Do you suffer from persistent migraines or headaches?
If you’ve ruled out anything serious, you’re probably taking medication to manage your symptoms as they arise.
But medication isn’t for everyone — especially if it has unpleasant side effects or doesn’t work as well as it needs to.
Chiropractic or acupuncture could offer a drug-free way to get more lasting relief and reduce the frequency of episodes.
Head pain can be so intense, you feel like you can’t think or move. In some cases, light and noise become intolerable.
You might know when a migraine is coming. Maybe it’s shimmering or zig-zag lines in your vision. Maybe your hands go numb or you feel like your brain is misfiring.
Then the pain. Pulsating. Nauseating.
Sometimes the pain comes from nowhere. Like a jackhammer throbbing in your head. Or thousands of needles stabbing your brain.
Maybe it’s a constant feeling of low-level pressure. And the dread of never knowing when it will spike into a full-blown migraine.
Headache pain can present in many ways. It could be the unbearable tightness of tension headaches. Sinus pressure that makes you feel like your head is full of water. Or an intense, sharp pain behind your eyes.
Chiropractic can help with migraines by identifying and targeting the root cause. This might involve:
• Improving posture and relieving tension in the muscles
• Easing the sensitivity, discomfort and nausea migraines cause
• Restoring alignment in the neck and spine to reduce nerve irritation
• Looking for underlying causes, like certain foods and lifestyle factors.
Migraines often have an inflammatory root cause. To address the underlying issue, you may benefit from improving your sleep, drinking more water, taking supplements or cutting certain foods from your diet.
After treatment and following my advice, most patients experience a reduction in the frequency and/or severity of their migraines.
Some experience long-term relief after the initial sessions, while some find they need further treatments, periodically.
Chiropractic can help with frequent headaches by identifying and targeting the root cause. This might involve:
• Restoring normal movement in the neck or back
• Releasing tension and stiffness from tight muscles
• Improving posture and reducing strain on the spine
• Looking for underlying causes, like spinal stress, muscle issues, foods and lifestyle factors.
With treatment and recommendations to try at home, the majority of patients achieve long-term or permanent relief.
