At Recovery Lab of Rancho Cucamonga, we have many services we offer, many of which are able to help with migraines and headaches. Before getting into what these are and how, exactly, they help, let’s first take a brief look at what causes your head to hurt in these ways.
The Various Causes Of Head Pain
Both migraines and headaches are essential pain in your head, only differing slightly in location and intensity. Pain here can be caused by conditions in the body, such as hormone imbalances, out-of-whack blood pressure or blood sugar, or other conditions.
Also, injuries commonly cause headaches and migraines. This can be because of accidentally hitting your head, but pain also radiates into your head when you injure or pull something in your neck, shoulders, or spine.
What Sort Of Services To Expect At Wellness Centers
Each wellness center is going to have a set of services they offer, and these tend to vary from one center to another.
As for what we offer at Recovery Lab, some of our most popular are:
- Cryotherapy
- Red Light Therapy
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
- Mobility Stretching
- Percussion Therapy
- Cupping Therapy
- NormaTec Recovery
However, to know what to look for in a wellness center, you’re probably more interested in knowing which of these actually helps with headaches.
How These Services Are Preventative
Some of the best ways to prevent headaches or migraines are to make sure you are hydrated, to generally stay healthy, and to avoid injuries in your neck and shoulder area.
Almost all of the services we offer are able to either help your overall health or prevent injuries that might lead to pain in your head.
For example, our cryotherapy, red light therapy, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy are all great for improving your health. In their own way, each makes your cells work more efficiently, which indirectly helps all aspects of your health.
Meanwhile, our mobility stretching is perfect for preventing pulled muscles, including the ones in your shoulder and neck area.
How These Services Treat Migraines And Headaches
If you already have a migraine or headache, we know you want to get rid of it as soon as possible.
While this depends on the cause of the headache, increasing the oxygen in your system with our hyperbaric oxygen therapy is beneficial to your brain, which needs plenty of oxygen to be at its best.
Both cryotherapy and red-light therapy are great aids as well. The first gets your blood pumping by ramping up your fight or flight mode, while the other stimulates your cells to work faster.
