Migraines

Migraines are one of the most common problems dealt with by healthcare providers, and are due to changes in the brain and surrounding blood vessels. They may be triggered by a variety of issues, including food sensitivity, smoking, birth control pills and stress and tension.

Many migraine sufferers have a physical warning before the migraine begins, and this may be a change in mood, a strange taste or smell, difficulty concentrating, visual disturbances, fatigue and muscle tension. The severe and throbbing pain of a migraine usually appears on one side of the head and may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and light and sound sensitivity.

Chiropractic care is reported to have positive effects in reducing the severity and frequency of migraine headaches, particularly in those patients whose migraines are linked to neck pain and tension. The amount of medication required by migraine sufferers is often reduced during and following chiropractic care.
