Bakersfield CA, 12-DECEMBER-2013 – The Headache, Neck and Back Pain Relief Center and Bakersfield CA chiropractor, Dr. Douglas Brooks, D. C., are pleased to announce that chiropractic measures can help to relieve the pain and related symptoms of tension headaches. This type of headache pain is one of the most common found and the typical course of care by a medical doctor is to prescribe over-the-counter or prescription pain medication.
According to Dr. Douglas Brooks, Bakersfield CA chiropractor, "Tension headaches are characterized by a dull aching pain in the forehead or on the back and sides of the head. The sensation of increasing pressure in the area and tenderness of the scalp shoulder and neck muscles is common. This type of headache can be episodic or chronic."
He continues, "Each consultation with a patient begins with a thorough examination. We look at any physical symptoms according to the patient history. Where appropriate, there may be digital imaging or a physical examination. An exploration of the medical history may shed light on the severity, frequency and duration of headaches. These findings are discussed with the patient and a flexible therapy plan is defined."
Therapy for tension headaches is varied. It is usually based on the premise that pain of this sort can be relieved by removing underlying causes. Stress relieving exercises and refocusing may help most patients. Others can obtain relief by abstaining from certain kinds of foods or avoiding environmental causes. Stress relief through massage is another popular method of relieving headache pain.
