How can Chiropractic Treatment Help with Migraines?
When a migraine occurs, cranial blood vessels expand (vasodilation) as opposed to a regular headache where those same blood vessels narrow (vasoconstriction). Surrounding tissues in the brain become swollen and, as you might know firsthand, quite painful. Some people suffer such intense pain from migraines that they throw up and even have trouble with their vision. The first step to any effective migraine treatment is an appropriate diagnosis, but chiropractic treatment is effective for treating many different types of headaches, including migraines.
- Restores proper nervous system communication by ensuring alignment
- Decreases irritation in the nerves that send pain signals to the brain
- Reduces muscle tension, a common trigger for migraine headaches
- Restores normal blood flow
- Unlocks the body’s healing potential
- Strengthens the muscles that support the spine
- Identifies migraine triggers so as to help avoid them

Chiropractic care can help relieve the debilitating symptoms of migraines that can sideline you for a full day or days.
