Omaha Headache Migraine Specialists

The Omaha Headache is excited to announce they are starting a four part "Headache Workshop" series. During these 4 workshops suffers will learn factual and effective tips and tricks to help with their headaches. Since most headaches are multi-faceted, we have tailored our workshops as such. Each workshop will cover something different and each person will have an opportunity to "talk with the doc".

Being a headache sufferer herself, Dr. Johnson is passionate about helping people suffering from headaches without the use of medications that just mask symptoms (although she understands medications are sometimes unavoidable). Dr. Johnson has been on every cocktail of medications available for over 20 years. She finally was able to get rid of her headaches with specialized rehabilitation (without harmful and draining medications) which she now utilizes. She been headache free since 2002!

If you are interested in becoming headache-free attend our workshop series. We charge $25 for this entire series.

Omaha Headache Clinic

The Omaha Headache Clinic specializes in treating migraines and chronic headaches. I had a guy ask me on tuesday if we only treated "really bad headaches". I asked him what he thought "really bad" was. He told me his secretary has headaches that make her sick and she has to go home. I told him "that is a really bad headache".

We treat all types of headaches here. What might seem like a "really bad" headache to one person might not be all that terrible to another. Each headache is different but they all share one common denominator: They hurt.

If you are suffering from headaches, call us today! 402-933-5392
The Omaha Headache Clinic is located at 184th& Center in front of Lowe's.

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.

Those suffering headaches seem to have many other problems pop up once their headaches come under control. One problem we see is low back pain.

Maybe the headache pain is so much worse than the back pain, that once the headache is gone, you can start to feel the back pain. Maybe.

But what about the biomechanics behind the headache in the first place. When someone has headaches, often there is a biomechanical problem. We see the head in front of the body, which stresses the muscles at the base of the skull, irritating the nerves, creating the headache. But why low back pain?

Low back pain can start from headaches. What?! Get real, right. Wrong. Because of this anterior head carriage (head in front of the body), the body responds by flexing the spine, including the lumbar spine (low back). Flexion is one of the worst positions for the low back to be in and one of the most common positions to be in. Now, compound this with a whiplash or auto accident where sitting in the car flexes the back. You are sitting and getting hit from behind, whipping the head back and forth. This leaves your body vulnerable to serious injuries if not addressed early and properly.

So, when we get rid of your headaches and you start feeling the low back hurt, it isn't too uncommon. That is why at the Omaha Headache Clinic we stress posture education and do something about it.

July 2010

The Omaha Headache Clinic is pleased to be entering their 10 month! The response has been tremendous and our doctors have been able to help many Omaha and Iowa headache suffers! Most have become headache free!

Understanding headaches is key to successful treatment. If, as most are, the headache is misdiagnosed, treatment will probably not be successful. This creates a cycle of chronic headaches, day after day, month after month, year after year. Here, at the Omaha Headache Clinic one of our patients had a headache for almost 60 years. She could not remember what it felt like not to have a migraine. Her headache took about two weeks to get rid of. And another month and a half to permanently get rid of. Not too bad considering she has been to every specialist, has had every imaging available, and has been on every medication!

If you are suffering from chronic headaches and/or migraines, schedule with the Omaha Headache Clinic today. 402-933-5392
