Almost every person that I have talked to in my professional career has either dealt with or knows someone who regularly deals with headaches. Unfortunately, migraines aren’t typically a one-time occurrence and most people tend to suffer from them on a regular basis once they get one. So what causes these often debilitating headaches?
Well, the list of causes is a lengthy one and most sufferers will have multiple factors that can be linked to their headache. Headache can be caused by genetic or hereditary factors, blood pressure issues, dental problems, dietary sensitivities, hormone imbalances or changes, unmanaged emotional or physical stress, and so on.
Common Treatments of Migraine
Common treatments typically consist of first identifying the triggering factors and attempting to correct or manage those. If that doesn’t relieve the migraine headache symptoms then the usual next step is for people to find the best pain relief regimen and hope for the best.
The worst part about migraines is that very often they highly affect one’s daily activities, as more times than not these headaches are accompanied by other debilitating symptoms (nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, etc.). Does the onset of migraines thus mean that you will forever be committed to a life of pain pills and living in a quiet, dark dungeon or cave while hoping for some semblance of relief? Not necessarily.
Why not let chiropractic help for Migraine?
Our Doctors have seen great responses with migraine patients in both better-managing the condition and in some cases even correcting for the condition in its’ entirety. How do we do this, you ask. Well first, we go away from the treatment the pain symptoms model and treat the body as a whole, working to help your body adapt better to ALL stress through a healthier and higher functioning nervous system. Better nervous system function means that your body will be better able to cope with each and every one of the many causes of migraines.
How does chiropractic care help with migraine?
Chiropractic care is one of the best ways to handle, manage, and relieve pain caused by migraines and severe headaches. Regular chiropractor care helps patients a lot who are suffering from tension headaches and migraines with safe, non-surgical, and without any addictive prescription. It provides over-the-counter pain medicines, which are mainly recommended to the patient to manage their pain.
Hence, chiropractors provide a gentle, non-addictive, and non-invasive therapy which is known as chiropractic adjustment. This therapy reduces joint pain and misalignments in the spine and many other joints in the body. As a result, it reduces inflammation and boosts the function of both the affected joint and the nervous system. Hence, it increases joint mobility, improves your nerve system function, spinal alignment, makes your body stronger to handle, and manages the pain caused by migraines and tension headaches. The extensive care of any chiropractor will definitely help to provide relief from severe migraines.
Benefits of chiropractic care to reduce migraine are:
· Decreased pain and discomfort
· Reduced inflammation
· Provide Relief from tension disorders and stress
· Boost physical function and its performance
The right chiropractor will examine your medical history. He/she may refer you for diagnostic imaging such as X-ray or MRI, if necessary. After the result of your medical reports, the professional chiropractor will discuss all the outcomes with other healthcare professionals such as massage therapists, physical therapists, and other primary care physicians to provide the best services and care.
It is really that simple. The power that made the body (the power from the nervous system) is the power that
heals the body! Let us make sure that your power is turned on with Health Quest Chiropractor.
