Many people experience different sorts of headaches & tension headaches to unbearable head pain brought by migraine attacks. This pain can affect your physical condition and as well as your daily activities. In most cases, migraine is accompanied by other symptoms such as eye pain, nausea and sensitivity to sounds and light. Migraine sufferers tend to rely on OTC drugs which give short-term relief. Soon as the effect of the medication wears-off the same pain comes back which again is countered by another dose of pain reliever. Unknown for many, these drugs only works short-term and deals only with the symptoms, not the real cause of your pain.
Why do you experience Migraine attacks?
Headaches and migraines can be due to a misalignment of a spinal vertebra in your back. Misalignment causes tightening of muscles in your upper shoulders and neck, a combination of these two then causes compression on the nerves and a growing headache.
Neck tension is also one of the key causes of migraines. This is usually due to spending a lot of time in a single fixed position - working on the computer, too many hours standing or sitting and very little sleep. People too busy with work tend to ignore early warning signs for the body's call for movement and goes through a habitual posture decline. A migraine headache is your body's call for help and it means that more serious issues should be addressed.
Chiropractic Treatment for Migraines
Chiropractic treatments are one of the safest and most effective methods of correcting or realigning the spine to address health issues and symptoms such as migraine and chronic pain. Adjustments made during treatments help relieve pressure on the nerves and ease tension headaches. You will also be able to relax tightened muscles through massage therapy to further relieve pain.
Chiropractors may also use cranial adjustment techniques which uses very light touches on areas of the face and head to offer significant relief. This kind of technique helps lessen or remove abnormal nerves around the bones of your skull to provide normal motion as well as correct circulatory and lymphatic functions.
Chronic migraine sufferers can take advantage of consistent chiropractic care to minimize attacks as every tension in the spine area are tackled and corrected. Nerves which have been blocked for a long time will be relieved and receive lesser stimuli as you continue with your treatment. Pressure on these nerves is also released and eventually, the body will achieve a corrected state and sufferers will have fewer migraine attacks as time goes by.
