Chiropractor and Headache Book Author Reveals Headache Relief Tips
Dr. Barry Marks, Chiropractor in Orange County, CA since 1986 is also the author of “5 Common Causes of Headaches… 3 Steps to Relief.”
Dr. Marks says occasional pain in the head is common and may respond to home remedies such as:
- Get Rest: Lack of sleep and fatigue are common causes of headaches
- Drink Water: Keeping hydrated helps prevent headaches
- Massage: Releasing tension in the neck and upper back muscles can help
- Heat and cold: Applying heat followed by ice can stop a tension headache
- Improve Posture: Chronic poor posture especially in the neck and upper back is a major cause of headaches
- Pain Relievers: Occasional use of over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil), or aspirin can ease a headache
More Than an Occasional Headache is Not Normal
Dr. Marks reminds that if you have headaches weekly or even monthly on a recurring basis, there is an underlying health problem that needs to to be addressed.
If you find yourself often needing to do the home headache remedies outlined above, you need to be examined. You should be checked for:
- High blood pressure
- Overweight
- Poor neck posture
- Dehydration
- Hormone imbalances
- Excess stress
Dr. Marks’ Headache Severity Evaluation
A careful assessment of your headaches can help find the solution you’ve been missing:
- Headache Severity Questionnaire
- Blood pressure check
- Physical exam of the head and neck
- X-rays of the neck to uncover hidden defects and postural problems that could be the source of your headaches
This information is gathered then a Report of Findings is given so you can see where your headaches are coming from and different options on how to address the issue.
