Is There a Safe, Natural Headache Treatment for Post-Traumatic Headache?
Did you know that some headache symptoms don’t show up until a week after a traumatic head injury?
When this happens, it’s referred to as post-traumatic headache.
Why does it take so long for the headache to rear its ugly head? Is there a safe, natural headache treatment that can help reduce the severity of the pain?
What Causes Post-Traumatic Headaches and What Are the Symptoms?
Over time, the blood vessels in the head can constrict due to inflammation that progressively increases after an injury. A migraine- or tension-like headache can result. Or, the cause could be muscle tension that’s experienced after such an injury.
Symptoms of a traumatic headache include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Dizziness
- Pulsing pain
- Insomnia
- Sensitivity to light/sound
- Memory/concentration issues
- Depression/anxiety.
Why Chiropractic Is an Ideal Natural Headache Treatment
If you’re not a fan of pain medications, what pain management options do you have? Is there a natural headache treatment that can reduce your symptoms?
Thankfully, there is – chiropractic care.
Your Fresno chiropractor, Dr. Jaime Reyna, can recommend spinal adjustments to keep the spine in proper alignment, which reduces pain and inflammation.
Another recommendation might be physiotherapy, a form of treatment that includes massage, rehabilitative exercises, and postural alignment/correction. Such treatment will help you manage your pain and can, in some cases, even prevent it.
