PHYSIOLOGY OF HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES
Headache, or Cephalgia, is defined as pain in the head that is not confined
to any one specific nerve distribution. This means that headaches can encompass a large area of the head and can affect many nerve areas simultaneously.

Generally, headaches can be divided into two basic groups, primary and secondary. Primary headaches are headaches that have no consistent organic cause. Secondary headaches are headaches that have an identifiable source and occur secondarily to other disease processes such as, being secondary to high blood pressure or to sinusitis.

Primary headaches can be further divided into three basic types. Most of us are familiar with 2 of them, they are Tension headaches, Migraine headaches and the third being Cluster headaches.

Tension headaches are of course, the most common. Many of us will suffer from this type of headache time to time.

Migraines, on the other hand, affect a smaller percentage of the population but tend to be far more debilitating and painful.

Lastly, Cluster headaches effect even fewer people but can have a profoundly more devastating effect that can last for days .


In general, primary headaches can be located anywhere in the head but most commonly occur in the forehead (frontal), the sides of the head (temporal) or at the base of the skull (occipital) region. They may be one-sided, two-sided or can occur all over the head.

Headaches can have an acute or chronic nature, with pain that varies in intensity from dull to sharp and in quality, with feelings of pressure, throbbing, stabbing, shooting, penetrating or driving pain. 

As many of you know, Headaches and Migraines have many other symptoms that often accompany pain including; nausea, dizziness and fatigue. But there are other symptoms that many people don't think of as being associated with Headaches and Migraines. Symptoms of back pain, neck pain, jaw pain (or TMJ) and even Fibromylagia all have strong links to Headaches and Migraines.

So many things can cause headaches.
Here's a list of some of the most common offenders:
- Stress

- Too little or even too much sleep

- Over eating or hunger

- Fatigue

- Alcohol

- Dehydration

- Hormonal imbalances

- Stuffy environments

- Noise

- Physical exertion

- Pain in other parts of the body 

- Changes in the weather,     barometric pressure and altitude
- Idiopathic: in other words, sometimes unknown causes
   

All headaches however, can be linked to one of two
physiological causes.

1. Increased muscle tension leading to nerve impingement
causes pain.

or

2. Edema, also known as, swelling of the blood vessels
of the head, causes a fluctuation in arterial size which
then leads to vascular inflammation and is ultimately
felt as pain.

It's clear that there are many products available now that treat headaches and migraines, but how can you know which ones really work and which are the right ones for your type of headache?

Did you know that headaches actually occur deep inside the brain but the pain is perceived in different areas of the head because the brain itself does not have sensory nerves to feel pain?

Actually, the thin membrane surrounding the brain called the meninges has small nerve fibers that give us the ability to perceive pain.

HEADACHE DIARY
A Headache Diary is used to record headaches and other symptoms as they occur to see if there is an overall pattern or habit that causes headaches to return.

"My migraines have decreased in intensity and duration from 3-4 days of severe pain a month, to one or two mild headaches per month. [...]The treatment plan is simple, easy to follow and very effective. It is so wonderful to have the cause of the pain treated, rather than just the pain itself."
