Migraines

Migraine refers to a predominant medical ailment that is primarily associated with severe, recurring headaches and other symptoms. An attack mainly transpires in stages and can last for a few hours or even days. Any head pain, including migraines, affects your sleep, ability to think, and diminishes your overall quality of life. Fortunately, you don't have to let migraines control your life. If you are in or around the Chesapeake area, our team at Chesapeake Wellness Center is here to help. Chiropractic care works to reduce the severity and frequency of your migraines without the need for medications or invasive procedures.

Causes of Migraines 

There are many things that can trigger migraines. Common causes of migraines we see at our clinic include:

• Hormonal changes: Changes in estrogen levels before or during menstrual periods, pregnancy, and menopause, induce headaches in many women.
• Drinks: Some drinks, including alcohol and coffee, can trigger migraines.
• Stress: Stress generated from work or home can activate migraines.
• Sensory stimuli: Bright lights and sun glare can induce migraines. Loud sounds and strong smells like perfumes, paint thinner, and smoke can trigger migraines.
• Medications: Oral contraceptives and vasodilators like nitroglycerin can exacerbate migraines.
• Weather changes: Weather changes or biometric pressure can trigger a migraine.

How Chiropractors Treat Migraines

Dense headaches and migraines can interfere with clarity in thinking, thus impeding formidable decision-making, processing emotions, and carrying out daily routine tasks. Our chiropractor can evaluate, diagnose, and manage migraines and headaches. We offer a wide range of non-invasive treatment options that can help. Our chiropractor often uses spinal decompression and manual adjustments to realign the musculoskeletal system for migraine relief.  

Other treatment options for migraines include:

• Trigger point therapy
• Massage therapy
• Lifestyle counseling
• Nutritional advice
