Bottom Line:
One of the primary side effects of many prevalent headache medications is, well…more headaches!
That’s right.
Rebound headaches are often caused by the same medications you use to find relief. Even taking medications for more than just a few days may trigger overuse, or rebound, headaches.
Why it Matters:
Most headache medications aren’t designed to be used frequently because they simply address the symptoms, not the cause of the problem.
As you take medication, your body can become sensitized, meaning you need to take more medication to achieve the same result. This can lead to a downward spiral and cycle of chronic rebound headaches.
The good news? Taking care of yourself and creating healthy habits each day can prevent most headaches.
Here are a few ways to naturally reduce your risk of headaches…
Next Steps:
Masking the symptoms with drugs can work now and again, but it’s not a sustainable way to find long-lasting relief.
To find lasting relief, you’ll want to follow the latest healthcare guidelines that recommend movement-based care, such as chiropractic.
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to live their life free from chronic headaches, and we’re here to help, schedule now!
