Can a chiropactor cause occipital neuralgia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Chiropractors offer great help in the treatment of occipital neuralgia. These experts are skilled in providing treatment for the spinal column and nervous system. They use various treatment methods to relieve their symptoms. Plus, they give quick relief by reducing inflammation and irritation of the occipital nerve. The sacro-occipital technique (SOT) is a type of chiropractor who specializes in treating pain by improving spine alignment. They also help relieve any chronic pain.

When it comes to occipital neuralgia, it can help due to the tight muscles that can cause discomfort and pain. So, there are fewer chances of getting occipital neuralgia if you have a treatment from a chiropractor. But, if you feel pain in your neck and head after chiropractic therapy, then you should seek medical help promptly.

Why does tea make you pee?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Tea doesn't make you urinate any more than any other drink containing water does.

Whether you drink a 200ml glass of water or a 200ml mug of tea, you'll urinate the same amount.

How much you urinate depends on how much you drink and how much of what you drink isn't absorbed by your bloodstream.

Some caffeinated drinks can cause contractions to the bladder giving you the feeling that you desperately need to urinate, when in fact you don't. Therefore coffee would make you feel the need to urinate more than tea.

Can drinking too much water be bad for you?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, drinking too much water can be toxic - except it is very hard to drink too much fresh, clean water to be able to die. Normal healthy people would need to drink on the order of 20 liters per day for it to be toxic but people with some medical problems, particularly the elderly and very young, can get toxic on much lesser amounts. Also people with psychiatric disorders, most notably schizophrenia.

Drinking too much water is called polydipsia. This, as well as several other processes, can cause low blood concentrations of sodium, which is known as (dilutional) hyponatremia.

How do you stop coffee headaches?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you just stop drinking coffee, you will get head aches. So the way to do it is like this.


Say you drink 3 cups a day, reduce that number to 1 cup. Then once down to one cup a day drink a cup only once every 3 days, do this 3 times (9 days). Next drink one cup every 4 days, then 5 days, etc. Until you drink one cup a week. Next drink one cup every 2 weeks and so on until you drink one cup a month. By then your body will not need the coffee/caffeine, so then you can stop! :)


Now, remove all coffee produces (including coffee cake) from home and work.


Stay away from coffee stores because you might get tempted.


Soon you will have a coffee/headache free body and life. :)

Why does drinking alcohol give you a headache?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I'm no expert but i am Scottish had the same problem and this is my conclusion

I find if you are not drinking enough water during the day,or drinking too many sugar based drinks as a substitute for water your body will gradually become dehydrated

when you drink alcohol your body will not ingest the H2O content of the beverage as efficiently as usual but rather concentrate its efforts with breaking down the alcohol, which it regards as poison dehydrating you very quickly

So my theory is this.....You are suffering what we call a " mid day hangover"

remember a hangover is just a manifestation of dehydration.

so the solution i found to deal with this is get you body in a regime where water is its main source of hydration (during the day) this takes a bit of time.

I find it takes about 3 weeks to flush out your system.

Then your ready to rock you body can cope with the drinking process with added benefits such as..

The Hang Over Cure - Have a pee then drink a pint of water before bed, it shaves the edge of the morning misery.

Please note from experience if you still feel drunk or unsure you are hung over!

Drinking water sometimes ain't a good idea.

I got on a bus heading to work after a night out. My head was splitting, no moisture in mouth. Infact i was so ill i could not even have a cigarette.

When i got to work, I open a bottle of water and within five minutes of drinking it a was pished again and hungover by lunch time

Polarrball

and the beer you are consuming is being utalised to hydrate your body while the effect of alcohol will dehidrate tor body this may send mixed signals around manafesting its self as a headach

and your urine is dark yellow

Does not drinking water cause headaches?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Drinking too much water can cause brain swelling, which ultimately leads to a dull headache as the brain pushes against the bone. While it's (generally) not life-threatening, experts generally agree that if you are urinating more than once every two hours, you are drinking too much water.

Why do you get a headache after drinking?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Alcohol that we drink is essentially ethanol (CH3CH2OH).

In our body, ethanol is metabolized into acetaldehyde by an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). In turn, the acetaldehyde is also metabolized to acetate by acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). These metabolizing enzymes are found in liver. Acetate is used in several biological cycles such as in muscle cells to produce acetyl-CoA etc.


Our headache (and other hangover symptoms) is believed to be caused by this acetaldehyde in our blood. It takes time for our body to metabolize acetaldehyde and this time depends on how much alcohol you drink. Less = shorter^^


In our body's point of view, alcohol is a toxic substance with its toxicity levels closely related to the dosage. Metabolism is a way for our body to breakdown this toxic substance in our system.


Ethanol is a central nervous system depressant and a psychoactive drug so moderate amount of drinking for recreational purposes is very ok!! :)


If you suffer from hangover and headaches after drinking, just wait it out and give your body time to flush the alcohol out. If possible, try not to take analgesic drugs like paracetamol or aspirin to relieve your symptoms as your liver is already busy with metabolizing your alcohol.


Alcohol tends to dehydrate so drink plenty of water and don't skip out on your meals in order to keep your metabolic process active!!


Why do you get brain freezes while eating ice cream?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ice dream or anything cold gives you a brain freeze when it touches the roof of your mouth where there is a blood vessel that connects to your brain. This is why your brain "freezes".

You can put your thumb on the roof of your mouth and the brain freeze normally would go away.

Why do your eyes hurt after using the computer for awhile?

User Avatar

Asked by Taelia

Eyes begin to hurt after a time on the computer because you tend to blink less and so they become dry. So, look away periodically. You can also use liquid tears as needed--avoid the red out variety since you will end up with a rebound feature. Also, if there is a glare to your screen, you can reduce it by adjusting the monitor contrast. Eyes begin to hurt after a time on the computer because you tend to blink less and so they become dry.

Can using oxygen cause headaches?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Breathing oxygen in through a nasal cannula (little prongs in your nose) can cause the membranes to become very dry and irritated. This will cause pain similar to a sinus headache.

Have the doctor order the oxygen to be moisturized. The oxygen will then be pumped through a special water bottle so when it is breathed in it will not be so irritating.
