How Chiropractic Care Can Treat Your Migraines

If you suffer from migraines, then you know how debilitating they can be. It sometimes feels like nothing is working to rid yourself of this discomfort. Even over-the-counter medicines are only able to dull the pain. The real way to treat a migraine is to get to the root cause of it. This is what chiropractic care can do. At Spine Pain Center in Mount Pleasant, SC, our experts can diagnose and treat your migraines.

What Are Migraines?

Migraines are different from headaches. Headaches are common and are not as painful and persistent as migraines. The main difference between headaches and migraines is where the pain is located and symptoms associated with that pain. Headaches happen for a variety of reasons, however, the pain is usually located around the perimeter of your head, as if the headache is a band around your head. Migraines typically hurt on one side of the head and are described as throbbing. They are also associated with nausea, as well as light and sound sensitivity. Migraines make it difficult for people to continue throughout their days comfortably.

There are many types of migraines that come with different symptoms. There are migraines with and without auras, which are visual symptoms. There are also chronic migraines, abdominal migraines, hemiplegic migraines, and more.

Chiropractic Treatment

Our chiropractor will look for the root cause of your migraines. This could be a pinched nerve, an accident, allergies, hormonal imbalances, and more. After a diagnosis, we can create a treatment plan for you. Some chiropractic treatments we use are soft tissue therapy, manual therapy, lifestyle counseling, and rehabilitation. We might also perform chiropractic adjustments to realign your spine and relieve any pressure on nerves or muscles in your neck and back. These treatments will help reduce tension, improve blood flow, and promote natural healing in your body. After several sessions with our chiropractor, your migraine frequency can reduce and eventually diminish.
