OPTIMIZE YOUR HEALTH JUNE 2007 Headaches can be a symptom of many different diseases and disorders, in addition to being a disorder itself. A headache, like any pain, is the body’s way of telling you that something is wrong. Everyone gets a headache now and then, but reoccurring headaches are a problem that patients should bring to the attention of their physicians. This month’s newsletter will deal with the many ways to handle headaches. As always, we will examine holistic ways to treat headaches through pharmacology, supplementation, nutrition and stress reduction. The Center for Optimal Health’s mission is to help patients feel their best by taking advantage of all the tools available. MEDICAL NEWS
If you are a headache sufferer, you are certainly not alone! In the United States, approximately 50 million people annually seek medical help for headaches. Most headaches are caused by fatigue, stress, or allergies, with only about two percent of all headaches resulting from serious organic disorders. At the Center for Optimal Health, we approach headaches with a whole-person approach, with thorough evaluation and integrative therapies. Here we offer a few tips.
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEWS
Researchers estimate that about 45 million Americans suffer from headaches of various types. Headaches vary by diagnoses such as migraine, tension, sinus, etc. The triggers for headaches vary as well, from chronic muscle tension, drinking wine, sinus infections, etc. Headaches account for about 8 million physician office visits per year. How many headaches do you have per year (or per month)? What can you do to reduce the frequency and severity of your headaches?
EXERCISE NEWS
As we all know, exercise has a multitude of benefits. But did you know that regular exercise can even reduce headache frequency and severity? This month, we offer a simple yoga sequence for headache relief. Take a few minutes and give it a try.
NUTRITIONAL NEWS
