Headaches Treatment Cambridge

Headaches are a common disorder associated with stress and anxiety and can range from mild to severe. There may be several reasons for a headache to develop and it is useful to explore these possibilities. Primary causes include stress and tension, fear, anxiety, lack of self-esteem, allergies, muscle spasms, postural problems and injury to the head or neck.

The body always has a reason for doing what it does and a headache means your body is trying to tell you something; maybe a change of diet or lifestyle is needed or maybe it just needs more time out to cope with the demands being asked of it.

Different therapies offer different approaches for the effective treatment of headaches:

Osteopathy and Chiropractic will look at the mechanics of the head and spine helping to improve the mobility and functioning of the joints and their associated muscles.
Acupuncture will aim to increase energy flow through the meridians of the body.
Homeopathy provides remedies that can alleviate certain types of headache.
Hypnotherapy can help you understand the cause of your headache giving you a better idea of how to treat it.

Severe persistent headaches (especially if accompanied by nausea, vomiting, altered vision, a stiff neck, a fever or sensitivity to bright light) must always be checked by a doctor.

You are more likely to get hay fever if there is a history of allergies in your family, particularly asthma or eczema. Hay fever usually begins in the early teens and peaks when you’re in your twenties. Research shows that many people become less sensitive to pollen as they get older and by the time you reach your mid-forties, hay fever may no longer be a problem.
