The International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD) Edition defines more than 150 different types of headache, which are divided into two main categories: primary and secondary.

A primary headache involves the condition itself. That is, migraine and tension headache itself as a result of stress, hypertension and sports and/or sexual activity.

In this case it may be accompanied by sensitivity to light and sensory and auditory indisposition. auditory indisposition. Nausea and vomiting are common in these cases.

When it is a secondary headache, the reasons are very diverse but always the result of an intracranial haemorrhage, a tumour or severe trauma.

Most of the time, it will have to be attributed to other organic conditions, the best known endogenous and exogenous causes of which usually include climate changes, pollution, electromagnetic hypersensitivity and bad smells, as well as lack of sleep or hormonal changes (especially in women).

In addition to the genetic factor present in many people, it can also occur due to certain medications (the same ones used to treat migraines) and diet: abuse of foods such as coffee, wine, cheese, additives such as Monosodium Glutamate or other chemicals that the processed food industry spills without reason. "Food", of course, of extreme harm and zero benefit.
From the perspective of osteopathic and functional medicine, we usually approach the problem from a particularly structural and visceral level.

And we observe that there are many cases in which an alteration of the intestinal microbiota due to hepatic dysfunction, a bad dental occlusion related to the TMJ, an entrapment of the Trigeminal Nerve or an associated vascular-cranial disorder can generate intermittent or continuous migraines of the most undesirable nature.

If and when this is your case, thanks to a personalised treatment that includes a series of manipulations and the use of natural supplements, we can reverse the symptoms and erradicate their cause.

Ultimately, making a pending decision would be one of the cures. Shall we say goodbye to those annoying migraines?
