Understanding migraine pain and how we can help you relieve it with routine chiropractic care.
Headaches are an all too common problem, and there is no need for people who suffer from them to live with the pain. According to research by The International Headache Society headache pain impacts almost 40% of Americans at some point in their life! Unfortunately these headaches can last anywhere between moments or days-depending on how severe they are--and will often come back after previously feeling better due to changes within your body's chemistry.
What Are the Common Symptoms of Migraines?
Migraines happen when one nerve becomes compressed resulting in excessive pains down both sides of your head as well as pressure behind eyes; tension typically only involves tightness across brows but also around eye sockets where muscles that hold "frame of skull" in place attach.
The symptoms are caused by the release of chemicals, which trigger swelling and inflammation; both overactive immune system and inflamed nerve tissues may also be responsible for pain; symptoms may seem like other medical problems.
How Can Chiropractic Care Help with Migraines?
A chiropractic adjustment is a natural solution to the pain of migraines and tension headaches. Chiropractic care can be an alternative treatment for those who suffer from these conditions that relieves their suffering without side effects or addictive qualities, just like prescription medications do OTCs which contain harmful chemicals.
Some of the benefits that chiropractic care provides to migraine sufferers include:
Provides a non-drug alternative for headache relief that doesn't cause unwanted side effects.
Reduces tension in neck and shoulder muscles which may help reduce the frequency of headaches by reducing stress on nerve tissues.
Promotes better overall health by helping your body's ability to heal itself.
Chiropractic care can release the pressure placed on nerve endings within the neck region, which may be one cause of headaches because this pressure restricts blood flow or reduces oxygen.
Through chiropractic manipulation, it is possible to restore normal movement of the vertebrae, which may reduce nerve irritation and allow for better flow of blood and/or oxygen to be re-introduced. In short, chiropractic care helps the body return to a normal state as opposed to taking harmful prescription medications that mask or numb symptoms as opposed to treating the problem itself.
