Migraines and Headaches: How Chiropractic Can Address Migraines And Headaches Naturally

Migraines and headaches can be debilitating. Those who suffer from this type of pain can experience pounding head pain, light sensitivity, nausea, vertigo, blurred vision, vomiting, and fatigue. These symptoms can persist to the point of being able to do nothing more than lay in bed, waiting for symptoms to subside.

Pain of any kind can and will change a person’s demeanor, and migraines are no different. The experiences of migraine sufferers are heart-wrenching, and can lead to loss of job, overall health, and relationships.

We know this because we listen to the stories of our patients. Every day, people pour into our office and share their stories. Thankfully, migraines are one of the most addressable conditions we cross, and have tremendous success in addressing this type of problem.

HOW TO ADDRESS A MIGRAINE OR HEADACHE

Our first step is to recognize that a headache or a migraine is not a “natural” state. Meaning, the person suffering from a migraine was, at one point in life, free of migraines or headaches. But then, something happened. What? What happened that caused this person to now have headaches and migraines? What on earth is causing these migraines?

To answer that question, we run advanced diagnostics to identify exactly what is causing the issue. Is it muscular tension? Structural dysfunction? Dietary issues? Sleep issues? What is it in their life that is causing this dysfunction? We need to answer that question if we hope to have success in addressing the problem.

Once we run all the appropriate diagnostics, we then evaluate the results and decide whether it’s a case we believe we can address, or not. If not, then we will try to refer out to someone we believe can help. If we believe we can help, then we will explain the issues to the patient, and see if the patient is desirous in working together to address the problem. If so – we get to work!

The research is clear that migraines and headaches can have a very positive response to Chiropractic care. We are happy to report that our results within our clinics reflect the research.

TAKEAWAY: Migraines and headaches are common, but are NOT normal. In many cases, they are addressable through either structural care, or a Functional Medicine approach.
