Suffering with Continuous Headaches (Hemicranial Cephalalgia) in Boise Idaho?
Head and Neck Misalignment is A Common Cause!
The term Hemicranial Cephalalgia or Hemicrania Continuosa breaks down to a continuous headache type pain on half of the head that never completely goes away. In virtually all cases the patient can recall a previous injury to the head or neck prior to the onset of the headache, with the average being 10-15 years from the date of the injury to the onset of symptoms. Injuries to the head and neck commonly result in spinal misalignment in the upper two neck bones which is by far the most common cause of chronic headaches.
What Are The Most Common Symptoms of Hemicranial Cephalalgia?
The Most Common Symptoms are:
1. A continuous headache for 3 months or more. 2. Continuous pain on one side of the head. 3. Headache pain that is moderate and fluctuates to severe. 4. Autonomic features such as: a. a watering eye (lacrimation) b. nasal congestion or runny nose (rhinorrhea) c. a dropping eyelid (ptosis) d. a constricted pupil (miosis) |
