ABOUT TENSION HEADACHES

THE TENSION HEADACHE - EXPLAINED

Other terms for the tension headache: muscle contraction headache, stress headache, ordinary headache, idiopathic headache, psychogenic headache, psychomyogenic headache and essential headache. This type of headache has been shown to respond extremely well to trigger point treatment with ultrasound. It is not uncommon for a tension headache to disappear within 5 minutes of an ultrasound trigger point treatment.

The Tension Headache is the most common type of headache, occurring between 30% to 78% of the population (this variation depends on the study). The Tension Headache can range from infrequent episodic (less than 1 day per month, on average) to the chronic (headache occurring on at least 15 days per month for more than three months). Infrequent occurrences of this headache really have minimal impact on quality of life, but for frequent and chronic sufferers of the tension headache, considerable disability is incurred; expensive drugs and increased difficulty to live a healthy lifestyle increase both the personal and socio-economic costs of the frequent tension headache sufferer.

INFREQUENT EPISODIC TENSION TYPE HEADACHE

This is categorized as infrequent headache episodes that can last from a couple minutes to days. Pain is usually bilateral (occuring on both the left and right side of the head) and has a pressing or tightening feeling with a pain intensity from mild to moderate. The pain does not increase with physical activity and no nausea is associated with this type of headache. It is not uncommon for a sufferer to be overly sensitive to light or sound. This headache is further differentiated by a sensitity (or lack of) to pressure on trigger points in the upper trapezius, masseter, temporal, sternius, pterygoid and sternocleidomastoid muscles. A map of sensitive trigger points that are treatable by ultrasound can be found here.

FREQUENT EPISODIC TENSION TYPE HEADACHE

This is categorized as frequent headache episodes that can last from a couple minutes to days. At least 10 episodes will on more than 1 but less than 15 days per month for at least three months. This type of headache often exists with the Migraine Without Aura type of headache, and in such cases, it is important for the sufferer to keep a headache diary, which will help the doctor diagnose the proper type of headache. Migraine Headache treatment is quite different from Tension Headache treatment and proper diagnosis is important to for both treatment selection and to help prevent the occurrence of medication-overuse headaches. Pain is usually bilateral (occuring on both the left and right side of the head) and has a pressing or tightening feeling with a pain intensity from mild to moderate. The pain does not increase with physical activity and no nausea is associated with this type of headache. It is not uncommon for a sufferer to be overly sensitive to light or sound, but not both. This headache is further differentiated by a sensitity (or lack of) to pressure on trigger points in the upper trapezius, masseter, temporal, sternius, pterygoid and sternocleidomastoid muscles.

      

An Inferno Wrap is one of the most helpful tools for treating a wide varity of issues that cause headache pain. Through the absorption of deep penetrating energy waves, tissues are safely and gently heated - increasing blood flow within the treated area. Your body’s natural response to this increased temperature is to try to maintain a condition of homeostasis — a balanced environment or state of equilibrium throughout the body. To do this, your body responds with a rapid increase in blood flow to the area (this is known as vasodilation), increasing the supply of nutrients to injured cells and flushing out toxins (including lactic acid, commonly found in trigger points) to promote healing. Our Inferno Wrap™ provides effective, non-invasive, non-addictive pain relief with no side effects.
