Migraine Relief: Did You Know a Chiropractor Can Help?

When you consider visiting a chiropractor, you probably think of pain relief for backaches, slipped discs, whiplash, and neck injuries. Of course, it is true, chiropractors can treat these conditions but also many more. What you may not know is chiropractic care is founded on an understanding of helping the body heal itself with the aid of non-invasive treatments, which means chiropractors can treat all sorts of conditions including helping you with migraine relief.

Here the County Line Chiropractic Medical and Rehab team explains how they treat migraines. Keep in mind that every individual is unique and so are migraines, which means diagnosis and treatment are unique as well.

Migraines – The Diagnosis

Migraines are defined as recurring, throbbing headaches which result in moderate to severe pain, often affecting on one side of the head. Often causing severe pain, migraines interfere with daily life, particularly when accompanied by other common symptoms of nausea, disturbed vision (blurred vision, flashes of light or auras), and sensitivity to light and noise. Again, because everyone is unique, signs and symptoms of migraines can vary but often include:

• Severe pain on only one side of the head
• Distorted or blurred vision
• Flashes of light or auras
• Sensitivity to light and/or sound
• Nausea or vomiting
• Lightheadedness
• Dizziness
• Malaise (an unexplained feeling of discomfort)

At County Line Chiropractic, your chiropractor will diagnose the cause of your headache during your initial consultation. You’ll first be asked about your medical history and your ongoing symptoms. Next, your chiropractor will perform a thorough examination (neurological, orthopedic, physical, and chiropractic) with digital x-rays as needed to come up with the best, personalized treatment for migraine relief.

Following Your Migraine Diagnosis

Following a diagnosis of migraines, your chiropractor will develop a customized migraine relief treatment plan. Spinal misalignment can cause migraines and your plan will include non-invasive chiropractic treatment featuring gentle pressure and minimal force on your neck, thus enhancing nervous system function and reducing spinal misalignment. Research has shown that spinal manipulation (chiropractic treatments) is an effective treatment for migraines and tension headaches.

In fact, studies show that the majority of migraine sufferers garner noticeable improvement following a series of chiropractic treatments. In addition, chiropractors can provide nutritional advice, including the vitamins which can help, as well as guidance on relaxation techniques, posture, exercises, and ergonomics to help relieve your migraines.

Monitoring Your Progress

After your initial treatment, your chiropractor will monitor your progress with follow-up visits to ensure you continue to find migraine relief, feel healthy and well, and enjoy a better quality of life. Chiropractic care may be the solution you need to help manage your migraine symptoms safely and effectively with a custom plan designed exclusively for you.
