Headaches and migraines what you dont know Welcome to the Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show. Today, we're going to talk about headaches and migraine, and a different way to look at headaches and how to find a solution. Welcome to the Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show, a podcast advocating wellness, life and healing from within. With 38 years in practice, 50,000 patients and over 1 million chiropractic adjustments, here's your host, Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr. My name is Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr, I'm a Doctor of Chiropractic. And we're going to focus on migraines and headaches and different reasons why people get headaches and what's the solution to find a cure. This is a very important topic for me because I suffered with migraines for 17 years, almost every day, I woke up with severe severe migraines. And it was a long journey for me to find a solution, and I did find a solution. So I’ll talk a little bit more about that, but there is an epidemic out there, and there's 45 million Americans that suffer with headaches. And in my practice we see a lot of people that come in with headaches and migraines. And it's a very important topic because when you suffer migraine, it's very debilitating you know; it affects your life in a way that you just cannot function. So primary type of headaches; 90 percent of all the headaches come from tension, migraine, cluster headaches, cervicogenic headaches, which is basically coming from the spine, coming from the neck, coming from the neck area, bones out of alignment that can cause headaches. So the secondary type of headaches come from illnesses like blood pressure; high blood pressure or brain tumors. And you know, those are different kinds of headaches. So common headache types that we have today are sinus headaches; one of them is sinus headaches, and it's usually behind the forehead and the cheekbone. The second type of headaches are the cluster headaches, and basically they focus around the eyes. The third kind of headaches are tension headaches that basically feel like a band squeezing your head. And the last kind of headaches are the migraine type, which can cause pain, can cause nausea, can cause visual disturbances or changes. And basically that's the one that I suffered with, it’s basically the migraine. Chronic type of tension headaches are the most common variety, and it affects more women than men.
