Of the many different kinds of headaches, the migraine is considered the most painful. It is capable of causing monumental pain. The sufferer is overcome with nausea and vomiting as well as pain. It is disabling, making work and other activities impossible. Fortunately, help can be found in the office of a prominent Nashville chiropractor.

Scientific researchers have valid theories as to what causes this headache, but, there is no definite answer. Correlations do exist such as genetics because they occur in successive generations of the same family. There are also a number of likely triggers that seem to precede the onset.

Included are lights, sounds, certain foods and even sleep habits. These triggering events may be different in some people. A discussion with your chiropractor can help you define yours and, by doing so, avoid setting off a migraine in the future. But nothing is foolproof.

Your chiropractor can also help to alleviate the disabling pain while a migraine is in effect. The first step is to make an appointment for an evaluation. Together you will discuss your symptoms and the impact they have on your normal daily activities.

Any condition not likely to be responsive to chiropractic adjustments is ruled out. Next, your migraine history is analyzed and documented. Your spine is examined focusing on the vertebrae located in the neck. In one controlled study forty nine percent of the subjects had a significant decrease in pain when their next migraine occurred.

Many individuals prefer not to take any medication, either prescription or over the counter. That is what makes chiropractic methods popular, they do not rely on any. Research indicates that spinal adjustments are more beneficial than any medicine for pain. A series of appointments can be scheduled for your adjustments. You can also benefit from valuable lifestyle recommendations.
