What are Migraines?
Migraines are a type of headache typified by blinding pain. Migraines can cause patients to have sensitivity to light, sound, or even smell. In general migraines are caused by limited oxygen to the brain. This causes pain and difficulty processing things like bright lights, loud sounds, or strong smells. These type of headaches can bring on nausea and vomiting as the brain starts to swell and cause more severe reactions.
What is the cause of Migraines?
There are many factors that can bring on migraine headaches such as hormonal responses, dehydration, iron deficiencies, chemical imbalances, certain drug side effects, and even tumors.
I have heard that chiropractic is helpful for migraines, is it true?
Yes many patients experience relief from migraines through regular chiropractic care. The reason is that poor posture and spinal misalignments can cause pressure on sensitive arteries and nerves in the neck, leading to decreased blood supply and improper function into the brain. These restrictions once removed through chiropractic adjustments allow more blood flow and improved function. This can result in a reduction in both intensity and frequency of migraines.
