Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 75% of pain is caused by trigger points (areas of contracted cells in muscle tissue), but they are drastically under-diagnosed as the source of pain, including headaches and migraines. Trigger points may refer pain and other symptoms both in the local area and/or to other areas of the body, but since over 74% of trigger points are not located in the area where you feel pain, treating the local area does not resolve the problem most of the time. The most common "referral patterns" have been well documented and diagrammed over decades of research. Probably at least 90% of headaches and migraines are caused by trigger points in the upper back, neck, scalp, and facial muscles. You can probably relieve much or all of your headache pain with a combination of trigger point self-help, and identifying and eliminating all the perpetuating factors to the extent possible (the things that cause and keep trigger points activated). TMJ pain is often occurs together with headaches and migraines, and it is essential to treat both for lasting relief. In addition to headaches, migraines, and TMJ pain, conditions such as trapezius pain, neck stiffness and lack of range of motion, head-forward posture, and improper breathing are addressed. By clicking on the pertinent muscle chapter links from the table of contents (chapters 6 through 16), your e-book reader takes you to each chapter that may harbor trigger points that are the source of your pain. You'll find illustrations of common pain referral patterns that you can compare with your symptoms, and this will help you figure out where the common trigger points causing your pain are likely located.Along with outlining the common symptoms and causes for trigger points for each muscle, there are lists of "helpful hints" for resolving trigger points. Self-help techniques are written out and accompanied by detailed photos to guide you through the techniques. An extensive Appendix on perpetuating factors that will cause trigger points to form in any of the muscles of the body will help you gain lasting relief.

Her life completely changed with the ability to take care of her own migraines. Please do not accept headaches. Fight them at all cost. They are stealing your life.

They work. Again, please don't get frustrated or over complicate your migraines. With so much information on headaches and migraines, a person could get overwhelmed. For my patients, my job is to limit how much information they need in order to help them. When you get confused or frustrated, reread needed chapters. This book is not medical advice but rather information for migraine sufferers. If you have concerns, seek medical attention immediately. In no way does this book replace medical treatment or advice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's time to change the way we assess, treat and manage headache pain. If you suffer from chronic headache or migraine, you know that headaches can rule your daily life as you try to avoid triggers, cope with pain, manage unexpected attacks and spend hours trying different cures and searching for an answer. You've had all the scans, taken all the tests, but still don't have a definitive answer as to why you are constantly dealing with frequent, severe headache pain. Without an answer, the medical profession often ends up treating the symptoms, with the long-term use of medication, which can end up making your headaches worse and often come with a range of dangerous side effects.For over 23 years, author and manual therapist, Pablo Tymoszuk, has been successfully treating people with severe, frequent headaches, without the use of pain killers or medication.Combining common sense with manual therapy, the latest studies and years of experience, Pablo has developed effective strategies that minimize the symptoms of headache and migraine, treat the underlying causes and improve the overall health of his patients.By assessing all headaches using a three-component model that considers musculoskeletal, neurovascular and emotional contributions to your pain, Pablo demonstrates how simple, effective life style changes can make a profound difference to the frequency and severity of your headaches and improve your overall health.Whether you get headaches when you wake up, headaches behind your eye, at the back of your head or after eating, Pablo explains how the three-component model applies to your situation.This book also examines many of the current popular practices and theories around headache pain management. Pablo shares his insights on the value of identifying diet and environmental triggers, what nausea and aura might be trying to tell you, the impact of hormones, the types of manual therapy you should consider for headache pain, why trigger points are so important, the effectiveness of Botox and the difference between acupuncture and dry needling. With clear explanations, in-depth investigations, instructions, case studies and activities, Pablo guides you, step by step, towards a headache-free future.
