Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper spinal
alignment, reducing nerve irritation, improving blood flow, decreasing muscle
tension, and enhancing overall nervous system function.
You may be surprised to learn that chiropractic treatments work by removing pressure on brain tissue in the central nervous system. This alleviates any interference with the communication between your brain and the rest of your body, potentially reducing headaches and migraines.
Remove Pressure on Brain Tissue in Central Nervous System
To alleviate headaches and migraines, chiropractic
treatments work by relieving pressure on brain tissue in the central nervous
system through spinal adjustments and realignments.
When misalignments in the spine, particularly in the
cervical region, create pressure on the brainstem nuclei, it can lead to
increased headache frequency and intensity. By correcting these subluxations,
chiropractic care can help decrease compression and irritation on the nerves
and blood vessels that connect to the brainstem. This reduction in pressure and
irritation can improve the brain's pain processing functions and decrease the
likelihood of headaches.
Through chiropractic adjustments, the disrupted neural
pathways that transmit pain signals to and from the brain can be realigned,
potentially reducing the sensitivity to pain and making headaches less severe.
Moreover, by ensuring proper spinal alignment, chiropractic care can enhance
autonomic functions controlled by the brainstem, such as heart rate and blood
pressure, which can contribute to the relief of migraines and tension
headaches.
Chiropractic care offers a drug-free, natural approach to
migraine relief by addressing the root cause of headaches and supporting the
body's healing processes.
Why Doesn't Your Doctor Know About Chiropractic Care for Migraines?
Many medical professionals may not be fully aware of
the benefits of chiropractic care for migraines due to a lack of exposure to
success stories and case studies demonstrating its effectiveness. Your doctor
mightn't have recommended chiropractic care for migraines because they may not
be familiar with the drug-free solution it offers or how it focuses on spinal
alignment to alleviate headaches.
By understanding that chiropractic care aims to restore
proper spinal alignment, reduce nerve irritation, improve blood flow, decrease
muscle tension, and enhance overall nervous system function, you can see the
holistic approach it takes towards migraine relief.
Encountering success stories and case studies showcasing the positive outcomes of chiropractic care for migraines can help bridge this knowledge gap. Consider discussing the potential benefits of chiropractic care with your healthcare provider to explore this alternative for managing your migraines effectively
Integrating chiropractic care into your headache and
migraine relief plan can offer safe, comfortable, and highly effective
solutions for managing and alleviating your symptoms.
Chiropractic care provides drug-free relief by focusing on
spinal alignment and improving nervous system function. By restoring proper
spinal alignment through manual adjustments, chiropractors reduce strain and
tension that contribute to headaches.
Additionally, realigning the spine helps
reduce nerve irritation, decreasing the frequency and intensity of headaches.
Improved blood flow to the brain, facilitated by proper spinal alignment, enhances brain function and aids in pain management. Chiropractic adjustments also help decrease muscle tension in the neck and shoulders, leading to fewer headaches
What Are Our Happy Patients Saying ?
I have to admit I was skeptic at first. Whoever sees a chiropractor for headaches? One of my patients was telling me about Core Health and the success they had with their migraines. I spend my day hunched over patients mouths and the strain it puts on my upper back goes to my head. Dr. Mc Kay worked on my posture and did adjustments on my neck. The adjustments were comfortable I was afraid they would hurt but he was gentle. I send all my patients with headaches to Dr. Mc Kay
Peter Silverman DDS Westport
I came to see Dr. Mc Kay for hip pain. During his exam he asked about other health concerns I had. He asked what medications I was taking, when I told him I was just approved for Botox to treat my chronic migraines he wanted to know if I ever tried chiropractic care for my migraines. I had not thought about it because my neurologist never suggested it. I was game to try anything. Within a few weeks my headaches were gone and I have not had one since. If you have headaches and want to try something different call Dr. Mc Kay
