How a Chiropractor Can Help With Migraines

chiropractor for migraines

Migraines and headaches are quite common. Upwards of 90% of people experience some level of headache to some degree of regularity. For people that have migraines, the problem is much more severe than it is with people that experience headaches that are more commonplace.

With a regular headache, you might be able to take an over the counter medicine and get relief within a few minutes. With migraines, the pain is so intense that it can be debilitating and traditional strategies for addressing the pain will usually have little to no effect.

Migraines can have many causes and they affect different people in different ways. A person that has a migraine may experience sensitivity to light and sound, they might become nauseous and migraine pain is often associated with pain and tension in the neck and back.

If you are a person that has problems with migraines, then regular visits to the chiropractor can help. It has been shown that spinal manipulation is an effective treatment for migraine pain. With treatment from a skilled chiropractor, the intensity of migraines can be reduced and most patients will experience fewer migraines over time.

In treating migraines, the chiropractor will need to examine the patient and question them about their health. To develop a treatment plan, the Doctor of Chiropractic will also need to ask questions about their lifestyle, their work and the specific symptoms and experiences that they associate with the migraine headaches. There are different types of migraines and you also have a variety of triggers that may or may not affect the individual. Once the chiropractor evaluates these different factors, they will then be able to develop a treatment plan that is customized for the issues of the patient.

Regular chiropractic adjustments are also a great way to help treat migraines. In many cases, tension and misalignment contribute to the pain and frequency of migraine headaches. When the spine is not properly aligned, it can affect the nervous system by putting pressure on nerves in the area of the misalignment.

This can then result in pain and soreness in other parts of the body and it can also trigger migraine headaches. Through spinal manipulation, a Doctor of Chiropractic can restore the proper alignment of the spine which can improve the nervous system and can prevent future migraine headaches.

In consulting with a chiropractor for migraines, certain nutritional changes might be recommended. In some cases certain foods can be a trigger for the individual, and there are dietary changes that can help to reduce the risk of migraine headaches. As an additional point, a healthy diet is important for the overall health of the individual. By making certain nutritional changes, your immune system will perform better and the improved health can be another way to prevent the headaches.

The doctor may also recommend stretches and exercise. Exercise is good for your overall health, and there are some exercises that can be used to relieve tension. By maintaining a regular schedule of exercise, the individual can prevent migraine headaches.

I went to Club West Chiropractic for the first time for a dislocated rib, and Dr. Ryan was able to adjust it back into place, and reduce all of the pain by 110%! When I walked in for the first time, the staff already knew who I was. Since then, I've gone back several times and have been greeted by my first name ever since. They are all so friendly and professional. I'd definitely recommend Dr. Ryan and Club West Chiropractic to all of my friends and family!

My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Ally and Dr. Ryan for several months now and we are really happy with our experience; they are professional, yet personable. Their treatment plans are very reasonable, taking into consideration what they are seeing going on with your body, but equally what you are reporting as being an issue and the extent to which it is an issue.
