Alternative treatments and therapies like chiropractic,
acupuncture, biofeedback, aromatherapy and meditation have managed to
make a niche for themselves in today's modern, busy and hectic
lifestyles. Many doctors these days are also prescribing these
complementary therapies along with the regular course of treatment.
You can therefore take your pick and choose the one which suits
you the most:
Chiropractic:
Chiropractic is
the most famous alternative therapy. This therapy is used to treat
post-traumatic, tension-type, and sometimes migraine headaches. It
believes that headaches are caused due to abnormal motion and irritation
in the neck muscles, nerves and other tissues. It works towards
alleviating the pain with the help of manipulation, exercise and forms
of physical therapy.
Acupuncture:
Acupuncture
is the traditional Chinese art to treat headaches by placing small
needles in special acupuncture points present all over the body.
Acupuncture is used to treat migraines. Scientifically, it has been
found that acupuncture needles stimulate the release of endorphins, the
body's natural pain reliever, thereby curing headache.
Biofeedback:
Biofeedback
can help reduce some types of headache pain, other than migraine. A
biofeedback incorporates a range of relaxation therapies, like breathing
exercises, meditation and guided imagery. These can help you control
your body's response to stress.
