If you’ve ever experienced a migraine or severe headaches, you know what suffering is! You probably have pain killers at the ready and may even miss out on activities or events, spend a lot of time in a dark room, or go to bed early hoping your head pain will just be gone in the morning. Severe headaches can greatly impact your life, and over-the-counter pain relievers won’t get to the root of the problem. Perhaps you’ve even had blood work done or are on prescription-strength pain relievers. Still, that won’t solve the issue. Here’s how chiropractic may be able to help.
How Can Chiropractic Help with Headaches and Migraines?
At Livingston County Chiropractic Center, our doctors are experts in determining the root issue of the problem and the best course for treatment. We will conduct a thorough examination, including your health history, then recommend care. This can vary based on your specific issues, but with a few weeks of consistent care, you should begin to notice a difference in your headaches.
The reason chiropractic care can be helpful in relieving headache and migraine pain is because our primary focus is the health and wellness of your nervous system. However, they may be other factors contributing to your headaches and/or migraines including other health conditions, intake of artificial sweeteners, sensitivity to artificial preservatives, family history, lack of sleep, poor posture, dehydration, too much screen time, using the wrong pillow, and the list goes on!
Even with the improvement of other areas in your life, your nervous system may not be communicating properly and migraines and headaches can be a symptom of that poor communication. Your body will need time to adapt to the adjustments made during your visit, and good things come to those who wait. While many patients experience relief in as little as one adjustment, it is regular and consistent care that will bring your the most relief. Be sure to follow our suggestions, stay hydrated, and be sure to come with plenty of questions so you can be informed and empowered to improve your health naturally.
Your body has an excellent ability to heal itself naturally, even if that healing process does take time. If you would like to learn more about how chiropractic can help with headaches and migraines, click here to contact us.
