Boxtel Chiropractors May Relieve Migraines

When a severe migraine headache hits, it's almost like the rest of the world ceases to exist. The intensity of the pain makes many people lie in a darkened room and does little else. Working or taking care of children is excluded. It is not even possible to hold a thought for more than a few seconds without the migraine's improper grip taking over. Fortunately, Boxtel chiropractors are able to provide relief from migraines without drugs or other invasive procedures.

When someone gets into this state, they will do just about anything to escape. Even the strongest pain medication with the most unwanted side effects is welcome if it relieves the pain. People who refuse routinely prescribed medication often change their tune when they are in the throes of a bad migraine headache.


MIGRAINE HEADACHE

Many people tend to call any intense headache a migraine, but a true migraine adheres to some exact criteria. Typically, a migraine is less common than a tension headache, registering from moderate to severe on the pain intensity scale. It's a recurring headache that lasts between four hours to three days, and affects more females than males.

For someone to be considered a "migraine sufferer," they must have at least five separate episodes lasting for the prescribed periods listed above. The headache should also have at least two of the following: pulsating pain, unilateral location, nausea or vomiting, visual or auditory sensitivity, and aggravation of the headache due to physical activity. Many migraine sufferers, roughly 20 percent, will see visual aura before a migraine headache sets in. This early warning system helps let them know what is going to happen, but does not reduce the intensity.


CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT

Seeking migraine treatment with a Boxtel chiropractor will give you a full assessment and evaluation to determine exactly what's happening to your head and spine. You may need X-rays or other tests to get as complete a picture as possible before starting treatment.

Your chiropractor will likely make spinal adjustments to relieve pressure or stress that may be contributing to your migraine pain. Spinal adjustment can also improve blood flow and help reduce pain. If you have been diagnosed with dietary triggers that are contributing to the intensity of your migraines, your chiropractor can provide nutritional advice to help clear those triggers. Advice on your posture and various relaxation techniques will also be part of the treatment plan.
