Headaches or migraines are a type of cephalalgia related to the vascular system.
Headaches vary in frequency and intensity and usually appear on one side of the head. They may also be accompanied by other symptoms such as dizziness, vomiting, blurred vision, or sensitivity to light, which is why some people feel the need to remain in silence and darkness.
Arteries are naturally flexible and should not experience narrowing or dilation for proper blood flow.
For example, imagine a water balloon—if we press one end, the area under pressure will restrict the free movement of the liquid. This is similar to what happens in the arterial system and blood vessels that supply the head when migraines occur.
The right brachiocephalic artery, one of the arteries that supply the brain, carries oxygen from the heart and travels through the cervical foramen to the base of the skull to reach the brain. However, it becomes compressed by the cervical vertebrae, causing other blood vessels to expand to maintain blood flow.
La Terapia Cráneo-Sacral ( TCS) is highly beneficial in this process. By decompressing the anterior and posterior neck muscles, applying specific techniques to release tension, and gently unlocking the cervical vertebrae, we can free the brachiocephalic artery. This helps regulate the mobility of the cranial vault bones and balance the Líquido Cefalorraquídeo (CSF), ensuring proper structural movement.
It is important to note that tension headaches and other conditions can be aggravated or caused by the consumption of white sugar, caffeine, drugs, heavy metals, and other toxic substances found in the food industry and the environment, as well as vaccines, food intolerances, and radiation.
