By Frank Carbart


There are more than 100 headache types, categorized by symptoms and causes. Some of the most commonly seen by a Denver CO chiropractor are:

Tension: Also known as a stress, non-progressive, chronic, or daily headache, this is the most commonly reported type, especially in teens and adults. The pain level is typically mild to moderate, usually manifesting as an intermittent throb. They generally coincide with stressful situations and are often effectively relieved with chiropractic therapeutic massage techniques.

Migraines: Generally manifesting as throbbing, pounding, or stabbing pains, they often have other side effects as well. They can be debilitating and can last a few hours, days, or weeks, even. Some people have multiples within a month. Additional symptoms include noise and light sensitivity, motion sickness, and stomach cramps. Although the cause is often hard to pinpoint, spinal adjustments are usually an effective way to reduce their frequency and severity.

Cluster headaches: Fortunately, these are rather uncommon, yet considered by many to be the most intense and painful type of headache. They are frequently described as a piercing pain, or penetrating burn, manifesting behind the eyes either constantly present, or being intermittent.

Most people can not tolerate the intensity of a cluster headache. If they are able stand leaving the bed long enough to visit a chiropractic office, an spinal adjustment or therapeutic massage is often able to ease the pain and relieve some tension.

Sinus headaches: This headache is common during times of the years where allergies tend to flare up for people. This headache type usually accompanies sinus flare-ups, infections and other issues associated with allergies and sinusitis.

They are quite common. Typically short in duration, their frequency, intensity, and severity, can vary depending on the individual situation.
