There are a number of treatments for migraine relief on the market and some are safer than others. I recommend to you a choice: consult with your primary care physician to determine which of the following migraine treatment options are best for you and your health:
• Prescription Medications – Triptans and Ergots are the leading drugs for migraine sufferers as they constrict the blood vessels which cause the migraine in the first place. Unfortunately, they also constrict all other blood vessels as well; they were originally designed to help with blood pressure patients. Side effects that can occur from these meds are serious and could be even a heart attack resulting in death. So I take caution when prescribed these pills as your form of migraine treatment; the risk might be to great…you decide.
• Acupuncture – Chinese medicine goes way back and in spite of how odd it may seem, acupuncture brings about some amazing results with very few side effects. According to Chinese medical law, placing a needle along specific energy centers of the body will help aid in the healing of many ailments, including those pesky vascular headaches.
• Massage Therapy – Due to the fact that neck / back tension is a common trigger for the onset of a migraine attack, getting a release from that tension can be the relief from the symptoms and the migraine itself. Yet be warned, a deep-tissue or Swedish massage will actually cause more harm than good. A trained massage therapist will not focus on the big muscle groups but the small muscle group that run along the neck down to the base of the spine called the sub-occipital.
Triggers And Symptoms Of A Migraine
Triggers have been determined as the catalysts for the chronic neurological, vascular condition most commonly known as migraines. Once the trigger is encountered, vessels of blood in the brain begin to enlarge and expand in their size and viscosity. This causes a chemical to be released out into the brain wreaking havoc on the arteries and causing immense, unilateral pain in the head with a variety of other symptoms. Some of the symptoms might include: dizziness, vomiting, blurred vision, blindness in one eye, nausea, constipation and even loss of motor function and cognitive reasoning. These and other symptoms will not stop and cease their trouble on the sufferer’s life until the blood vessels that started all of this return back to their original size and position.
