Chiropractic Care for Migraines

How can chiropractors help with migraines?

Migraines can be triggered by a variety of factors, including certain foods, hormonal fluctuations, stress, lack of sleep, environmental changes, and sensory stimuli.

Our treatment for migraines takes a holistic approach that centers on the alignment and function of the spine, particularly the cervical spine, and its influence on the nervous system. We begin with a comprehensive assessment, considering your medical history and lifestyle, and conduct physical examinations to identify any dysfunctions in the spine that could impact nerve pathways.

Chiropractic adjustments relieve migraines by addressing misalignments in the spine, particularly the cervical region, which impact nerve pathways and blood flow associated with migraine triggers. By restoring proper alignment, adjustments enhance nerve communication, reduce nerve irritation, and modulate pain signals. Additionally, our work’s impact on blood flow and circulation, along with its ability to relax tense muscles, contribute to alleviating headache and migraine symptoms.

If muscular tension is a contributing factor, we use techniques such as myofascial release to ease tension in muscles around the neck and shoulders, contributing to migraine relief.
