A Reliable Migraine Treatment
Millions of Americans have regular head pain that makes life worse. Many experience migraines so painful that normal daily tasks become difficult. Reliable treatment is difficult to find, and treatments often focus on symptoms rather than underlying causes of pain.
Relying on Medications to Stop Head Pain
The problem with relying on medications for headaches and migraines is that no causation issue is actually solved. Whatever caused your headache this time will most likely strike again, and you’ll have to take more medication.
It is important to realize that pain medication has side effects that can be unpleasant and dangerous. Of course pain medication has its place in modern medicine, but most medical professionals agree that consistent reliance on pain medication over the course of years is not a healthy lifestyle.
Imbalances
Modern research suggests that one cause of headaches and migraines may be unbalanced forces in your mouth that affect muscles in the head. In fact, it may be that chronic migraines, tinnitus, TMJ, jaw pain and regular tension headaches are all connected.
