THE TOP 3 CAUSES OF HEADACHES



Bottom Line:
A variety of factors can cause headaches. The good news is that many of these are lifestyle factors and habits and patterns that you can control. By understanding a few of the most common causes of headaches, you will have the information you need to make those key changes and to get on your way to finding lasting relief!

Ironically, one of the most common causes of headaches is over medicating. In fact, overuse of many over the counter medications is a leading factor in a rebound headache, which is why pills may not be the best option for care. Many tension headaches get their start with repetitive motion and poor posture while sitting or standing at work or performing repetitive motions. Keeping your shoulders back and your spine in proper alignment throughout the day can help prevent future episodes. And finally, most of the good stuff like coffee, cheese, alcohol and meats have substances that can cause headaches. You don't need to eliminate them, but we recommend having a watchful eye towards moderation.

How Can We Help?
Do you see anything in that top 3 list that may be contributing to your headaches? Taking proactive steps by improving your posture and ergonomics at work, moderating the foods which cause headaches, or asking your medical doctor about the side effects of medications and potentially finding alternative treatment options may help you reduce the frequency, severity, and impact headaches are having in your life. Here at the AMI Clinic in Bedford we often see and treat patients who suffer from frequent headaches, by tailoring a care plan we are able to look at potential triggers whilst addressing the possible causes; we have a great success rate at reducing the frequency and intensity of these common headaches.
