Headache & Migraine Relief in New Port Richey
Pounding pain. A feeling of a tight band around the head. Pain on one side of the head. These are all symptoms of headaches; discomfort can range from mildly bothersome to severely debilitating. A migraine is more than a severe headache. It can cause throbbing, one-sided head pain that can leave sufferers bedridden for days. It’s estimated that one in six Americans suffer from headaches and migraines over a three-month period.

How Do Headaches and Migraines Differ?
Let’s look at some of the primary differences between headaches and migraines. Headaches stem from increased pressure in the skull. This pressure is due to muscles in the neck being so tight that more blood flows into the brain than out of the brain. Unfortunately, headaches peak in different skull areas, depending entirely on the affected musculature.
While headaches are a dull, persistent ache in the skull, migraines are more serious in nature. This is because they result from incorrect rotation of the C2 vertebra. When the C2 vertebra isn’t rotating as it should, it sends a signal to the brain that leads to a variety of symptoms, such as:
- Headache-like pain
- Nausea
- Blurred vision
- Fatigue
- Increased sensitivity to light and sound
- Mood changes
