Migraines and headaches are two of the most common ailments that people suffer from every day. Migraines are most notable by being on one side of the head and can be very painful, even debilitating in nature. They are often associated with sensitivity to light, sound, changes in vision, and nausea/vomiting. Migraines are often caused due to an allergy or sensitivity, which then causes a neurological "backlash" within the body. The best treatment for migraines is to determine your specific migraine triggers and eliminate them. This is not always possible. When this occurs, rest, cold packs and a visit to your chiropractor will be extremely helpful.

The same goes for your regular every day headaches, also called Tension Headaches. Normally caused by poor posture either from sitting or standing. Keeping your head up straight and walking "tall" can decrease the occurrence of tension headaches, along with regular visits to your chiropractor.

Migraines and headaches cause swelling within the muscles, this swelling creates a change within the spine, causing joints to move improperly. This leads to further inflammation and pain. Correcting joint mobility and alignment restores proper motion, decreasing inflammatory episodes and relieving pain.
