Migraines are not just headaches — they are complex neurological diseases that produce changes in both the brain and the head and neck blood vessels. They are usually associated with other symptoms such as sensitivity to noise and light, nausea, vomiting, and increased thirst. Other symptoms include muscle weakness, fatigue, cognitive problems such as confusion or trouble thinking clearly (dysphasia), and tingling in the extremities.

The pain is usually on one side of the head but can affect both sides; it is typically pulsating in nature. In some cases, it spreads to affect half of the face on both sides of the head (called a hemiplegic migraine).

About 10% of people experience migraines with an aura (visual disturbances). These visual disturbances can include flashes of light or zigzagging lines. Less commonly, they can include numbness or tingling sensations on one side of their body. The good news is that chiropractic treatment has been shown to help reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines.

Chiropractors are trained to recognize the relationship between body structure and function. The spine is a key part of this connection. Chiropractors believe that misalignment or injury to certain areas of your spine may cause pressure on nerves that send messages to your brain, resulting in symptoms like headaches, neck pain, and low back pain.

By adjusting these vertebrae and removing any pressure on the nerves, chiropractic adjustments help reduce or eliminate these symptoms. Here are various techniques used by chiropractors to treat migraines.

Spinal Manipulation
This involves manually applying pressure to joints in the spine to correct any misalignments that may be contributing to your migraines. Spinal manipulation has been shown to decrease the frequency of migraines by more than 50%. It is also effective at reducing the severity of migraines once they begin.

Neck Adjustments for Tension Headaches
Neck adjustments can relieve tension headaches by restoring normal motion in the neck joints. By restoring normal motion in the neck joints, chiropractic adjustments allow muscles to relax more easily, so they don’t become tense and painful during everyday activities like reading or driving.

Massage Therapy
Massage therapy can be used alone or combined with other manual therapies such as chiropractic adjustments or spinal manipulation to help improve circulation, relieve muscle tension and promote relaxation in your body’s soft tissues such as muscles and ligaments.
