All-Natural Headache Cures
Instead of depending on pain medications to get you through the day, perhaps you could try one of these drug-free natural headache cures for relief.
Chiropractic Adjustments:
Research shows that neck adjustments can decrease disability and pain in many patients with cervicogenic headaches and helps reduce the frequency of migraine headaches.
Trigger Point Therapy:
This therapy is commonly used by chiropractors and other manual therapists to target trigger points, or hyper-irritable spots of pain in the muscles. One study found that trigger point therapy applied to the neck reduced cervicogenic headache pain by 71%.
Exercise:
Women who exercised for 40 minutes three times per week had the same reductions in migraine pain as women taking an anti-seizure medication called topiramate in a 2011 study.
Massage Therapy:
Massage therapy can help to relieve neck symptoms in patients with cervicogenic headaches, according to one new study. Massage can also ease the tension and stress related to tension-type headaches.
Instead of popping a pill, try the above natural headache cures to relieve your headaches. Their efficacy proves that you can find relief outside of a bottle.
