Chiropractic Care for Migraine Relief: What You Need to Know

If you are one of the 39 million people in the United States suffering from migraines you know how difficult it can be to function normally during one. Many doctors prescribe medication to either prevent migraines or treat the pain, but the side effects of these medications can be unpleasant and significant. Migraines are the third most common illness in the world and the sixth most disabling. If you find yourself suffering from migraines in Lakewood Colorado, there are other treatment options available to you. Here is what you need to know to treat your migraines with the help of a chiropractor. 

 

Spinal Adjustments 

 

It is becoming more common for people to seek help from a chiropractor for migraines. When your spine is not properly adjusted, the nerves that run from your spinal cord out to the body can be affected. Spinal manipulation or chiropractic adjustments to improve spinal function and alleviate stress can significantly improve the pain and reoccurrence of migraines. Your chiropractor may perform adjustments or manipulations to the spinal vertebrae to realign anything out of place that could be the cause of your migraines. Minor movements of the spinal vertebrae improve the overall systematic function of nerves and muscles, in turn bringing relief to your headaches.

 

If you spend large amounts of time in one fixated position, such as in front of a computer or at a desk, try to take a break and get some movement every 30 minutes or so. This combined with regular chiropractic care can realign your spine and aid in the alleviation of migraines.

 

Nutritional Advice 

 

Your chiropractor can also provide you with helpful nutritional advice that can minimize your migraines. Living in Lakewood, we all lead fairly healthy lifestyles, but nutrition can play a larger role in preventing headaches and migraines than some realize. Diet changes and possibly the addition of B complex vitamins might be recommendations made by a chiropractor after initial consultation and treatment. Chiropractors undergo extensive training to help patients beyond just adjustment. 

 

Acupuncture 

 

Did you know acupuncture can aid in the relief of migraines as well? Chiropractic care and acupuncture often work hand in hand in a wellness plan. Acupuncture is meant to keep the balance along the spinal meridians. An acupuncturist will place needles along with specific pressure points, typically along the neck and down the spine, to help send signals of healing and pain relief to the brain. It is suggested to receive at least six treatments, once a week, to experience relief from migraines.
