The last thing someone dealing with a headache wants to do is spend time examining each aspect of their pain to determine if they’re suffering from a headache or a migraine. They usually just want to find the nearest renaissance fair so they can place their head in the guillotine. As a chiropractor for migraines in Oxnard, CA I know, however, that being able to tell the difference can expedite care and provide for faster and longer-lasting relief. Getting to the root cause of a migraine or headache will also inform a chiropractor which strategy will prevent the headache from ever returning. How does a pain-free life sound?
There are various identifying factors of both migraines and headaches, what they share in common and what makes them different.
No matter if you’re dealing with a headache or a migraine the only way to achieve permanent pain relief is by addressing the underlying issue. No amount of medication can fix a structural problem. We can’t always feel or see issues, that’s why having a chiropractor take regular inventory of our spine goes a long way to preventing, not just headaches and migraines but, inflammation that can lead to much more serious diseases.
