Chiropractic care for headaches and migraines can help people who suffer from mild to severe symptoms. Suffering from a migraine can be debilitating and make daily tasks such as going to work or caring for children extremely difficult. In fact, surveys have shown that 91% of people who suffer from migraines are unable to work or function normally during an attack. For people who can easily mitigate their migraine attacks, chances are good that they suffer from another type of headache, such as sinus or tension headache; nearly half of all people who get migraines also frequently get these types of headaches as well. Whether you suffer from mild, moderate, or severe migraines, our experienced chiropractors help with headaches at Atlas Total Health Chiropractic to reduce your symptoms.

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.
Throbbing headache
Sound sensitivity
Tingling down the side of the face
Light sensitivity
Nausea Pain on one side of the head

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.
