What is a migraine?
Migraines are chronic headaches that can cause significant pain for hours or even days. Some migraines are preceded or accompanied by sensory warning symptoms or signs, such as flashes of light, blind spots or tingling in your arm or leg. A migraine is often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound.
How do you treat a migraine?
The treatment for a headache depends on what has caused it. A headache arising from visual problems can most often be cured by eyeglasses. The most common headaches are usually treated with painkillers. This does not get to the cause of the problem but only addresses the symptoms. Of course to someone experiencing a migraine, symptom relief is no small thing. However, aspirin and prescription drugs will only provide relief from the headache but not correct the cause.
Can chiropractic care help?
For centuries chiropractic’s natural and drug-free approach to health has been a blessing to those who suffer from migraines. Chiropractors treat subluxations, which are tiny distortions in your spine and body that affect your nerves, discs, joints and internal organs, including your brain. This common condition can weaken your body, cause fatigue and pain as well as sickness and disease. By correcting subluxations your body can better restore itself, giving it the power to heal itself from the pain of migraines.
