What Causes Headaches


Recommended Posts

is a new video I produced for our patients on the causes of headaches. Notice the window . . . that is not a poster of a beautiful setting, but the actual look out my window onto the harbor. Sorry but some people have to look at such beauty so it might as well be me.

 

If you have nothing else to do, click on it over and over to drive it up youtube's list of headache videos as more exposure for our clinic.

That is very informative .. thank you so much for sharing !!! ... actually I wish you guys can post here and there some more of these video (in the area of expertise of each) to share that knowledge with us newbies ! :)

Sounds like it is right out of a textbook . . . from the 1950s.

I'm sorry for this somewhat crude comment. I think it was coming from the place where I've done a lot of headache lectures to groups and I use to do the headache lecture for a PA and NP program. It was almost invariable that when I was done, and I shared the cutting edge thinking of the real thought leaders and researchers, that the PA/NP regular professors would contradict everything I had just said and put the students back in the mind-set of their text books, which was from the thinking of the 1950s-70s.

 

For one: There are no such things as 1) "Muscle Contraction Headaches," 2) "Tension Headaches," 3) "Sinus Headaches," or 4) "Vascular Headaches." These are old concepts. Headaches are not caused by stress, tension, mental illness and it is very, very rare that headaches are simply drug seeking. These concepts are about the same as saying smoking menthol cigarettes is good for your asthma.
