Are there non-medication therapies for headaches?

0

There are many many aspects to treating headaches, and while medications can be very useful, they are just one aspect of headache care. Lifestyle changes such as regular sleep schedule, regular mealtimes and exercise are very important as are recognition of triggers and other medical issues such as sleep agnea, jaw clenching, etc. There is a variety of “non-traditional” therapies that are used in headache treatment, including biofeedback, yoga, and acupuncture. In addition there are non-medicine, traditional modalities such as physical therapy and nutritional analysis and counseling. Developing a treatment plan is a very individualized process and requires close, ongoing collaboration between the patient and healthcare providers.
