How Chiropractic Can Help with Migraines

If you suffer from migraines, you are not alone. About 12 percent of the American population suffers from this common type of headache, according to the National Library of Medicine. Fortunately, chiropractors in Santa Barbara now provide migraine pain relief to the Californians who suffer from these debilitating headaches.

Migraines and Pain Management

If you are like some migraine sufferers, you see flashing lights or zigzag lines just before a migraine starts; you may even have a hard time seeing. Migraines are a type of headache that cause recurring attacks that bring moderate to severe throbbing or pulsing, usually on one side of your head. You may experience sensitivity to light and sound during a migraine. Migraines may occur frequently, and can cause symptoms for 4 to 72 hours without treatment.

Many things can trigger a migraine, including stress, anxiety, lack of food or poor nutrition, lack of sleep, and exposure to light. Hormonal changes may trigger migraines in women. Poor posture increases the likelihood of developing a migraine headache, as poor posture puts generalized stress on the entire body.

While medications such as Botulinum toxin A may relieve or prevent migraines, many people prefer to avoid these drugs. Chiropractic is an effective, drug-free pain management tool for migraine sufferers.

Research shows chiropractic care is an effective pain management technique to control migraines. Your chiropractor at Advanced Chiropractic Group can perform spinal manipulation to improve the function of your spine in a way that alleviates stress on your system. Your chiropractor can also offer advice on posture and provide training in exercise and relaxation techniques that can reduce the frequency and severity of migraines.
