Migraine & Headache Chiropractor
Chiropractor for Migraines
A migraine is a type of headache that can cause severe throbbing pain or a pulsing sensation, usually on one side of the head. It's often accompanied by chronic neck pain, head and face pain, numbness and tingling, and even vision issues and nausea. Migraines can last for hours to days, and the pain can be so severe that it interferes with your daily activities.
According to the Journal of Occupational Trauma, “headaches are more frequently caused by spinal stress than any other condition." That’s why chiropractic care is a great way to manage and relieve pain caused by headaches naturally, because we get to the cause. The origin of the majority of headaches lies in nerve interference or pressure on cranial and spinal nerve roots.
A gentle chiropractic adjustment reduces misalignments in the spine and eliminates nerve interference and pressure in an effort to reduce inflammation and improve function of both the affected area and the nervous system. This helps improve your nervous system function and spinal health so your body can better manage the pain caused by migraines and headaches.
