Headaches and Migraines
Stop living with headaches and migraines.
There are many different types of headaches with each having their own set of symptoms and causes. The most common are:
- Tension Headache – most common for adults and teens. Known to cause mild to moderate pain.
- Migraines – symptoms ranging from intense pain, vision issues, nausea, vomiting, and more. Typically lasting from four hours to three days. Having many different levels.
- Sinus Headache – continuous pain in the cheekbones, four head, and/or bridge of nose, along with other symptoms.
- Cluster Headache – causing pain behind or around the eyes along with other symptoms. A cluster period may last two weeks to three months and happens a few times each day.
Unusual brain activity caused by different types of triggers is believed to be the reason for headaches to occur. These triggers often come from stress, illness, environmental, hereditary, depression, alcohol, or too much physical activity.
Headaches have been effectively treated through massage therapy for years and can be prevented from occurring when massage is performed on a regular basis. Here is why: when a headache occurs the level of certain chemical messengers, such as serotonin, is lowered in the brain, causing trouble for the nerve cells to send out or receive signals. (Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is secreted in the brain by specialized neurons).
Massage therapy releases the serotonin for the body, raising its level which promotes many helpful things to happen, including the relief of headaches. With this knowledge there are many people who now receive regular massage therapy sessions and are no longer controlled by their headaches. Massage is not a luxury, just because it feels good. It’s an essential part of your health and quality of life. Reach out for your relief now and stop the pain.
