Headaches

Migraines are a common form of headache which are treated most commonly with over the counter meds and prescription drugs.  These drugs seek to only mask the pain around the head and neck region however this ignores the true cause to the migraine.

The structural cause of a migraine deals with tight muscles due to either dehydration, excessive computer work, heavy lifting, and repetitive motions which can irritate the neck and shoulder muscles and cause a massive spasm.

This spasm of the neck muscles can be very disruptive to a person's life and leave a person desperate for answers and willing to try anything to remedy the pain.

In my experience there is a major emotional component behind migraines which cause the bulk of the head pain.  The emotional cause circles around resistance towards moving forward in life, a fear of failure which cause a fear of starting new tasks.

This vicious cycle eventually causes so much anguish and pain that most people ignore the fact that their pain has anything to do with an emotion.  Once we can discover what we are resisting a process in our life we can release it and the migraine will disappear.  

I also have patients contact a release point on the back of their neck and visualize a rope untwisting and releasing tension the same way their muscles release tension.

Try these exercises and you will find how quickly the pain disappears.
