Drysdale Osteopathy Glasgow

David is the best there is. His skill is rare. I have been to David over the years for various ailments including long covid headaches, a shoulder injury which gave me years of pain and which David solved in a couple of sessions, perimenopause aches and recurring back problems. The great thing about David is he assesses the situation and then uses various methods including manipulation, dry needling, massage and cranial sacral massage to find the best way to eradicate and ease the pain. I know various tv and film stars visit David when in Glasgow. He’s the best in the world. And I’m so thankful to have found him.

Medication Overuse Headaches.

When a person has used Analgesics or Anti-Inflammatories for a long time, it may be that the medication is causing the headache.

There is a period of withdrawal of 12 to 24 hours, and the headache returns, the person takes the medication as usual, the headache clears, and then returns 12 to 24 hours later. And the pattern continues.

Medications such as codeine, co-codamol, paracetamol, aspirin, ibuprofen and diclofenac are known to cause Medication Overuse Headaches.

When this type of headache is suspected, it's best trying to go without medication for a couple of days and see if the condition resolves. If this is too much, speak to your Pharmacist about an alternative medication.
