Headaches Have a Neck Component
Ask a athelete who has chronic headaches-any kind of headache-from
migraines, tension, muscular, to cluster headaches-they will
inevitably say that either before, during, or after the headache
they experienced neck pain. What most athletes do not realize
is that the ligaments in the neck refer pain to the head.
This is the reason why most headaches have a neck component.
Prolotherapy eliminates the neck trigger points for the headaches by stimulating
the ligaments to heal. Many athletes ask whether allergies and hormone problems
can also cause headaches. These most definitely can play a role, but once the
neck component is eliminated, it is much more difficult for a person to get a
headache even if they have allergies or hormonal problems. If the headaches do
recur they are less frequent and of less severity. To totally eliminate the headaches
in this situation, food allergy testing and hormone analysis would be performed.
Often eliminating certain foods, taking some nutritional supplements such as
stinging nettles, omega-3 fatty acids, and natural hormone replacements (or herbals
to accomplish similar responses), will take care of the rest of the headache
problem.
