Headache Treatment Joondalup

Say Goodbye to Pesky Headaches
Whether you have a tension headache or migraine, it hurts.
Everyone gets a headache from time to time. Sometimes, the only
way to cure it is a trip to your headaches specialist in Joondalup.
Before you go, though, try these quick tips to soothe the pain.
Migraines
The throbbing, pulsing pain of a
migraine is unbearable and often come
with nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity
to light and sound. There are, however,
some ways you can relieve the pain
while waiting it out.
Try cooling your forehead. You can use an ice pack or bag of
frozen peas. Keep the cold pack on your forehead for fifteen
minutes, and then wait fifteen before you put it on again.
Migraines are notorious for sensitivity to light and noise. Remove
yourself from these situations. Dim the lights, turn off the TV, or

use blackout curtains. Wear dark sunglasses outside. Anti-glare
screens on your computer may also help prevent migraines.
Tension Headaches
When you have a tension, or stress, headache, the dull pain and
pressure can feel like your skull is being squeezed. Tension
headaches last anywhere from thirty minutes to days, but they
usually don’t keep you from doing the things you want to do.
To relieve the pain of a tension headache, try a warm compress. A
heating pad on your neck or the back of your head often helps.
You may even try a warm shower.
External Compression Headaches
Many women get a headache when wearing a ponytail.
Sometimes, you can get a headache if your hat or a headband is
too tight. We call these external compression headaches. The best
way to relieve this headache is to loosen the offensive object on
your head. If you can take your hair down, that often helps.
General Headache Relief
Some people get headaches when they
chew gum or eat crunchy or sticky
foods. It may be a medical condition
that affects your jaw that causes these.
To prevent the pain, avoid gum and
those foods. If you must eat foods that

cause pain, take small bites. Keep in mind that if you chew your
fingernails or anything else, this can also cause the pain, so you
might want to curb those habits. If you grind your teeth at night,
a mouth guard may help. You can get one from your dentist.
Relaxation and massage can help relieve headaches, too. Whether
you do yoga or progressive muscle relaxation, any headaches
caused by stress will lessen. You can massage your own neck and
temples to help relieve headache pain.
Ginger and caffeine have both been found effective at relieving
headaches, especially when you use them along with an over-thecounter
pain medicine like acetaminophen. Coffee, tea (with or
without ginger), or even a ginger supplement should help.
Headache Treatment Joondalup doesn’t have to include a visit to
a medical centre or drugstore. Try out different methods until you
find the one, or combination, that works best for you.
