Headaches

Ponca City Oklahoma Chiropractor Dr. Leon Bristow talks about headaches. There are many different types, migraines, tension, allergy, cluster, and others. With the exception of allergy, most have two common problems that are often the main cause for the head pain. One problem is the nerves are being irritated or injured in some manner that causes pain in the head. The second problem is that the muscles and tissues of the head and neck are damage, injured or in trouble in some manner also resulting in head pain. Often these two problems are combined to create pain and discomfort that the person experiences in their head. If left untreated these problems will cause the pain to return on a frequent basis. Pain in the head can be a severe problem that if it reoccurs on a frequent basis it can be debilitating as well. Most people turn to pain meds to try to manage or control the pain. Often these drugs can lead to other problems and are disabling or incapacitating to the individual causing them to be unable to function properly.

Labels often do not tell you what is causing the pain in the head. Only a through examination by one trained to look for and treat these structural problems will revel if they are the cause of the headache. Often these problems go over looked by people who are not trained to treat these specific problems. Regardless of the label you may have for your head pain a very large percentage of people have one or both of these problems causing the pain in their head. If these problems are not detected and properly treated then the head pain will likely continue to return over and over no mater what drugs are used. If you would like to find out if this could be the source of your pain please call to schedule an examination. These problems are normally correctable with proper care. Call 580-762-7634.
