What are Headaches/Migraines?
Headaches and migraines are prevalent neurological disorders that affect millions of individuals worldwide. Headaches can vary in type, including tension-type headaches, cluster headaches, and migraines. While headaches often result from muscle tension, stress, or environmental factors, migraines are more complex and can be triggered by hormonal changes, certain foods, and sensory stimuli. Migraines typically involve intense, pulsing pain on one side of the head, often accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light and sound.
At The Spine Institute of New Jersey, we treat headaches and migraines through non-invasive methods. If you’re seeking relief from headaches or migraines, contact us to schedule your consultation and discover effective treatment options.
Common Symptoms of Headaches/Migraines
Common symptoms of headaches and migraines include throbbing or pulsing pain, often localized to one side of the head. Migraines may also cause sensitivity to light, sound, and smells, as well as nausea and vomiting. Some individuals experience visual disturbances, such as flashing lights or blind spots, known as aura, before the onset of a migraine. Other common symptoms include fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating, which can persist during or after the headache or migraine episode.
Risk Factors of Headaches/Migraines
Risk factors for headaches and migraines include genetics, as a family history of migraines increases the likelihood of developing them. Hormonal changes, particularly in women, can also trigger migraines, especially during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause. Other risk factors include high levels of stress, poor sleep patterns, and certain dietary triggers like caffeine, alcohol, or processed foods. Environmental factors, such as strong lights, loud noises, or strong odors, can also increase the risk of experiencing headaches or migraines.
Recovery Time from Headaches/Migraines
Recovery time from headaches and migraines can vary based on the severity and frequency of episodes. While some migraines may last a few hours, others can persist for days. With proper treatment and lifestyle adjustments, such as stress management and identifying triggers, patients can reduce the frequency and duration of attacks.
