Medications are the most common form of treatment for headaches and migraines, but they do not address the underlying cause. Chiropractors are uniquely qualified to help with headaches and migraines because of the relationship between the spine and the nervous system.
The nervous system controls every cell, tissue, and organ in the body. Altered vertebral joint motion and tense muscles can irritate the nerves that send signals between the brain and the body, interfering with communication. This can lead to abnormal pain signals that negatievly affect the nerves, arteries, and veins surrounding the skull as well as tension throughout the back, neck, and jaw. In some people, this causes headaches and migraines.
Dr. Berry uses the ProAdjuster to gently adjust the spine and release tension from the muscles. He also works on specific acupressure points that directly affect headaches and migraines. This combination has been very effective at relieving headaches, and most patients experience at least some degree of immediate relief.
In many people, nerve irritation is not the only cause of headaches and migraines. Stress levels and breathing patterns, posture, sleep, dietary triggers, and other factors can also play a role. That is why Dr. Berry has found that it is effective to use a holistic approach to healing.
Chiropractic is often helpful in addressing stress, tension, and sleep problems associated with headaches. It can also be effective with decreasing nausea sometimes associated with migraines. Home care including working on acupressure points related to your particular headache or migraine pattern can also help to prevent or alleviate headaches between visits.
Home care such as postural and ergonomic corrections, breathing exercises, dietary changes, and nutritional supplements are also important aspects of headache and migraine relief.
