Posted on 2009-04-08 16:13:18
15,000,000 Americans are victims of recurring headaches that strike without warning… striking hard and fast … and over and over.
These chronic sufferers spend $300 million dollars each year for remedies that give only temporary relief. The tension headache and the migraine headaches are the two major types of chronic headaches of which the migraine is most common. Also called vascular headache, migraine syndrome, or sick headaches.
The migraines most notable feature is that pain usually starts on one side the head, possibly spreading to the entire head as pain develops. Nausea, irritability and sensitiveness to bright light, vomiting, constipation or diarrhea, are other symptoms of the migraine syndrome. Some victims experience the throbbing migraine pain anywhere in the head (including the face and neck), but usually the migraine headache is felt as a severe, throbbing pain in the temples.
The pre-headaches phenomena is probably the most frightening aspect of the migraine headache. The sufferer soon learns when an attack is on it way and are terrified of it striking. The second phase is the pre-headache phenomena consist of spots before the eyes, dimming vision which affects 50% of the visual field. Some symptoms of the migraine equivalents which include varied abdominal pains, chest pains, and pain in the arms and legs. Other symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, fever, swelling in various parts of the body and rapid mood changes.
The long range effects shown in a study of migraine headaches indicate a general disintegration of the victim’s personality.
What Should be Done?
Don’t wait consult a Chiropractor, me. For the past 65 years migraine victims have been helped by chiropractors. Researchers in the chiropractic field have developed special nerve tests to determine the precise point in the neck at which the arteries and nerves are being blocked. X-ray machines, particularly adapted to take unique X-ray views that will pin point the location of the misalignment. It has been proven conclusively by thousands of X-rays that the migraine headache develops when one or more of the tiny neck bones are misaligned or forced out of normal position.
