Chronic headaches are a common problem treated in chiropractic care, but their causes and types can vary from one person to another. If you are scheduled to visit a chiropractor serving Fort Wayne for your chronic headaches and to learn about migraine treatment, then perform the following steps to prepare for your appointment. 

Identify Your Symptoms

Headaches come in many varieties, and 3 of the most common types include tension, cluster, and migraine.

  • Tension headaches are most common and they develop with muscle tension or when changes in brain chemicals occur. Often, these headaches are a result of stress and the related muscle contractions in the neck and scalp.
  • Cluster headaches are characterized by sudden and severe pain that is isolated to one side of the head. This type of headache is more common in men, occurs in cycles, and can be accompanied by a runny nose and watery eyes.
  • Migraine headaches can vary greatly between individuals, but they often share characteristics that include throbbing pain which ranges from moderate to severe. This pain normally occurs on one side of the head and is worsened by activity.

Determining which category your headache falls into will make is easier for you to discuss your symptoms with your chiropractor.

Start a Headache Journal

If you’re like many people, then you don’t want to spend time thinking about your headaches. However, paying attention to certain factors can make diagnosis and treatment more simple. To prepare for your chiropractor appointment, start making a headache journal. This log should contain an account the date of each headache, what time it began, and how long it lasted. Also, you can benefit from writing down a list of the foods that you consumed and the activities that you performed on each of these days. This process can provide you and your doctor with better insight into what type of headaches you suffer from, how long they last, and their potential triggers. Make your headache journal as detailed as possible and remember to bring it with you to your appointment.
