Five Types Of Headaches
- posted: Aug. 28, 2023
Headaches are a common type of pain, but they vary considerably in terms of severity and location. If you experience headaches, knowing the specific type you have can help you find effective relief. At East Detroit Chiropractic Center, our chiropractors in Clinton can help you determine the kind of headache you are experiencing and perform spinal adjustments to ease pain and other symptoms.
1. Migraine
Migraines can cause severe throbbing pain that usually affects one side of the head rather than both. These headaches can last for several hours or a few days before easing up. Certain triggers, such as specific foods or stress, can cause migraines to occur. Sometimes, migraines cause symptoms before the pain starts, known as aura.
2. Tension
Tension headaches are more common than migraines. They tend to affect the scalp and neck due to muscle tension. These headaches typically last for short periods of time, unlike migraines. Stress can cause you to experience tension headaches, especially when your neck muscles become tense.
3. Sinus
Sinus headaches occur when you have too much pressure in your sinuses due to congestion. You might have this type of headache if you have a cold or other virus that causes sinus inflammation. Seasonal allergies can also cause sinus headaches to occur. These headaches can cause pain and pressure above your eyes and on either side of your nose.
4. Cluster
Cluster headaches typically occur multiple times for a few weeks or more. These headaches usually cause pain on one side of your head, especially close to your eye. Although cluster headaches happen multiple times, each headache might only last for a few hours.
5. Exertion
Exertion headaches occur due to physical activity. Lifting weights, jumping, or doing other intense activities that put pressure on your head can trigger these headaches. Exertion headaches typically last a short time.
