- Headaches and migraines often are the result of pinched nerves from a skeletal misalignment. Chiropractors can adjust the spine and release the pinched nerve to stimulate proper healing.
- Many patients attribute stress as the leading cause of migraines. Chiropractors can relieve stress, through adjustments, which can reduce occurrences. Fewer migraines also require less medication.
- Many patients simply take a pain reliever when suffering from a headache. Drugs only numb your nervous system, so the pain doesn’t register. Routine chiropractic adjustments are a good preventive treatment for headaches and migraines.
- Headache and migraine triggers may include foods, environmental stimuli (noises and lights), and/or behaviors (insomnia, excessive exercise, blood sugar changes, etc.) Chiropractors can provide nutritional counseling.
- Chiropractors also can suggest alternative treatments (e.g. ice, heat, or massage) to help alleviate the immediate pain of the headache or migraine.
