4 types of headaches that respond well to chiropractic care


Do you suffer from headaches, or do you know someone who does? If you do, know that you are not alone. The head is actually one of the most common sites of pain in the body. Headaches can range from mild pain that comes and goes to constant intense pain that is so severe it affects your daily life. This article will discuss the different types of headaches that may occur and how you can treat them with the help of chiropractic treatment.


Types of headaches


Tension headaches

Tension headaches are the most common type of headache among adults and teens. They cause mild to moderate pain and come and go over time. They usually have no other symptoms.


Migraine headaches

Migraine headaches are often described as pounding and throbbing pain. They can last from about four hours to three days and usually occur around one to four times a month. Along with pain, people may have other symptoms, such as sensitivity to light, noise or smells, and even nausea or vomiting. 


Cluster headaches

These are unusual but painful types of headaches. These headaches develop when there is a nerve issue in the face. They are only on one-half of the face. On the impacted side of the face, you may notice twitching, sweating, and paralysis. Some people also complain that their eyes start to tear up and water. Your nose may also start to run, but only on that half of the face. This can be a confusing, stressful, and devastating headache, but it can be managed well with chiropractic care in Singapore.


Sinus headaches

With sinus headaches, you may feel a deep and constant pain in your cheekbones, forehead, or on the bridge of your nose. They happen when cavities in your head, called sinuses, get inflamed. The pain usually comes with other sinus symptoms, like a runny nose, fullness in the ears, fever, and a swollen face.

If you suffer from headaches, this can be a serious quality-of-life issue. Fortunately, this is not something you need to deal with on your own. One Spine Chiropractic Singapore can work with you personally to identify the root cause of your headache.

Then, our chiropractor will locate and identify subluxations (misalignments) of vertebrae using precise, specific, and targeted chiropractic adjustments. They can be treated using a chiropractic instrument, such as the Activator, or from a manual chiropractic adjustment delivered by the chiropractor’s hands.
