<Most headaches no matter what the cause, no matter what you call them, migraine, cluster, etc., many times they come from the musculoskeletal imbalance in the back or the neck and if we can treat these areas of instability, with trigger points, with Prolotherapy. Then we can beat these headaches.>

I have been posting over and over that getting to the cause of the headaches that are caused by musculoskeletal problems should be a first effort to deal with head aches. I did not use the term musculoskeletal. I pointed out that the cervical and thoracic vertebra and surrounding muscles are often the cause of the head aches. As I said, the head bone is connected to the neck bones and so on.

There are many treatment modalities that can relieve, rebalance, or correct the muscle and skeletal irregularities. Myofacial release sounds similar to the trigger point method used by ProlotherapyLA. It can do it without the invasion of the body of an antagonizing substance as used in prolotherapy.

Chiropractic, Minimal Force Chiropractic, Upper Cervical Chiropractic, Physical Therapy, massage, etc can all effect similar relief.

Each persons body will respond in an individual way to the various therapies. Finances and access to the various specialists can impact the choices. If one therapy does not work, don't be afraid to try another. There is no one cure all method.

As the saying goes, You mileage may vary.
