HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES IN MAPLE GROVE

Structural problems can cause the simple pain we experience as a morning headache to the unbearable effects of a migraine headache, which include: light and noise intolerance, vomiting, nausea, hallucination, and depression. Structural problems arise when the spine’s position is altered and pressure is applied on the nearby nerves. This altered spinal position can occur for a number of reasons including development issues, trauma, consistent stress, posture and various injuries. When the nerves are compressed or irritated the muscles near the head and neck can tighten, causing increased muscle tension that is often experienced as a tension headache or a suboccipital headache. Tension-type headaches are the most common primary headache disorder. The exact cause of migraine headaches can vary from person to person, with no definitive cure recognized within the medical field. Some of the common triggers include: stress, medications, hormonal changes, alcohol, caffeine, flickering lights, loud noise, poor diet, sleep deprivation, and changes in atmospheric pressure. Individuals who experience migraines often manage their symptoms with prescription medications and over-the-counter treatments. Chiropractic treatment has shown to provide significant relief in both the intensity and frequency of migraine symptoms.

Throughout history, chiropractic treatment has successfully relieved headaches and migraines.

By realigning the joints of the spine, chiropractic treatment can help relieve stress on the nerves, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. As stress is removed from the structures of the spine, the regulation of the nervous system improves, which is often a key factor in headache and migraine onset. Chiropractors in Maple Grove are well equipped with the knowledge to detect and respond to issues within the spine column. Headaches and migraine treatment in Maple Grove begins with an examination of the spine to address misalignments that may be the hidden source for your pain.
