Migraine Headaches – In a Class of Their Own

When it comes to the various types of headaches out there–and there are many–migraine headaches are known for their debilitating effects and factors. According to Medical News Today, over 28 million people experience migraine headaches during each year. Dozens of symptoms can strike all at once, leaving the patient unable to walk, communicate clearly, or drive. The pain associated with migraines can be classified from moderate to severe, often described as pounding, throbbing pain.  Migraine headaches can last from four hours to three days and usually occur one to four times per month. Migraines are associated with symptoms such as:  sensitivity to light, noise, or odors; nausea or vomiting; loss of appetite; and stomach upset or abdominal pain. Although the nervous system disorder that triggers migraines is not yet fully understood, but we do have the treatments necessary to help you deal with these attacks.

Isolate Your Triggers

Migraines often have triggers that will induce an episode. If you can discover these triggers, you can work to avoid them to help reduce your frequency of them in your life.  One of our on-going efforts for helping you keep migraines at bay is helping you reveal what is causing them, or what sets them off, so you can work to avoid tripping those landmines! At Mile High Spine & Pain Center you have a whole team that is dedicated to helping you know more about you. We will help you find relief from your life-altering migraine pain by offering you strategies and tools to stay ahead of your migraines.

Finding Treatment Solutions for Migraines and Pain

To conquer anything you first need a plan. But not just any plan. You need a plan custom-fit to your unique needs and challenges.  So, the first part of your migraine treatment is a thorough evaluation with one of our skilled practitioners. During this evaluation, we will take your medical history, current medical challenges and medications into account as we discuss with you your symptoms. The type of pain you are experiencing and the frequency of the pain is a crucial piece to diagnosing the root cause of your migraines. After we have gathered all the information we can on your current conditions we are prepared to offer appropriate treatments.

Migraine Headaches Treatment Options

Resorting to pain-masking medications to treat your migraine symptoms is not a healthy alternative over the long run.  The side effects of these drugs can be tremendous. That is why at Mile High Spine & Pain Center, we are committed to finding non-invasive, non-surgical, non-pharmaceutical pain management alternatives for our patients.  Some effective treatment options we can offer you for your migraines include: education, counseling, neuromusculoskeletal analysis, spinal examination, spinal adjustments, stress management, biofeedback, massage, trigger point therapy, advanced nerve testing, food sensitivity testing, nutritional assessment and electrostimulation.

The Connection Between the Spine and Headaches

Many patients are surprised to find out that their headache pain is alleviated or resolved after their spine is treated for subluxation (misaligned vertebrae). Why is this? Spinal misalignment can foster nerve compression, interference and pain. Nerve irritation is the leading cause of migraine headache pain for many sufferers.  Misalignments of the spinal vertebrae in the neck puts unnatural pressure on your spinal nerves and triggers migraine headache pain.  Through spinal adjustments, our chiropractic team is able to relieve these pain-inducing pressures and help your body to naturally heal and function properly.
