Headaches

Headaches can become a frequent and unwelcome companion, affecting our daily activities and overall quality of life. These pains, ranging from mild discomfort to debilitating migraines, can arise for various reasons, including stress, dehydration, poor posture, and underlying health conditions.

How Does It Work?

What does root cause medicine focus on when treating headaches?

Root cause medicine aims to identify and address the underlying factors contributing to headaches rather than just alleviating symptoms. This approach involves assessing lifestyle factors, dietary habits, stress levels, and any potential triggers, such as hormonal imbalances or environmental influences. By understanding these root causes, we can develop a personalized treatment plan to reduce headache frequency and intensity.

How can lifestyle changes help manage headache symptoms?

Lifestyle changes can play a significant role in managing headaches. Simple adjustments, such as improving hydration, maintaining a regular sleep schedule, practicing stress-reduction techniques, and ensuring proper posture can all contribute to fewer headaches. Additionally, identifying and avoiding specific food triggers can help create a more tailored approach to headache management, leading to improved overall well-being.

Are there specific tests used to identify the root causes of headaches?

Yes, an evaluation involves various tests to identify the root causes of headaches. These can include blood tests to check for nutrient deficiencies, hormonal assessments, and even imaging studies if necessary. Keeping a headache diary to track symptoms, triggers, and lifestyle factors can also provide valuable insights. This thorough assessment helps ensure that the treatment plan effectively addresses the specific issues contributing to your headaches.

Eddie R.

“Although I am a new patient of the Institute for Functional Health, I couldn’t be more satisfied with my decision to seek them out and chose them to help attain my goal to be in the best optimal health possible at the age of 55. After some lab work and consultation, they had a plan for me to start this journey and explained how we would tackle this process. Eric Salinas was extremely knowledgeable as was the rest of the team led by Dr. Torres. I am excited to get started and see results knowing that Eric Salinas is there to back me up with any questions I may have during this journey.”

“I feel like I get much better care at the Institute for Functional Health than from my regular doctors. Much better. Dr.Salinas seems to actually care about me and my health. He is very knowledgeable and welcomes emails with my questions. He set me up with a personal contact with one of the trainers when I had difficulty with some of the exercises on the app. I am regaining my health day by day.”
