How Do We Treat Headaches?
Headaches can be debilitating whether they are primary or secondary. Depending on the type and cause of the headache, there are numerous Albuquerque headache treatments that can be offered at our clinic to help patients find relief. Some headaches, especially primary headaches require targeting the chemicals within the body that are causing the headache itself, this can be done through diet, supplements, medications or sometimes a more involved treatment plan. Some headaches can be controlled using botox to paralyze the muscle responsible for causing the headache. In addition to our Albuquerque botox for migraines, other types, such as tension headaches, can be addressed through structural correction. A plan incorporating joint alignment, stretching, and strengthening might be an option and include referrals for massage, chiropractic, and physical therapy as appropriate. There are sometimes cases where it is necessary to collaborate with team practitioners in different specialties for Albuquerque headache treatments.
