Are you suffering from migraines that seem to happen all the time? Do they happen at the same time and same day every week? If you are experiencing reoccurring migraine headaches don’t worry, there is a treatment that can help to relieve your pain.

Some people believe that the cause of migraine headaches can be attributed to abnormal levels of dopamine and serotonin, which are common chemicals found in the brain. These chemicals can cause the blood vessels to change which can lead to migraines. Additionally, changes in blood flow to the brain can be caused by spasiming of the vessels that lead directly into the brain. These changes can cause severe amounts of pain. Once a migraine trigger is experienced, and combined with the blood constrictions that is already being experienced, a migraine headache is sure to happen.

Migraine Triggers

There are several different types of headaches which can include cluster headaches, tension headaches, sinus headaches, and of course the dreaded migraine headaches. Each type of headache has its own set of unique triggers. For migraine headaches, common triggers may include:

• Experiencing motion sickness during various forms of travel
• Being a smoker or being exposed to large amounts of smoke, both cigar and cigarette
• Experiencing high amounts of stress, increasing after a high stress event or following an event that caused high amounts of adrenaline
• Being exposed to intense perfumes or smells which may include cleaning products and essential oils
• High amounts of physical exertion that could but heavy strain on the body
• Changing levels in hormone activity which might happen during menopause, pregnancy, or the menstrual cycle or if hormone replacement therapy is being used such as birth control
• Exposure to intense levels of fluorescent or flickering lights, intense sunlight or sun glare
• Abuse of pain medications that can result in rebound head pain
• Recently changing your sleeping or eating habits, this may include fasting, changes in times that you eat, dieting, skipping meals, changing your sleeping on weekends, and sleeping too little or too much
• Certain foods may be triggers such as smoked foods, alcohol, chocolate, eggs, processed meats, pickled foods, aged cheeses, caffeinated drinks, artificial sweeteners, salami, and hot dogs

If you are experiencing chronic migraine head pain it might be suggested that you begin to record a journal of your migraine episodes. Each record should identify your symptoms, possible triggers, and the actions that occurred leading up to the migraine happening. This may help to identify a pattern of triggers that could be causing the start of your migraine pain.

Why Not Treat the Source?

Most providers work to treat the symptoms of your migraine headaches using drugs and prescriptions that you get over the counter. If your migraine pain is caused by triggers, possibly food related or due to improper sleeping habits, a doctor could suggest changing some of your living habits. Other people seek alternative treatments to reduce their migraine pain. These treatments may include meditation, acupuncture, homeopathy, herbs, or massage. Though any of these treatments may provide some temporary relief from your symptoms, there is only one treatment that has been tried by millions, and has successfully treated the source of your migraine headaches and has kept them from coming back – chiropractic care.

The Nervous System

Our Top Rated Chiropractors believe that if there is any issue within the nervous system, the body cannot function properly. This can happen when the bones in the spine become move out of their proper place and become misaligned. Chiropractors are educated in how to find and correctly realign these misalignments without the use of surgery or drugs.
When the bones located in your spine move out of alignment it can be for a variety of reasons. The most common reason is due to the experience of trauma which can happen during a car accident or when falling. Growing up we have all fallen many times and even though pain may not be felt at the time of the incident, the spine has to work to compensate. After it has compensated for an extended period of time, the spine cannot compensate anymore and you experience pain.

Our Top Rated Chiropractors are experienced in treating people suffering from migraine headaches. Treatments are not guaranteed to work for every person, and results are not always seen in the same amounts of time. For some several adjustments may be needed before relief is found.
