All about Migraine Headaches ...the migraine headache is.. number 19 of all diseases worldwide causing disability...
Migraine headaches are a common primary type of headache disorder; it is almost certain that this condition has a genetic basis. At present, the migraine headache is ranked by the World Health Organization as number 19 of all diseases worldwide causing disability. Activation of a mechanism deep in the brain causes release of pain-producing inflammatory substances around the nerves and blood vessels of the head. Why this happens, and what brings the process to an end are to a large extent uncertain. Adults with migraine describe episodic attacks with specific features, of which nausea is the most commonplace. Attack frequency is anywhere between once a year and once a week (most commonly once a month). In children, attacks tend to be of shorter duration and abdominal symptoms more prominent. The pain location for a Migraine Headache is typically a severe, one-sided pulsating pain that will last from 4 to 72 hours. This headache is often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, cold hands and sensitivity to sound and sensitivity to light. It should also be noted that the Menstrual headache can also cause pain that is much like that of a Migraine headache, though this will only occur shortly before, during or immediately after menstruation or at mid-cycle (at time of ovulation). The prevalent cause of the menstrual headache is attributed to changes in estrogen levels, though headache treatment is the same as for a migraine. Physicians commonly try to prevent the menstrual headache by small doses of anti-inflammatory drugs before and during the menstrual period. A hysterectomy does not cure menstrual headaches. A migraine can occur with or without an aura; in fact an aura can happen with or without a following migraine.

However, there may be cases where a migraine headache is partly induced or further intensified by sensitive trigger points, and in such cases, trigger point treatmeant with ultrasound will partly alleviate and possibly reduce frequency of occurrence.
| Dear MendMeShop, I have to admit, I fully expected to be retuning my order. (inferno wrap, freezie wrap and ultra sound system) I told my wife "this is a lot of money and if doesn't work I'm sending it back", "I've got 60 days". Well after about 9 days of (2) treatments per day my sever case of Lateral Epicondylitis (tennis elbow) Is almost pain free. I tried wearing the over the counter tendon support brace with absolutely no results. My elbow pain was so bad I couldn't sleep at night and just knew I was going to have to see a doctor. Then I found Mendmeshop.com. I was very impressed with the quality of your wraps, very thick and made form high quality materials. I guess the old adage "you get what you pay for" speaks volumes here. Anyway The Lavender Ultrasound gel is wonderful, again worth every penny. I'm completely sold on your products and won't be returning anything!!! Thank you for helping heal my tennis elbow and I've already told many of my friends about your web site. 100% satisfied Cameron Caldwell from Meriden, KS.
