PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 04, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With the whirlwind of tasks to complete as individuals approach the holidays, it is no wonder that people experience an increase in the frequency of headaches from November throughout December. Chiropractic treatments can reduce the stress and strain and provide natural relief from chronic headaches and anxiety, reports Dr. Samantha Stuart, DC. Portland residents may feel an increase in stress, poor diet and less than optimal sleep that can factor into more severe and more frequent headaches. A Portland chiropractor can identify the factors and provide effective headache treatment to Portland area patients at Dr. Samantha Stuart, DC.
Common factors that can increase the how often and how severe headaches are felt by patients include stress, temperature changes, dehydration, diet, and lack of sleep. It is easy for patients to get away from their healthy habits and indulge in more sweets, more alcohol, and become stressed when preparing for guests, decorating for the holidays, and shopping for their nearest and dearest. Use of common stress-relieving techniques can assist in counteracting effects, including mind-body exercises, consuming regular healthy meals, and making adjustments to get the necessary amount of sleep that everybody needs.
Headache treatment options from Dr. Samantha Stuart, DC include a range of non-invasive techniques for chronic headache and migraine sufferers. Natural pain management treatments can include chiropractic to reduce pressure on the RCPM muscle, massage therapy, and nutritional counseling. Massage therapy is known to enhance the mind-body connection, reduce muscle tension and decrease stress. A nutritional counselor can identify potential triggers of headaches in areas such as caffeine intake and food consumption.
“As the holiday season begins, many people are under more stress and get derailed from their healthy habits. Their metabolism is affected, their bodies are physically impacted by unusual stress levels and dealing with more frequent headaches can make it near to impossible to complete all of the tasks before them and enjoy the time they spend with friends and family,” said Dr. Samantha Stuart, DC. “As an experienced chiropractor, I work with patients to identify their personal triggers and create a program to reduce headaches and manage stress during a busy and festive holiday season. Nutrition, chiropractic and massage are three great tools to address problematic headaches.”
