Chiropractic Care And Migraines

Chiropractic care or spinal manipulation therapy has been a proven method for persons seeking an alternative for migraine treatment. Studies have shown that in the case of tension and migraine headaches, manipulative therapy can be as effective as preventative medications in helping to keep off the onset of migraines. Once a migraine has begun, chiropractic therapy, a holistic method, can also greatly reduce the painful symptoms if care is given in a timely manner.

Spinal Manipulation

Studies have shown that many migraines originate in the spine, often because of misalignment of the vertebra and then can irritate the nerves that travel the length of the spine to the brain. This misalignment makes a person more prone to chemical imbalances in the brain. Some researchers say that manipulating the vertebrae—a chiropractor’s specialty—relieves the pressure against inflamed nerves and can in turn relieve the headaches. Chiropractic treatment also deals with many of the causative factors to migraines such as relieving the restriction in movement in the neck, muscle tension in the neck, as well as muscle tension in the upper back and shoulders which when not corrected can lead to posture problems that may influence migraine occurrences. If correctly used as a form of preventative migraine treatment periodic adjustments (or spinal manipulations) keep the spine and cervical bones aligned properly to help avoid the onset of migraines in the first place. Studies have even shown that individuals who receive normal periodic adjustments can actually begin to feel when their spine and cervical bones begin to get out of line and a simple visit to the chiropractors office for and adjustment can ward off the onset of migraine symptoms.

Other Holistic Treatments

Chiropractors most commonly use spinal manipulation as the main form of migraine treatment; however, there are other complementary therapies that many chiropractors use along with adjustments in order to holistically treat migraines.  Some other holistic treatments include the use of massage therapy or acupuncture. Massage therapy can be a more relaxing way to deal with tight muscles that may cause migraines. A chiropractor can use ultrasound along with deep tissue massage to allow relief to tight muscles, and many studies have shown that when used alongside spinal manipulation a better outcome for adjustment can be acquired. Acupuncture is another migraine treatment often used within the chiropractic setting. It is important that a properly trained person administer this type of therapy, but the good news is that with pain associated with migraines the effects can last for months, and studies have shown that acupuncture is useful as an additional management or acceptable alternative in regards to pain management.
