Headache & Migraine Relief

According to the International Headache Society, headaches affect close to 40 percent of the American population. And if you are one of these migraine suffers, you know just how painful and disruptive they can be. Frequent or not, you don’t have to live with head or neck pain caused by migraines and tension headaches.

Migraines and tension headaches are a result of muscle contractions in the head or neck region. Bright screens, loud music, or lack of food and water can trigger one of these unpleasant aches, but there is a natural and drug-free solution.

What Can Cause Headaches and Migraines?

A migraine arises when the blood vessels in the head expand, which causes the tissue around the brain to swell. This swelling is excruciating and causes those suffering from migraines to vomit, become sensitive to light, and experience visual disturbances. Migraines are more than a headache. Often, painkillers are not enough to help stop them. When a migraine hits, seeking help from a chiropractor can give you much-needed relief from pain without using drugs.

How Can Chiropractors Help Headaches and Migraines?

Chiropractic care is a great way to control and relieve pain caused by migraines and tension headaches. Regular appointments to the chiropractor can provide those suffering from migraines and tension headaches a safe alternative to the go-to treatment of prescription medications or over-the-counter pain medications.

Chiropractic adjustments can help reduce joint restrictions or misalignments in the spine and other joints in the body. These adjustments help reduce inflammation and improve the function of both the affected joint and nervous system. When you improve joint mobility, the nervous system function, and spinal health, you can help your body manage the pain caused by migraines and tension headaches.
