Migraines remain one of the more mythical elements of the chiropractic world. They are pulsating, throbbing, perforating, pounding headaches that are accompanied by a slew of “delightful” symptoms. The thing that separates migraines from other headaches is their symptoms - the pre-migraine warning symptoms, the aura, sensitivity to light, smells, and sound. There are neurological implications of migraines and we’ve identified certain triggers - an event, change, external stimulus, or physical act - that provoke migraine attacks.
1. Stress
2. Smells
3. Lights and Sounds
4. Female Hormones
5. Lack of Sleep
6. Hunger or Dehydration
7. Foods
8. Alcohol
9. Medication Overuse
10. Weather
It’s important to understand which of these triggers, or multiple triggers, affect you. Identifying and treating migraines as early as possible, not just covering up the symptoms, will help to minimize their effects and prevent them from returning in the future. Our body’s inability to adapt is an indication that our nervous system is impeded in some way. We specialize in correcting the structural issues in the spine that are interfering with the nervous system’s ability to do its job, which can result in pain and dysfunction throughout the body.
