Chiropractor for Headache and Migraine
Many of us have experienced a migraine or an headache episode at least once in their life. Some of us have experienced them at least once per month, others may experience them on a daily basis.
Common headaches seen at Macquarie Chiro are:
Migraine headache
Tension headache
Cervicogenic headache (headache that start at the neck and move to the front of the head)
Sinus headache
Post traumatic headache (headache that occurs after a traumatic injury in car accidents or sports, such a whiplash)
The triggers are many and varied. They can include sleep disturbances, certain foods like cheese and chocolate, alcohol and smoking, poor posture, tight neck and shoulder muscles and emotional stress.
Migraine or headache is not normal!
Few of the signs and symptoms of headache and migraine include:
✔ Pain on one or both sides of the head
✔ Pain from the back of the neck to the front or side of the head
✔ Pain that feels dull, throbbing or pulsating
✔ Pain that feels worse with lights or sounds or both
✔ Headache with dizziness, nausea and/or vomiting
✔ Seeing auras (flashing lights, blurred vision, zigzag lines) before the headache onset
✔ If the causes of headache are not relieved at their early stages, it may lead to further complications on a psychological level, including irritability and depression.
Get rid of tension headache and migraine!
Due to the variety of causes for headaches and migraines, it is important that treatment is pursued at an early stage to prevent further complications.
The goal of headache treatment and migraine treatment is to
✔ Restore function
✔ Improve strength
✔ Prevent reoccurrence
A combination of chiropractic and supplementary treatments may be effective in treating your headache or migraine. Manual spinal manipulation and exercise rehabilitation are applied in order to get you out of pain, create a great spinal column alignment and restore optimum function in the hope of dealing with the symptoms of migraine or headaches, and prevent their reoccurrence.
