Migraine Headache Treatment – Can Chiropractic Help Me?

If you experience migraine headaches then you know how debilitating they can be.  Migraine headaches cause severe head pain, nausea, vomiting, visual aura, and can last anywhere from 4 hours to several days.  If you’re suffering from migraine headaches you may have several concerns:

What is causing my migraine headaches?

How long will take to improve my migraine headaches?

What is effective migraine headache treatment?

Who can I trust for the treatment of my migraine headaches?

If you have any or all of the concerns or questions above then a good place to start is reading this article.  I would like to discuss two effective options for migraine headache treatment.

First, misalignment of the vertebra in the neck, particularly the top 3 vertebra, will frequently cause migraine headaches.  Chiropractic adjustments to the top 3 vertebra oftentimes improve the frequency and severity of migraine headaches.  In addition, these treatments can be very effective in shortening the duration of migraine headaches.  These improvements certainly improve quality of life.  How would less severe and less frequent migraine headaches improve your life?

The second migraine headache treatment I would like to discuss involves a common dietary trigger.  Since modifying diet can be more difficult, patients typically will address dietary triggers if the chiropractic treatment does achieve the level of improvement they desire.

Researchers took a population of migraine headache sufferers whose migraines did not respond to any form of treatment.  These patients had tried physical therapy, chiropractic, massage, prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, etc. and none of the treatments improved their migraine headaches.

They had these patients do an elimination diet by taking out one item, gluten.  These patients essentially cut out grains (bread, cereal, pasta, processed foods).  Now, most patients say I don’t want to count out these items.  However, when these patients eliminated gluten from their diet 56% of these patients had complete resolution of their migraine headaches.  Again, these are patients who had complete resolution of migraines in which all previous treatments did not improve their migraine headaches whatsoever.  It is certainly something to consider if you suffer from migraine headaches that do not seem to be responding to treatment.
