Headache And Migraines

According to the American Migraine Foundation, it’s estimated that a minimum of 39 million Americans suffer from recurring migraines, and this isn’t factoring in the number of individuals who experience frequent headaches. While life’s stressors contribute, your exercise level, diet, sleep, and hydration, among other factors, also play a role.

The standard treatment for headaches or migraines is either an over-the-counter or prescription medication. With medication, though, comes the possibility of side effects. So if you’d like another choice, a natural, non-medicated one, our chiropractor can help through an array of treatment options customized to your unique situation.

General Information About Headaches and Migraines

Headaches and migraines are two separate issues. Headaches are just pain, while migraines cause pain and other symptoms, such as a sensitivity to light. Migraines also tend to be more severe.

You could develop headaches from stress, poor diet, excessive caffeine use, medication, medication cession, and a lack of sleep, to name a few examples. Often, a headache, particularly a tension headache, arises from chemical activity in the blood vessels, nerves, or brain. On the other hand, you may have spasms in one of the muscles in your neck that trigger headaches. Both neck and shoulder pain can cause a headache or exasperate a current one.

Migraines are a bit more intense and have a wider range of contributing factors, though many causes are the same, like stress and poor diet. Studies also have linked a high rate of occurrence of musculoskeletal dysfunction in patients with chronic migraines.

How Our Chiropractic Care Can Help

Your nervous and musculoskeletal systems work closely together, so it’s not surprising that dysfunction in one causes pain in the other. At our practice, our goal is to have these two systems working in perfect harmony, alleviating any dysfunction that could be attributed to a problem in one. And, ultimately, that means less pain, including that from headaches and migraines, for you.

If you’re ready to experience what fewer headache and migraine days feel like, contact Awaken Chiropractic today by calling 801-505-9052.
