Migraines can be one of the most disabling, disruptive, and distracting forms of headache, shutting down your ability to focus on everyday tasks. The reasons why people suffer from migraines isn’t fully understood.
As specialists in chiropractic treatment of headaches and migraines, the team at Active Care Chiropractic & Rehabilitation recommends adjustments to reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine episodes in a completely natural, drug-free way.
Chiropractic care considers your body as a biomechanical mechanism that requires a certain balance of its components to work at peak efficiency. Any distortion or misalignment of the bones of your body can interfere with your body’s ability to repair itself.
The primary goal of chiropractic adjustments isn’t to “fix” problems directly. Instead, we aim to improve your self-healing mechanisms.
Aligning your spine and other joints helps your body to function naturally, including recovery from minor day-to-day injuries, by improving blood flow and reducing pressure on nerve tissue.
It’s thought that your genes and environmental conditions in your life combine to cause migraines.
Migraines tend to run in families. When immediate family members suffer from migraines, you’re at greater risk of suffering from them too. Women are also more likely than men to develop migraines.
Certain conditions that affect your life can trigger migraine episodes, if you’re susceptible to this kind of headache. Common migraine triggers include:
Supplementary hormones like birth control pills cause migraines for some women, while others enjoy a reduced frequency of episodes.
Since pain originates in the dysfunction or injury of sensory nerve tissue, providing optimally balanced conditions for these nerves could reduce the conditions that contribute to migraine pain.
Misalignment of the spine is also a contributor to inflammation in the body, another condition that could cause compression or irritation of nerve tissue. Reducing inflammation through chiropractic adjustment may reduce the burden on nerves involved in migraine episodes.
The elements of healing within your body depend on the delivery of raw materials for healing through the bloodstream. This includes hormones, nutrients, and stem cells, used to create the necessary tissues you need to recover.
The restoration of blood flow that accompanies a chiropractic adjustment also eases inflammation, reducing the imbalances in your body that may contribute to migraines.
If you suffer from migraines, it’s time to give chiropractic adjustments a try. It’s a simple hands-on, drug-free therapy that won’t interfere with other migraine treatments you may currently use.
In fact, chiropractic may reduce your need for other therapies, particularly those using medications with side effects.
