Headaches plague most people at some point in time in their lives. Symptoms vary from mild discomfort to severe pain that can keepthe sufferer bedridden for days. The good news is that only 5% of head-aches are caused by an underlying disease. The remaining 95% are classi-fied as primary headaches. The most common types include tension, mi-graine, and cluster.A tension headache sufferer may have symptoms including adull , aching head pain, tightness along the sides or back of the head, andtenderness along the scalp. This type of headache is often confused with amigraine, but they typically do not have the same visual disturbances,nausea, and vomiting that accompany migraines. Cluster headaches areoften accompanied by nausea and aura. They usually strike suddenly lasting anywhere from 15minutes to several hours and end just as suddenly as they began. Cluster headache sufferersoften complain of pain in or around the eye often accompanied by swelling on the affected sideof the face.Research suggests that chiropractic is a viable option for those that experience primaryheadaches. A Duke Evidence Report conducted in 2001 states that “Cervical spine manipulationwas associated with significant improvement in headache outcomes in trials involving patientswith neck pain and/or neck dysfunction and headache.” Additionally, the Journal of Manipulat-ive and Physiological Therapeutics states that “patients who received spinal manipulative ther-apy experienced a sustained therapeutic benefit in all major outcomes in contrast to the patientsthat received amitriptyline therapy, who reverted to baseline values.” Amitriptyline is commonlyused as a preventative medication for migraines.The following are tips that you can use on a daily basis to help reduce the frequencyand severity of headaches:
•
When at work, take time to walk around and stretch your neck muscles. All stretches should be performed in a comfortable range of motion.
•
Light exercise either at the beginning or end of the day will release stress that has built up inthe body. If you experience headaches on a regular basis, stay away from strenuous exercise.
•
Try not to clench your teeth. Muscles used for chewing are common culprits of tensionheadaches. A simple exercise for practicing where your tongue should be in your mouth to keepyour jaws in a relaxed position is to say the word “in” and keep your tongue where it rests at theroof of the mouth.
•
Be sure to drink plenty of water. Dehydration can cause headaches and give false sensationsof hunger 
•
Tension headaches respond well to ice. A tension headache sufferer may want to try to liedown and place an ice pack at the base of the skull. Be sure to only keep it there for 20 minutesand do this no more frequently than every two hours.If you are concerned about the origin of your headaches, consult our clinic to see if chiropracticis a treatment option for the type of headaches you have.

I suffered with golfer’s elbow for 8 months before seeing Dr. LucasCole. Over those 8 months I had 20 visits with a physical therapist, 2 visitsto an M.D. where I received shots, I wore an arm brace to help with the pain,I used magnets and everything else you can think of. The pain had gotten sobad that I could not hold a coffee cup, grip a golf club or put any stress onmy left arm without great pain. Since seeing Dr. Cole my pain is 95% gone! I can grip the club properly without pain and my downswing is much more on plane. I no longer need to wear an elbow brace to play golf and my swing ismore fluid and powerful. I can honestly say that since seeing Dr. Cole I enjoy my golf game more than ever.

There is a shoeout there thatwas built foryour particularfoot. If you arewearing thewrong shoe,conditions canoccur such asplantarfasciitis, shinsplints,runner’s knee,ITB or TFLsyndrome,pelvis and lowback pain.
The first thing runners want to do before beginning a new trainingregiment for a run is purchase a new pair of shoes. Unfortunately, whenshopping for a new pair of shoes many people purchase based on the coloror price and not based on the needs of their feet. What people should under-stand is that there is a shoe out there that was built for your particular foot.The shoe type that should be worn depends on the structure and mobility of your foot. If you are wearing the wrong shoe when training, conditions canoccur such as plantar fasciitis, shin splints, runner’s knee, ITB or TFL syn-drome, pelvis pain, and low back pain. Here are a few things to keep in mindwhen you decide it is time to buy a new pair of shoes.
•
Get Fitted
- There are three different types of shoes including neutral,stability and motion control. It takes someone that understands the footstructure and biomechanics to get a proper fit. The person fitting you shouldalso watch your running gait since it is completely different from your walk-ing gait.
•
Shoe Size –
Studies have shown that after 10 minutes of running yourfoot can swell up to 3% more than normal size. Therefore it is important toget a shoe that is a size to a size and a half bigger than you wear normally.
•
Cushioning –
Most shoe companies are using either Ethylene Vinyl Ace-tate or Polyethelene for cushioning. The density of the cushioning dependson what type of shoe you have. It is wise to have two pair and alternateeveryday to allow the cushion ample time to return to form between runs.This will ensure that you have the support your body needs.
•
Mileage –
Just like your car tires, there is a limit of how many miles youcan put on your shoes before the cushioning and tread start to wear out.Most people should replace their shoes every 250 - 350 miles depending if they are a heavy striker or not. If you are training for a marathon it is smartto have two pair and alternate between training days.
•
Tread –
Running shoes have a linear tread pattern designed to absorbforces when running in a straight line. Therefore it is important that you useyour running shoes for running only. If you plan on playing a multi-directional sport, get cross trainers or sport specific shoes.
