Headaches Salem Oregon Chiropractor offers a unique look at headaches and how to reduce them naturally. HEADACHES A common problem: headaches. I say common but it is certainly not normal. People have actually said to me: “you mean headaches aren’t normal? I get them all the time; I don’t know what its like to not have one.” There are actually people who don’t get them. A headache can have many causes. Think about why the head hurts. Is it because of a drug? This is a common problem. A drug, supposed to be doing something else, is causing the blood vessels to constrict and then dilate and this causes a “pounding” inside your head. Look at the side effects of the drugs you are taking and see if one of them is a headache. (This includes coffee or the lack of!) Another cause of may be nutritional. Your brain and nervous system are first priority in getting nutrition. No other system in the body has higher priority. The first things you eat in the day go right to your brain. If it’s junk your brain may be starving and just trying to get nutrition somewhere. Where is supposed to get it? Changing your diet may be a simple thing but once you get the appropriate nutrition your brain (head) won’t have to give you a symptom like a headache any longer. Closely related to nutrition is what you may be eating that is causing your body to respond with a headache. An allergen such as gluten may be just enough stimulation that you constantly react to it and your body produces a headache as a reaction. Have you ever responded with a headache when someone walks by with a powerful scent? Like it about knocks you over? Think about the chemicals traveling through your nostrils right up to your brain. The sense of smell, olfactory, is the only one that goes right into your brain without having to connect anywhere else. Smell is one of the most powerful neurological applications there is. That is why we use it in our wellness adjustment—it literally reprograms the brain. But the wrong kind of scent can cause a great reaction. One other very common cause of headaches is a “pinch” of a nerve in the neck or head. Imagine you sleep with your head lying crooked on a pillow, or a quick turn of your neck, or a slip of your foot and misstep jarring your head. Your nerves are delicate and can become irritated. This is so common that everyone of us have had one of these pinches going on and a symptom of a headache. If the pinch is not fixed guess what…it just gets worse…the pinch and the problems associated with it: loss of neck motion, further interference to the nerve which, if you trace it, will cause organ/gland endpoint damage. Nerves innervate the body unless they’re interfered with. This is the magic of chiropractic—taking the pressure off the nerves, reducing the interference and allowing the body to return to normal. This is the real normal! Can you see that taking a pill for a headache is not wise? Sure, short-term you can do this and get away with it. But you’re heading for trouble if you have to continue taking a pill to reduce your headache—you have problems that your body is trying to tell you. Now, what’s really causing your headaches? It may be one or more of these I’ve listed. It may be even something else. Bottom line is you best find out the cause and get the cause fixed. Not only will your headaches go away but the rest of your body will be better as well.
