​

How are headaches diagnosed?

​

Your Complete Wellness specialist asks questions about your symptoms to determine the type and severity of your headaches. They complete an exam and may use imaging tests, such as CT scans, to rule out more serious health complications before treatment.

​

What is the treatment for headaches?

​

To treat headaches naturally without addictive pain medicines, your Complete Wellness specialist might recommend one or more of the following headache treatments:

​

• Brain tapping - Brain tapping, or forced meditation, helps relax your entire body. It relieves stress, improves sleeping problems, and boosts energy levels.

• Dietary supplements - Taking dietary supplements can optimize your overall health and wellness, improve joint health, and reduce your risk of nutritional deficiencies, injuries, and pain.

• Chiropractic adjustments - Adjusting your spine into proper alignment, your Complete Wellness provider uses controlled pressure to correct spinal issues associated with widespread musculoskeletal pain.

• Massage therapy - Massage therapy uses manual pressure to relieve chronic pain, tension, and stress. It enhances healing and helps prevent future pain associated with fibromyalgia.
