Headaches & Head Pain in Snohomish

Headaches can range in severity, frequency, length, and type. Unfortunately then can even be unpredictable. In fact, they can “kick in” at the worst possible times. Sadly they can cause you to miss out on work, family, and fun. Since there are so many different types and causes, addressing the cause can be difficult. But when you have to work, cook, clean and help your kids with their homework, you’ll reach for anything. Even harmful over-the-counter drugs. But these drugs only help you feel better. They don’t actually fix the problem.

Suffering from a headache in Snohomish

Headaches are one of the biggest reasons Americans like you turn to medication. According to the CDC, more than 36 million Americans suffer from headaches. In fact, we spend over $4 billion each year on over-the-counter medication to treat headaches. However, medication only provides symptom relief. Unfortunately, modern medicine does not have an answer to headaches beyond that. In fact, many even fail to realize there are many types of headaches. There are even two different types of migraines. And by the way, we have a whole other section related to migraines. Unfortunately, most people are unaware of the serious dangers of the popular over-the-counter meds, which are ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and aspirin. In fact, they can cause fatal kidney failure, fatal liver failure, and stomach ulcers or ruptures. Lastly, here is a list of common types of headaches our Drs at Snohomish Chiropractic & Nutrition in Snohomish can treat:

Acute Headache
Chronic Headache
Cluster Headache
Migraine Headache (common and classic)
Mixed Headache
Premenstrual and Menstrual Headache
Sinus Headache
Tension Headache
Traumatic Headache

Of course, headaches have a multitude of causes. These causes range from illness, too much water, not enough water, caffeine withdrawal, certain foods, lack of certain foods, caffeine, medications, allergies, and stress. And yes, all three forms of stress can cause headaches. This includes emotional, physical, and nutritional stress. Some headaches are caused by changes in blood flow to the brain. Furthermore, the cause can be either too much or too little blood flow.

Our Approach

Rather than dealing with symptoms, we strive to bring your body back into balance. Because treating symptoms only gives you temporary help. In fact our approach targets emotional, physical, and chemical balance. Often times a combined approach of enzyme nutrition, dietary changes, and the right specific chiropractic care are the key. And while I don’t diagnose or treat any disease (including headaches of any kind), I can help your body work properly.

In fact, this can range from processing foods right to supporting healthy blood flow to the brain. We can also help support the healthy stress response, support healthy immune function, and help your body retain the right amount of water. We can even provide valuable advice regarding the right amount of water and diet specifically for you. And of course, if your body is working the way it’s supposed to, your chances of suffering from headaches go way down. I provide this support with a specific plan. And this plan usually includes specific chiropractic care, custom dietary changes, and the correct enzyme supplements. Of course, I only make recommendations after scientific testing based on sound medical principles.
