N8 Upper Cervical Tackling the Growing Threat of Migraines

Migraines are becoming more and more of a problem around the globe. They often come about without warning, leaving the sufferer unable to perform his or her daily activities until the throbbing pain subsides. A study was performed over an 11-year period observing participants and how many migraines they reported. In this time frame, those suffering from migraines increased from 1.1% to 13.2%. This is a large increase and shows how migraines are on the rise and, in the near future, many more people will begin to feel the pain of migraine headaches. 

Is Medication the Right Way to Care for Migraines?

Pharmaceutical companies would like to convince people that medication is the best way to care for migraines. However, this is rarely the case. While medication can help one get through a migraine attack that is presently occurring, there are some things to consider.

• Unless the underlying cause of migraines is addressed, they may continue to happen, leading to the need for more medication. 

• Medications used to care for migraines abound with unwanted and potentially dangerous side effects.

• Rebound or medication overuse headaches can become a problem, resulting in migraines becoming chronic. Changing medications may help temporarily, but rebound headaches occur with almost all pain medications, even those that are sold over-the-counter.

Finding a Natural, Successful Way to Migraine Relief

Migraines are neurological in nature and pain in the area of the head is just one symptom that accompanies this condition. What actually causes a migraine to occur remains a mystery among most medical professionals. However, one thing agreed upon is that a misalignment in the C1 or C2 vertebra can be to blame. 

Seeking the care of an upper cervical chiropractor is the best way to find out if this is the case. If a misalignment is discovered, we will use a gentle method to help the bones realign naturally. Once done, the brain and body will be able to communicate better, and migraines may improve or even go away completely.
