Learn Great Remedies For Your Headache Triggers...

When was the last time you didn't wake up with morning headaches? Yesterday, today, 1-month ago?

As you know this type of pain can interrupt your sleep and daily quality of life.

So if you suffer or know of someone who suffers from this condition we can help!

No need for you to worry...we are here to help you figure out everything you can about your episodes and treat them according.

Basically… pain episodes are caused by tension that you might experience the day prior to the pain. If that is the case you wake up with this annoying issue.

Many of our clients at chronic-pain-management-support.com complain of this often. It always leads to stress and a massage therapy session is one of the best remedies!

Are you now wondering what your triggers are and some remedies to stop the pain?

Great! Let’s learn more…

Triggers

• Lack of sleep
• Poor pillow support
• Stress
• Colds and flu
• Eye strain
• Hard crying bouts

Since morning headaches seem to develop over night the most painful period is between 4-8am. This is when we produce less endorphins. These are natural painkillers in the body. They are normal and play an important role.

Then…when endorphins are lowered…adrenalin is being produced and released during this time. Adrenalin is a normal body chemical that gets us going.

To get us going it affects our blood pressure. So if we are stressed…our blood pressure increases…muscles tighten…and then…your pain sets in!

Morning headaches can be avoided and eliminated by trying some of the remedies we love.

Our Favorite Remedies

• Stress Management…Deep breathing, stepping back from a stressful situation are two great tension headache remedies that we tell our clients. Meditation, gentle yoga and guided imagery are our favorites and we at chronic-pain-management support practice this daily to keep our tension headaches at rest.
• Muscle Relaxation…Massage therapy is perfect! It relieves muscle tension. Many episodes have gone away completely with massage therapy. Also, try ice or heat. It depends on your preference. If you like heat try a moist heating pad. A hot bath or show can help as well. If you like ice…place an ice pack on the painful area. Always protect your skin with a towel when using ice.
• Improve your posture…When standing or sitting make sure your shoulders are relaxed and held back. Pull your head back so it lines up with your spine. Also pull in your abdomen. Keep a good posture helps muscle from tightening up.

So…please try some of these remedies to lessen the triggers of your pain. We don’t want this issue to become long-term or chronic.

Yet…if it does are these your triggers?

It is always a good idea to get a diagnosis of the type of headache you suffer from. Then learn all you can to be able to restore the quality of your life.

Don’t wait…you are worth it!
