Chronic Headaches = Brain LossAlthough most people get the occasional headache, there are people who experience headaches for more than 15 days each month. They are said to have chronic headaches. It is estimated that between three to five percent of people worldwide have chronic headaches. There are several subtypes of chronic headaches, such as chronic migraine, chronic tension headaches, medication overuse headache, and hemicrania continua (a headache that only affects one side of the face and head).
Researchers examined the brains of people with chronic headaches and compared them with people who didn't have headaches. The researchers found that patients without headaches had no changes in brain tissue, but patients with chronic headaches did.
And, the longer the patients had their headaches, the more tissue was lost in the brain.
Migraines are more than just severe headaches. Migraines are in a class by themselves. The only thing they have in common with headaches is the head pain. A migraine usually, but not always, involves a severe, unilateral (one-sided) headache that is often described as pulsing or throbbing. In addition to the pain, many people with migraines also become very sensitive to light (photophobia), sounds, and odors. They may also be nauseous and vomit.
Many studies have been done on people who have migraines. This research has shown that there are changes in the brains of migraineurs, much like those with other chronic pain. Although there hasn't been a connection made between the changes in the brain as a result of the pain, researchers have found that these changes may actually have a part in causing the migraine pain.
Spine University's Guide to Neuroplasticity and Chronic Pain cites Dr. Rocca’s study of 16 patients with migraines and they also found changes in their brain tissue. Two other studies compared patients with migraines to control subjects who didn't have migraines. Both studies also found brain changes in the migraineurs. When interpreting the study data, Rocca's group suggested that the changes could have been caused by the repeated pain attacks on the brain.
When the upper cervical spine is misaligned the blood and cerebrospinal fluid flow is changed to and from the brain. This is being demonstrated with Phase Contrast MRI on the arteries and veins from the brain to the body. Altered fluid flow can change the brain. Our brain needs proper fluids in order to function properly. The longer the misalignment has been present the more damage is done.
If the upper neck has become misaligned due to accidents and injuries than a change is currently happening in the brain. The brain research is showing how those with chronic tension headaches and migraines are suffering brain damage as a result of their headaches.
Do you see the connection?
Misalignment causes altered blood and CSF flow, the brain needs blood and cerebrospinal fluid in order function properly, without proper venous drainage many people begin to suffer with headaches. Correct the cause by realigning the upper cervical spine with a precise upper cervical procedure such as NUCCA and the blood flow begins to change. Headaches frequently go away and the brain begins getting proper blood flow again so that it can heal.
For many people it is as simple as that!

Causes of Migraines and Blurred VisionWhile the most common symptom of migraines is severe pain. Other symptoms may affect vision. In fact, blurred vision is a rather common symptom for a person to experience during a migraine. What are the causes of these migraine headaches and blurred vision? How can you treat them in a natural way? Read on to learn more.
While the ultimate cause of migraines is still unknown, some factors seem to include a family history, certain triggers (such as particular foods or activities), and head and neck injuries. In order to treat these migraines, a physician may prescribe various medications. Some medications include beta blockers, antidepressants, and anti-seizure medications. But what if you want a natural approach?
One good suggestion is to keep a food journal. You may be able to discover which foods or drinks trigger your migraines and cut these out of your diet to reduce occurrences. Keep track also of which activities bring on a migraine.
If your migraines are the result of an injury, upper cervical chiropractic can help you to reduce your symptoms or possibly eliminate the migraines altogether. This is because head or neck trauma can cause the C1 and C2 vertebrae to become misaligned. This can cause migraines, even if you don't feel any neck pain due to the misalignment. Head and neck injuries, even 10 to 20 years prior to the onset of migraines may be to blame. Why not set up a consult with an upper cervical chiropractic practitioner to see if this is the right solution for you.

25% Still Have Headaches 4 Years LaterPost-traumatic Headaches (PTH) occur in 90% of patients following a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI), also known as a concussion. Over time the percentage of patients who suffer with these types of headaches decreases, however almost 25% have persistent headaches four years later.
Many patients with mild TBI appear to be fine but suffer from ongoing PTH and other post-concussion syndrome symptoms, which may be misunderstood and minimalized by medical doctors, physical therapists, employers, and family.
Post-traumatic headaches can be an extremely debilitating condition and will regularly lead to missed work days, prolonged disability, and decreased community involvement.
The medical approach to posttraumatic headaches includes anti-inflammatories, Botox injections and antidepressants. These symptomatic approaches do not address the underlying cause and due to the side effects frequently do more harm than good.
Frequently concussions and the resulting Post Concussion Syndrome (PCS) occur as a result of head or neck trauma. This type of trauma can result in brain injury, such as concussions, but it also leads to structural misalignments between the head and the neck.
These upper neck misalignments are frequently underappreciated in the medical community and as a result a person can be on medications for months, years or even decades before they find help.
Misalignments in the upper neck lead to changes in blood and cerebrospinal fluid flow from the brain to the body and from the body to the brain. This type of dysfunction can lead to a variety of lingering symptoms following a concussion, including headaches, dizziness, concentration problems and more.
The best way to thoroughly examine the upper neck for injuries that may be leading to the chronic effects of concussion related symptoms is by using the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association's protocol. The NUCCA has developed a unique and thorough physical examination and x-ray protocol in order to determine if the upper neck has been injured and how best to correct it.

