Migraines
Migraine headaches afflict
many people. Migraine symptoms include severe pain on one
side of the head that can last for days and can include nausea
and sensitivity to light. While many treatments address
the symptoms, chiropractors view addresses the cause of the
pain.Chiropractors view
migraines as caused by pressure on nerve endings in the head
resulting from a chemical imbalance in the brain. Since the
brain controls the entire body’s function by communication
through the nervous system, any interference to this
communication effects the body. If any spinal bones, which
protect the nerves, get misaligned, there is a negative effect
on the body’s systems. Muscles attached to spinal bones
overreact and become spastic and irritated because the nerves
stretch and become traumatized. Headache pain can easily result
from these imbalances.
By making sure the vertebrae are
moving correctly, the muscles that support the head are relieved
of stress and spasms. The pain is diminished as the
structure of the spinal bones of the neck is improved. |
