Migraines
WHAT IS A MIGRAINE?
A migraine is a headache that causes unsettling symptoms like nausea, extreme light and sound sensitivity, visual disturbances, and lots of pain.
They can be triggered by:
- Tension and stress
- Injuries and accidents
- Spine-related issues
- Poor posture
- Prolonged screen usage (i.e., phones, tablets, laptops)
- Problems that originate in your muscles, tissues, and nerves.
If treatment has never worked, then the source of your pain might stem from issues that traditional doctors overlook, and medications can’t permanently resolve.
HOW CAN A CHIROPRACTOR HELP?
You want the cycle to stop. Chiropractors are trained to identify sources of pain that can be missed by a regular or specialty physician, like problems in your neck, shoulders, and back.
When nerve pain or inflammation in your neck or back are causing your migraines, simple adjustments can be made to realign your spine, opening nerve pathways, so painful symptoms go away.
