Migraine Relief, Migraine Treatment, Natural Relief of MigrainesAlmost Every American Suffers from Headaches

In fact, 90% of those living in the US suffer from headaches. There have been many press releases and news articles that discuss how chiropractic care can help those that are experiencing headaches.

The Merritt Herald from Canada (July 24, 2013) states: “Did you know that one of the most common forms of headache is actually caused by problems in the neck?”

The American Chiropractic Association, or ACA, had a recent press release that starts by noting “If you have a headache, you're not alone. Nine out of ten Americans suffer from headaches. Some are occasional, some frequent, some are dull and throbbing, and some cause debilitating pain and nausea.” It went on to report that research has shown how chiropractic care helps headaches.

Medical Doctors Do Not Really Understand Headaches

It is quite uncommon for a doctor to recommend chiropractic care for headaches. The Merritt Herald article mentioned earlier illustrated this fact: "Unfortunately, the medical understanding of headaches often does not take into account the chiropractic model, which remains foreign to many within the medical profession."

After the research, note what Dr. Rothbart stated in an interview: "Some brilliant people have put their hearts, souls and minds to this (headache) problem and haven't come up with anything. All we've been able to do is treat people with an array of medicines, one after the other, and hope the side effects won’t be too bad. We couldn’t believe it at first. We’ve been able to put together a scientific explanation for how neck structure causes headaches — not all headaches, but a significant number of them. It's true that chiropractors have been saying this for years. Unfortunately, many (medical) doctors tend to have a jaundiced view of chiropractors, but they were right about headaches."

What Can You Do?

If you suffer from headaches, you could get the answers you need through a thorough examination of your upper neck by an upper cervical chiropractor, such as Dr. Pete Tsiglieris of Redwood City, California. This may very well put an end to your chronic headaches. Now would be a great time for you to take the first step, and contact Dr. Tsiglieris.

Migraine Relief, Migraine Treatment, Natural Relief of MigrainesMigraine Treatment

There are not many conventional methods for finding relief from migraines, even with all of the medical research out there. Most of the time the medication that is prescribed for this type of neurological abnormality double as antidepressants, anti-seizure medication, or medication for high blood pressure. That's because the symptoms of migraines are often the same as those conditions.

While the cause of this type of neurological abnormality is not known within the medical community, it seems there are many possible triggers. What triggers this type of head pain in one person may differ from those triggers in another person. Because of that there are often different treatments that may be used from one migraine sufferer to another.

The benefit of this is that, for example, a nutritionist might suggest to a person who suffers from migraines due to food allergies that they cut out certain foods from their diets. That will hopefully work well for them, but it won't necessarily work well for someone who suffers from migraines due to stress. People who suffer from migraines due to stress will want to try a more holistic method such as the following:

Other holistic methods include:

Now, there is a chance that those migraines you suffer from may be due to a misalignment in the top two vertebrae in your neck. It only takes a misalignment of ¼ of a millimeter of those two bones to place enough pressure on the brainstem to hinder the brain's ability to communicate with the body. The good news is that upper cervical chiropractic focuses on realigning those top two bones, also known as the upper cervical spine, so as to restore the brain's ability to communicate with the body. This will then allow the body to begin to heal itself, thus reducing and many times eliminating the frequency and severity of migraine pain.

Migraine Relief, Migraine Treatment, Natural Relief of MigrainesWe know all of the migraine sufferers out there want to find relief from their pain, so we're telling you about five ways you can beat that pain.

  1. Imitrex
  2. Maxalt
  3. Zomig
  4. Relpax
  5. Upper Cervical Chiropractic

Now, the first four are prescription medications that are given to migraine sufferers. Statistics say that most people reading this blog, or at least most people who suffer from this neurological condition, will choose medication.

Of course, that's most likely because people are just conditioned to want fast relief, so they don't have to deal with the pain and can get through their day. The problem with that is that not only does migraine medication only cover the symptoms, there are also several negative side effects.

Explaining Upper Cervical Chiropractic

Now that we've explained the negative sides of migraine medication, let's look at the fifth choice—upper cervical chiropractic. In the Journal of the American Medical Association it was once stated “Headaches are not headaches at all but really a pain in the neck.” Seletz E. Whiplash Injuries. JAMA, 1958; 168(13): 1750-1755

That leads to the big question as to why most headache medication numbs the head. The focus of helping people finding last healing should be on getting to the source of the pain, not on covering symptoms.

Now, the good news is that unlike Migraine medication which always comes with the risks of negative side effects, upper cervical chiropractic has helped reduced and eliminated the migraine pain of thousands of patients. The top two bones in the spine are more susceptible to injury than the other bones in the spine, which has led upper cervical chiropractors to find a link between a misalignment in those two bones and migraine pain and other chronic headaches.
