3 Natural Ways to Get Rid of Your Headaches

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

In our Denver Headache Health Center we always promote these 3 natural and effective ways to help get rid of your headaches.

1. Drink plenty of water – Dehydration is often the cause of headaches. Before you reach for the bottle of Aspirin, make sure you are well hydrated! So how much water should you be drinking? Drink half your weight in ounces of water each day. For example, a 150 pound person would divide their weight in half and drink 75 ounces of water per day. One easy way to do this is to get a large water bottle with ounce measurements on the side. Fill it up and take it with you throughout your day. If you do not have a water bottle with measurements, there are 8 ounces in one cup of water. Divide your total daily ounces by 8 and that is how many cups of water you should be drinking everyday!

What Is A TMJ Headache?

Monday, July 12th, 2010

According to the American Dental Association about 60 million Americans have temporomandibular joint syndrome or TMJS.  The symptoms include headaches, sore jaw joint, difficulty chewing and talking.

Muscular and structural irregularities in the jaw caused by stress, trauma, and dental problems can aggravate the jaw joint.  The jaw is very sensitive because of the amount of nerves that go there. 

 Many of our patients swear by gentle adjustments to the jaw that actually relieve headaches.  To see if you qualify for this kind of care, call (303) 394-CARE (2273).  Adjustments realign the jawbone and create normal healthful movements.
