Excerpt from Dr. Karin Drummond's book:
"Combat Headaches"
Headaches are often difficult to treat because there is usually more than one culprit. You may be treating one cause, yet you may then get a headache resulting from something completely different. This complexity demonstrates why you need to have a team of healthcare professionals on your side, helping you get to the root cause of your head pain instead of masking symptoms with pain medication.
How to determine what type of headache you are suffering from?
Dr. Karin Drummond's Personal Thoughts on Headaches
I have read literature written by various medical doctors and neurosurgeons who have different opinions on the causes and treatments of headaches. Some even suggest all headaches are simply different expressions of a migraine, which is a swelling of the blood vessels of the brain caused by different triggers.
I believe they came to this conclusion because they see headache patients whose treatments failed them because they had migraine headaches that mimicked other types of headaches.
These patients likely were misdiagnosed because they did not have the classic migraine (in which the temporal artery is inflamed, causing one-sided head pain). Instead, the patients were misdiagnosed as having sinus, tension, or other types of headaches. Migraines can mimic these types of head pains if the inflammation is in a blood vessel other than the temporal artery.
This doesn’t mean that there aren’t other types of headaches. I personally have diagnosed a plethora of different headaches and have treated each according to the type of headache. I have successfully treated all but a few. The patients who continued to have headaches were not able or willing to make the lifestyle changes necessary to cure their headaches. Some patients just need to tweak their lifestyle, while others have to make major adjustments to their lifestyle as well as their career.
Regardless of the type of headache you suffer from, chiropractic care, eating well, stretching well, exercising throughout the day, and sleeping well will cure you. Healthy habits help you deal with the daily stressors outside of your control, lessening the degree to which affect you.
But the question is, what eating habits, what stretches and exercises, and what amount of sleep will be best for your specific type of headache? I address all of these topics here and in my book, Combat Headaches.

A DIET TO DECREASE HEADACHE TRIGGERS
MANY HEADACHES (and some types of dizziness) are triggered when you eat certain foods. In some cases, you may have a food sensitivity; in other situations, the headache may be triggered by chemicals added to food (preservatives, flavorings, etc.). You may also experience headaches because of seasonal allergies. Or nutritional deficiencies. Click below for my advice on surprising headache triggers and headache helpers.

PRACTICING GOOD SLEEP HABITS
SLEEP DEPRIVATION CAN BE a trigger for headaches. For optimal health, make sure to get at least eight hours of sleep every night. Studies have suggested that to be healthy, people should get seven to nine hours of sleep a night. |
If you get less than six hours of sleep, you are at a high risk of cancer and early death from disease. Sleep deprivation also makes you vulnerable, and if you tend to get headaches, sleep deprivation will increase your vulnerability to your headache triggers.
