post-traumatic headache...

As expected, a headache may very well occur after an injury to the head, neck or brain. It is also quite common for other symptoms to occur after a head injury such as dizziness, insomnia, lack of concentration and more. The occurence of these conditions, including a headache, is known as the post-traumatic syndrome. A painful headache is usually the most overwhelming post-traumatic condition following a head injury. In most cases, the post-traumatic headache will closely resemble the symptoms of a tension headache. In some cases, a typical Migraine with or without aura may be triggered.

Women have a higher risk of incurring a post-traumatic headache, and the older a person is, the slower the recovery. There is quite a bit of controversial data surrounding injury severity and headache severity, but most studies conclude that post-traumatic headache is less likely to arise when the head injury is more severe.

Acute and Chronic Post-traumatic Headache

If you have suffered a head or neck injury, it is very important that you seek medical attention immediately. Some headaches caused by head trauma, can be a sign of a more serious problem such as a haematoma (bleeding in the brain). A haematoma has been known to occur even on considerably minor head traumas and it is very important to seek medical help immediately

Both the chronic and acute post-traumatic headaches are diagnosed when a headache occurs following moderate to severe head injury and a couple other conditions are met such as, loss of consciousness (30 minutes or more), post-traumatic amnesia or skull fracture, for example. The headache will have developed within 7 days of the injury as well. The acute post-traumatic headache will end within 3 months of the traumatic event whereas a chronic headache will continue beyond this timespan.

Headache due to Whiplash Injury

Headaches attributable to a whiplash injury are classified in the same was as the Post-Traumatic Headache (see paragraph above). Whiplash, defined as the sudden and significant acceleration/deceleration movement of the neck, can be partially alleviated by ultrasound application across the upper trapezius muscles in the back of the neck.

BFST™ - Using Your Body's Natural Healing System

Your body can heal itself! In fact, your body starts healing itself the moment you are injured and it's the blood in your body that makes it all happen. Your blood is the transport mechanism for everything that is good inside you. It carries oxygen, nutrients, water and antibodies. Proper blood flow is essential to healing. Unfortunately, when you injure your body you stop moving and the swelling sets in. That means your vital blood flow can be reduced to a trickle! If you want to heal quickly, you need to keep your blood moving and that's where Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™, or BFST™, comes in.

Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™ promotes the flow of blood through the injured area without the need to exercise your already damaged tissue. You can really feel it work. Within moments of applying an Inferno Wrap™ you can feel the healing sensation and the increase in blood flow. During a treatment, and for quite some time after you finish, your injured area will experience increased blood flow even though your body is at rest. It's a soothing sensation and extremely effective. With BFST™ your injury is constantly being fed with healing, nutritious, oxygen and energy filled blood. This is exactly what your body needs to heal.

Inferno Wraps™ have been specifically designed for the treatment of deep, soft tissue injury. Inferno Wraps contain a patented Energy Web™ which is flexible and shaped to conform to your body. This Energy Web™ emits a uniform wave of perfectly safe electro-magnetic energy over its entire surface. This energy travels deep inside your body and stimulates the blood flow needed to heal your injury.
