Headaches are painful, uncomfortable, and can destroy your mood, let alone disrupt your day. Though migraines (occur on one side of the head) are the most common type, there are other kinds of headaches you may develop for different reasons. For example, a tension headache may feel like aching pressure around the head, or a cluster headache (series of headaches, sometimes behind one eye at a time) can cause you to sweat, swell, and become warm to the touch. Certain foods, sounds, excessive noise or bright lights, changes in blood sugar, and even too much exercise can all be reasons for your headache. If you require headache treatment in Richmond, VA, consult with Dr. Scott Shaw, at Shaw Chiropractic Center.
