While the specific mechanism of migraines is still unclear, most experts believe that migraines are caused by an abnormality within the brain. Simply put, due to neural pathways activation and the release of certain chemicals, normal blood flow to the brain and surrounding tissues is altered, leading to migraine symptoms such as a throbbing headache and nausea, according to MedlinePlus.

People who are genetically predisposed to migraines typically have certain triggers that they know bring on migraine headaches or increase the frequency of migraines. These may include, but are not limited to, the following:
By realigning the vertebrae within the spine as chiropractic treatment for headaches and migraines, migraine headaches can be significantly reduced in severity and, particularly, frequency. An aligned spine and neck allow the nerves that have been under pressure to calm down, which in turn promotes full body healing and better functioning. Hormone function returns to normal with the level of serotonin, a chemical that may reduce the frequency of migraines, to increase. In addition, we seek to educate our clients about triggers to avoid and other chiropractic treatments for headaches and life changes they can employ to reduce their migraine attacks.
A cheerful heart is good medicine.
