Migraine Phases

When it comes to understanding migraines, it is important to learn how the condition develops and the symptoms it causes. Migraines typically grow in phases, which include initial pre-impact symptoms that create irritability, fatigue, and difficulty reading or concentrating. As the migraines increase, you may experience flare-ups, auras, and pain that lasts a few days. Afterwards, there is a recovery phase, which can cause exhaustion and the inability to think clearly. Migraines can be caused by a variety of factors, such as hormone balances, genetics, barometric pressure, and exhaustion.

Hospital Approach Versus Chiropractic Approach for Migraines

A typical hospital approach to migraines will focus on how to provide immediate pain relief. The hope is that if the patient can relax, heal, and recovery quickly. While this offers temporary relief, the migraines can often return.

Chiropractic care focuses on identifying the root cause of the migraine and provide prompt treatment to alleviate the issue. Our chiropractor performs a physical examination to check for any misalignments within the neck or spine, cramped muscles, pinched nerves and discusses your lifestyle with you. Any of these issues can be addressed with chiropractic treatment and the frequency of migraines can be reduced.
