Perth Chiropractor Hillarys - Tips That May Help Reduce Headaches

Ever have a headache so bad you thought your head would explode? You feel sick, have nausea and dizziness, intense neck and head pain, and even feel disoriented. You are not alone. Millions of people suffer from debilitating headaches each day, some from migraines others cluster, but most due to tension from stress. Perth chiropractor Stacey Burke has offered headache relief for thousands of people who have been suffering for years.   

If you have no significant health issues, then there are 5 things you can use to reduce the discomfort and pain associated with headaches and make your life more enjoyable. 

My first suggestion for reducing headaches will even save you money.  I always recommend to my Chiropractic patients to reduce their caffeine intake.  Coffee is usually the main culprit, but many times soft drinks, teas, energy drinks, and even "indulgence" foods like chocolate can be a huge contributor to your headaches.  By reducing the intake of caffeinated products, and replacing them with clean water, you can take a major step forward in reducing the intensity, duration, and frequency of your headaches. 

Another suggestion is to stop smoking, which is putting chemical stress into your body.  While the main culprit of cigarette smoking is nicotine, there are many other sources of nicotine to consider. Chewing tobacco, cigars, cigarettes and even second-hand smoke  can be a significant contributor to your headaches. Reducing exposure to nicotine will affect many area’s of your health. 

Third tip is easy and something our parents preached to us as young kids.  Remember when your parents wished you a good night's sleep? They were teaching you something valuable!  A good night's sleep, full of uninterrupted deep rest, goes a long way in reducing the duration and intensity of your headaches.  It also helps with your immune system and overall health. When you sleep your body can repair and regenerate itself. Meditation and listening to calm music helps reduce the overall stress in your life, so that you can get deep, quality sleep. Make sure you have the correct pillow.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOyJ-5gXFAg
Next is maintain a good diet.  Eating healthy and raw will allow your body (and internal systems) to work properly.  A diet high in fresh raw fruits and vegetables, and low in red meat will help reduce inflammation and decrease headaches. Refine your eating habits as much as possible so that you improve your overall health and, at the same time, reduce your headaches.  Remember that a part of eating healthy is to drink plenty of water.  Talk with your chiropractor or nutritionist. Chiropractors are very educated with nutrition and the biochemistry of the body.   

Finally, chiropractic adjustments can help relieve headaches.   Find a qualified, licensed chiropractor, who has experience in relieving headaches.  You should understand exactly what the chiropractor can do to help your body start working properly again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOyJ-5gXFAg.
