There are over 150 different types of headaches. Isn’t that a horrible thought? As a chiropractor for headaches in Springfield, Illinois I can say that my patients definitely don’t like hearing that. It’s like saying there are 150 different ways to absolutely destroy your day or week, not to mention the days and weeks of anyone who comes too close to a headache sufferer.
At the Springfield Wellness Center, we see a few types of headaches more often than the others, which will hopefully bring readers some relief.
Identifying the particular hellscape that a patient is experiencing is important to treat it and prevent it from becoming a chronic issue. Definitely seek out professional help if experiencing any of the following symptoms alongside a headache:
- Stiff neck
- Rash
- “This is the worst it’s ever been”
- Vomiting
- Confusion
- Slurred speech
- Any fever of 100.4
