Low Back Pain and Headaches. Is there a connection

We decided to post this blog about low back and headaches, is there a connection, because we've been seeing many people that have both.

In today's world, most people sit for a living. They sit at a computer or desk, stare at a computer. Then after work, most often people rush home, sit down to eat and then veg out in front of the T.V. to wind down.

For headache suffers, this is one of the worst positions one could possibly be in! Not only does it create headaches, it creates low back pain.

Here, at the Omaha Headache, we see many people that have both. Often those people that have both, their headache will be the worse of the two, minimizing the pain of the low back pain. Once their headaches are gone, sometimes they realize how much the low back does hurt.

So, the posture of the low back can definitely affect headaches!

Omaha Migraine Clinic

Statistics show that a substantially higher percentage of women suffer from migraines than men. The Migraine Special Issue www.ebandolier.com shows a range for women of between 11.9% and 21.9% and for men between 4.0% and 8.2%. The weighted mean prevalence for women was 17% and for men was 6%.

An average of three weeks are lost every year by female migraine sufferers incapacitated by their condition, kept from attending work or school and often missing family and social events.
Three quarters of these women feel they lack control over their lives, they feel misunderstood and say they must often face the cynicism of people near them because of their condition. Their suffering can be compounded by isolation and a lack of understanding from those close to them, either at home or at work.
Many have never consulted a health care professional about their headaches. Among those who have, many report being not wholly satisfied with their current medication either in terms of its ease of use, its convenience or its effectiveness.

According to the Vicoria Headache Clinic in Vicoria, B.C., women who have had children routinely present with a greater difference in the heights of the posterior superior iliac spines than in women who have not had children. It is our contention that the pelvic girdle can potentially be pulled further out of alignment during the final trimester by the imbalanced musculature of the buttock and lower back areas as the joints of the pelvis prepare for delivery.
This suggests the probabability of higher levels of compensation above the pelvis in order to keep the torso neck and head upright and facing forward.
