red and swollen.
Just as water in your computer will cause malfunction, inflamed
nerves cannot carry the sensitive signals they are supposed to.
