Head Pain Treatment Protocol
Your Pain >> Q Magnet Prescription for headaches and migraines:
Feedback from many health professionals and customers, informs us that it might be worthwhile to trial Q Magnets for cervicogenic and suboccipital headaches.
Cervicogenic headaches are those that originate in the neck or the back of the head and radiate to front of the head. They are typically accompanied by neck pain and stiffness. This is where the Q Magnets neck placement should be considered. As an alternative to C4, which is often located at the hairline, you can also place a magnet at C1 and C2 which can be tricky to attach as it’s just under the occiput and covered by hair. You can hold the magnet there, tape it on, stick it to a headband or some people will even cut a bit of hair off so they can use the double-sided adhesives.
Suboccipital headaches also originate from the base of the skull where the suboccipital muscles attach the base of the skull to the top of the spine. The best placement is to use a QF28-3 or maybe the smaller QF20-3 centrally over this group of muscles.
In addition, there are acupuncture points that the smaller Q Magnets (Q6-1.5 or QF15-2) can be attached to for cervicogenic or suboccipital headaches. The most common acupuncture point is Gb20, which can be located with the help of your acupuncturist, by palpating or using a trigger point locator.
The second placement is over the occiput or basilar artery which is at the base of the skull – see video below for exact placement. If the migraine or headache originates from the neck, then you will most likely need to follow the Q Magnet prescription for Neck Pain as well.
See the beginning of the Good Medicine program which shows a patient being treated for migraines.
