Headaches in Teenagers

Headaches are a common complaint, and are among the most common of complaints with adolescents. A recent group of German researchers performed a study to determine if smoking, alcoholic beverage consumption, coffee consumption, and inactivity contribute to the suffering of patients that experience migraine headaches and migraines plus tension type headaches.
Over 1200 subjects from 14-20 years old were included in the study. The researchers found that Coffee consuption and inactivity contribute to migraine headaches, while coffee consumption, inactivity, alcohol consumption and smoking all contributed to the suffering of those that have both migraines and tension type headaches.
The moral of the story is this: If you are suffering from headaches, you very well might get some benefit by making some healthy choices. First of all, eliminate the usage of all coffee, tobacco, and alcohol. Secondly, increase your physical activity.  Third, increase your physical activities.  Finally, find a chiropractor that you trust. Many headaches can be releaved through chiropractic adjustments of the segments in the neck. Adjustments have been found to be safe and very affective.
Make some changes so that you can take less medication and improve your health. If you know of others that suffer from headaches, pass this along to them!
