Don’t Let Headaches Control Your Life
Headaches are a common ailment that can affect anyone, at any time. They can range from mild discomfort to debilitating pain and can greatly impact our daily lives. Whether it’s a tension headache from stress, a migraine with auras, or a headache caused by medication overuse, the pain can be overwhelming and interfere with our ability to function.
When to Seek Help
While some headaches can be easily managed on our own, there are times when seeking professional help is necessary. If your headaches are affecting your quality of life or occurring more frequently, it’s important to seek help from a healthcare professional. They can help identify the cause of your headaches and provide a personalized treatment plan to manage them.
Our Approach to Headache Relief
At The Wellness Centre (Castle Quay), our team of healthcare professionals are trained to diagnose and manage headaches. We start with a thorough history of your symptoms and conduct a physical examination to rule out any serious underlying causes. From there, we work together to develop a multifaceted approach to manage your headaches. This may include working with your GP and other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care.
The Importance of Keeping a Headache Diary
One helpful tool in managing headaches is keeping a detailed headache diary. This allows you to track important information such as timing, triggers, medication use, and pain intensity. Our team can then analyze this data to better understand your specific headache patterns and provide more effective treatment.
There are some great apps that can be useful for this purpose:
- N-1 Headache: https://n1-headache.com/
- Migraine Monitor: https://migrainemonitor.com/
