Pregnancy and headaches

Pregnancy and headaches

It is not uncommon for the pregnant woman to suffer from headaches or migraines.  Studies show that around 40% and 50% of pregnant women suffer from headaches and migraines respectively.   Unfortunately, research also show that postpartum these headaches can continue. The most common headaches during pregnancy are tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches, cluster headaches and migraines.  Luckily, chiropractors are trained to assess, diagnose, and treat headaches and migraines.  Evidence proves that chiropractic care can help decrease the intensity and frequency of headaches.     

The presentation or symptoms of the headache depend on the type of headache that you have.  Tension headaches often present as a band, affecting both sides of the head.  Cervicogenic headaches relate to the neck, but present with symptoms on one side in the head and face.  Cluster headaches tend to affect an eye and one side of the head, while migraines are associated with nausea, and light with one sided throbbing. 

Regardless of the type of headache, a common factor is that headaches typically are associated with neck or shoulder tenderness or pain and stress.  Chiropractic care is a proven, all-natural treatment for the neck, shoulder and stress; therefore, helping alleviate headaches at its very core. 

Chiropractors are trained professionals proficient in treating the neck and shoulder via manual adjustments, soft tissue work, physiotherapy, stretches and exercises.  Chiropractors also help improve the ever-changing posture of the pregnant and postpartum women, which has lasting effects in keeping neck, shoulder pain and headaches at bay since posture is directly affected by ones neck and shoulders.  Amazingly, most individuals with headaches often comment that receiving chiropractic treatment acts as a light switch: once treatment is received, the headache switches off.  

Stress is a common factor in all headaches including migraines.  Pregnancy is a stressful and taxing time both chemically, emotionally and physically.  It is no wonder that many headaches and migraines increase with each trimester.  Chiropractic treatment is a direct answer to reducing stress and thereby reducing headaches and migraines.  With each chiropractic treatment comes a release of seratonin or “happy chemicals”.  There simply is no place for stress cells to exist in such a space.  Chiropractic treatment also aids in promoting the parasympathetic nervous system of the body over the sympathetic nervous system.  The parasympathetic nervous system restores and keeps the body in a calm and relaxed state.  Thus, combating both tension in the head and shoulder muscles while reducing chemical stress throughout the body.  

Chiropractic care is a fundamental necessity for combating headaches especially in the pregnant woman.  Your Dorsi Spinal Institute Chiropractor will be able discuss your headache and migraine concerns along with providing other lifestyle recommendations to keep your stress levels down.  Types of exercise, foods and supplements, as well as how to improve sleep conditions during this time can be addressed.

How the Chiropractors @ Nottingham Chiropractors the “Dorsi Spinal Institute” Help People Who Suffer From Headaches

If you are among the 45 million Americans who suffer headaches regularly, you are undoubtedly familiar with the traditional methods that people use to treat them, including taking some type of over the counter medication that is supposed to eliminate the pain and reduce any associated swelling. There are many other types of treatment that you may have attempted as well, including taking pharmaceutical concoctions designed to treat pain. However, none of these solutions provide permanent relief that addresses the problem at the core.

In the past few decades, there have been an increasing number of patients throughout the country that have begun to seek alternative forms of therapy for all types of conditions, including headaches. One form of treatment that is very promising for physical as well as other types of pain is manual therapy such as chiropractic.

These forms of alternative care has been used successfully for over a hundred years and has become a regular part of the American healthcare delivery system. In fact, there are an increasing number of insurance providers that are willing to pay for chiropractic because of their effectiveness.

When a person goes to school to learn about chiropractic, they begin by studying the human anatomy in great detail, just like other medical professionals. However, in addition to looking at how all of the parts work together physically, their training primarily revolves around the diagnosis and treatment of conditions of the spine.

On the first visit to Nottingham Chiropractic clinic the Dorsi Spinal Institute, a review of previous health issues will be completed to determine what types of problem may be occurring. They will listen to the patient attentively and make an assessment, including determining what types of treatment will best suit the patient.

In the case of headaches, the patient usually has misalignment in the cervical spine (Neck). This may be accompanied by muscles that are unduly tight in the neck, shoulders and nearby areas. Pressure on the nerves may cause sharp stabbing pains or there may be a continual dull throb in the region. Severe pain which also radiates down your arm can be coming from a herniated disc pressing on a nerve, but do not worry, Nottingham Chiropractic is Nottingham’s premier clinic specialising in herniated disc conditions.

The chiropractor will assess the area and then move forward with treatment in order to relieve the pressure and pain. The relief usually occurs within a few sessions, with progress the more you continue with your recommended care programme.

However, we don’t just focus on relieving symptoms but rather correcting the problem; therefore, additional treatments will follow to help correct the cause. In addition, the practitioner will take the time to educate you on the importance of looking after your body.

If you need further help with your headaches or are ready to see how beneficial treatment @ Nottingham Chiropractic clinic the Dorsi Spinal Institute can be to your overall health, please give us a call so that you can schedule an appointment with one of our team.

Our principal Chiropractor Dr Matthew ABJ Potts has over 20 year experience in healthcare and has developed the unique Dorsi Method that has a waiting list for other practitioners to learn.

[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="We Focus on You" open="no"]

Rather than treating everyone the same, our goal is to find the cause of your problems and really understand WHY they have happened. Your treatment plan will be unique to you. The hands-on treatment you receive will be provided by the Chiropractor or Osteopath and a qualified sports therapist. The Chiropractor or Osteopath will take overall responsibility for your care and provide any recommendations plus the spinal manipulation component of your care. Your sports therapist will work on the soft tissues by providing deep tissue massage, traction or stretching and will take care of your rehabilitation: your homework (if necessary.)

[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="State of the Art Facilities" open="no"]

The clinic offers a state of the art diagnostic suite including Colour Ultra HD and 3D diagnostic ultrasound and a GE Direct Digital X-ray system due to be installed in early 2019. We also use the latest posture scanners using Infra-red imaging to build a photo-realistic postural avatar of your body. From this scan we can assess your posture, show you where your body is dysfunctional, identifying potential causes for the condition to relapse and most importantly, we re-assess you at regular intervals during your treatment plan without any additional radiation.

Our treatment protocols are ultra specific to your body and may include traction sessions stretching your spine in the exact opposite (Mirror-Image) to its usual incorrect position. You will have a personalised rehabilitation plan designed by our Masters Degree Level trained Rehab Consultant.
