Migraines

Suffering from migraine pain can stop you from doing even common daily activities. When you suffer from persistent migraines, your focus likely becomes finding relief from the pain. Unfortunately, this is a challenge because over-the-counter medications are not always effective. At Anderson Chiropractic, we have been providing McMurray residents with relief from migraines for many years.

What Causes Migraines?

Migraines are sometimes caused by a misalignment of the spine. Spinal misalignment puts pressure on the base of the skull, which can lead to severe head pain. Chiropractic care is an appealing treatment option for migraine sufferers because it restores the spine’s natural alignment, relieving this pressure.

The relief that you feel from chiropractic care might not happen all at once. It takes more than one adjustment to obtain full relief, but you should feel a bit better with each subsequent adjustment. In some cases, migraines are caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Chiropractic care won’t correct that, but it can still help to reduce the severity of the symptoms you feel, including:

• Debilitating head pain
• Vomiting or nausea
• Sensitivity to light, sound, or smells
• Mood swings

Migraines may become more intense if you’re stressed out. Chiropractic care may help to reduce the tension in your body, which may help to alleviate the migraine symptoms. Our chiropractor might also recommend other treatments, such as massage therapy, hot packs, ice packs, or stretches. All of these work with chiropractic care to produce optimal relief from chronic pain.
