Chiropractic Care for Migraine Pain

There’s nothing quite as frustrating as headache pain, but when that headache turns into a full blown migraine, the effects can be debilitating. Sadly, more than 37 million people across the US suffer from migraine headaches on a regular basis. If you are one of these people, you may be surprised to learn that chiropractic care from a Cape Coral chiropractor could provide the much needed relief you are looking for.

Symptoms of Migraine Pain

Migraines can slowly build up over days of worsening headaches, or they can come on all of the sudden, quickly and out of nowhere. One thing is for sure: when migraine pain does hit, it can be a nightmare. Migraines can cause intense head pain, vision impairment, dizziness, nausea, and much more. For many, medication and sleep are what they turn to when a migraine hits. However, medication may not always be the best course of action as it doesn’t address the root cause of migraine pain, and sleeping off a headache isn’t always possible. Additionally, these are only temporary solutions that only mask or delay the symptoms for the time being.

What Causes Migraines?

It could, in fact, be spinal misalignments that are at the root of your migraines. Spinal misalignments are vertebrae that are turned or shifted slightly out of place. These misalignments disrupt the communication of the central nervous system, meaning your body can’t send and receive messages as it should. Instead, spinal misalignments bring about nerve interference that can cause all kinds of problems, including migraines. Cape Coral chiropractor Dr. Omar Clark will assess your spine to locate misalignments. Then, gentle adjustments will restore proper alignment and central nervous system function, which can, in turn, relieve migraine pain. In fact, many migraine sufferers have stated that their migraines have been completely alleviated as a direct result of chiropractic care! And as an added benefit, chiropractic care is also a great way to improve your overall health and wellness as it can improve function of the immune system, digestive system, joints, and so much more.

Migraine Case Studies Show Success of Chiropractic Care

If you are still unsure as to whether or not chiropractic care is right for you, then consider how others have had success with regular chiropractic care. In one case study, an 8-year-old boy suffered from headaches for over 2 years. Thankfully, after undergoing chiropractic care, he found the relief he and his family were searching for. In another study, a 12-year-old boy with severe migraine pain had missed almost a half a year of school for 7 consecutive years because of his intense migraines. With chiropractic care, he was able to get to the root of his migraine pain in just one week! As you can see, there’s hope for relief from migraine pain through chiropractic care.

If you or someone you love are fed up with migraine pain, then consider chiropractic care to eliminate migraine symptoms and get back to living your best life. Contact Dr. Omar Clark of Experience Health & Wellness Center to learn more about chiropractic care and schedule your appointment.
