Headaches can happen for many different reasons. Stress, fatigue, TMJ, and posture-related neck strain are all leading reasons for headaches today. Tension headaches may happen for an obvious reason, but migraine headaches may not have a clearly identifiable cause. In some cases, headache sufferers can identify certain headache triggers. If patients make an effort to gather as much information as possible about their headaches, it can help the chiropractic care provider in creating an effective treatment plan. Headache sufferers should always note the time of day, the atmospheric conditions, and their physical location when a headache begins. It is also helpful to note any unusual activity that may have occurred just prior to the headache. Headache sufferers should also let the chiropractor know about any medications that they're currently taking, as this can be a potential cause of the headaches.
