Types of Headaches based on location

When a person tells me they have headaches the first thing I want to know is what part of the head do the headaches seem to affect?

Is it the front of the head, the back of the head, the side of the head, or the whole head?
The reason is because different areas have a different cause.

Frontal headaches

Usually can be from eye strain or being dehydrated.

Headaches in back of the head

Typically can start from problems in the neck.

Side of the head

Headaches here associated with the jaw. The four muscles that move the jaw attach to the skull. Clenching can affect the individual bones of the skull causing headache.

We can test them using muscle testing. In the chiropractic world, we call this technique Applied Kinesiology.

Headaches are not caused by Tylenol deficiency

If you are suffering from chronic headaches it would be worth your while to get checked out to see what might be causing them. Taking medication just to cover them up is not going to solve it and in the long run it takes a toll on your liver and kidneys.

Testimonial

This patient was having have terrible headaches for over twenty years and had been to many doctors for them including chiropractors!  But no one ever bothered to check her jaw. They all wrongly assumed it was her neck or some other issue.

With Applied Kinesiology we found it was her jaw.

Long story short, within one week she was almost totally headache free because we had addressed the true cause of her suffering. Check out her video here