Jaw PainThe lower jaw is connected to the skull by the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) which is located in front of each ear. These are complicated joints which allow the lower jaw to open, close, slide and rotate. On an average, the TMJ is used over 5000 times each day when we we chew, swallow, yawn, smile, laugh, eat and speak!
TMJ pain is mainly caused due to damage to the joint itself. Any kind of trauma can affect the TMJ can cause immense pain and dysfunction. Mostly sports injuries, car accidents, dental work may be the reason of TMJ disorder. Other things like excessive gum chewing, teeth clenching, nail biting, holding a phone between your shoulder and the side of the head are potential threats as well. The symptoms of TMJ vary from person to person and can affect one or both joints. Symptoms vary from mild to severe and may include clicking or popping of the joint, pain with or without chewing, locking of the jaw toothache, facial and/or neck pain, headaches, earaches, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and clogged or stuffy ear.
TMJ pain and dysfunction can be helped through Upper Cervical Chiropractic. Upper cervical x-rays are taken and adjustments are made with the purpose of correcting the alignment of the upper cervical spine. This can have dramatic effects on those that are suffering with jaw pain or TMJ dysfunction. Because the upper neck is intimately connected to jaw function both because of posture and nerve connections.
The upper cervical doctors are experts in the top two bones in the neck and, most importantly, the brain stem. When a misalignment occurs between the head and neck at the level of the top two bones in the neck, brain to body communication is disrupted. This can result in TMJ pain, facial pain, ringing in the ears, headaches and much more.
Upper Cervical Chiropractic was developed by B.J.Palmer in the starting of 1930s and is a branch of Chiropractic. This gentle, non-invasive approach makes a dramatic impact on the central nervous system, which affects almost every function of the human anatomy which include feeling sensations in your fingers to regulating hormones, controlling movement, and providing the ability to hear, see, think, and breathe.
If you suffer from TMJ and are searching for natural relief, upper cervical chiropractic is a good place to look. An upper cervical chiropractor can do more than just help your posture. These two uppermost neck bones being aligned properly can relieve TMJ symptoms, headaches, and many other related conditions. Why not have an upper cervical specialist check out your neck to see if you could benefit from this specific and gentle type of chiropractic care.

Causes of Migraines in MenWhile migraines are about 3 times as common for women, men do still suffer from this debilitating neurological condition. What are the primary causes of migraines in men, and what can you do to mitigate migraines symptoms?
Let's face it, men often put their body through the ringer. It isn't just a matter of whether they are performing physical labor, but men also like to play contact sports and do a lot of other things that can result in head and neck injuries. These injuries, in turn, may be responsible for the migraines.
Another of the potential causes of migraines in men is a vascular issue. As men both age and undergo increased stress, neck tension can affect the amount of blood reaching the brain. This, in turn, may result in migraines. This also relates to why beta blockers (generally prescribed for high blood pressure) are sometimes prescribed to help migraine sufferers. However, these medications do have extensive side effects.
Another potential approach for migraines in men is upper cervical chiropractic. When accidents and injuries tear loose the connective tissue that holds the spine in place it causes the spine to breakdown and lock into a stressed position. This will frequently affect the upper neck the most severely leading to postural changes, neurological dysfunction and a variety of different symptoms, including migraine headaches. Specific upper cervical adjustments may be able to address these underlying issues and repair these injuries to the upper neck. Since the C1 and C2 vertebrae are positioned right at the base of the brain where it meets the spinal column, neurological conditions such as migraines can be the result of such a misalignment. Consult an upper cervical chiropractic practitioner to have a thorough upper neck evaluation in order to determine if your migraines are coming from this crucial area.

Do you get migraines or other headaches, and want to get rid of them?
Are you looking for natural headache relief without drugs or surgery?
Do you have a history of head or neck trauma from accidents or injuries?
If you answered yes to all these questions, keep reading.
Dr. Raymond Damadian, the inventor of the MRI has been doing some amazing research with upright MRIs. He's been able to show that when someone has a misalignment in the upper neck it is actually changing the flow of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) to, from and through the brain. CSF is the fluid that lubricates the brain and spinal cord.
The obstruction comes as the first few bones in your neck become misaligned and causes a backup of CSF and increased pressure inside the head. This brain pressure can lead to a variety of different problems, including migraine headaches.
When this misalignment was corrected by a specialized upper cervical procedure, the studies show that the pressure inside the head decreases significantly and the CSF flow becomes normal , and migraines and other conditions, have significantly improved.
For example, one of the studies reports on two patients who presented with severe, long-standing migraine headaches and other complications following whiplash injuries. Both patients were examined in an upright MRI utilizing specialized software, which allowed for evaluation of CSF flow.
It was found that in each patient there was a misalignment of the 1st cervical vertebra (Atlas), as well as substantially reduced CSF flow between the skull and the neck. Both patients received an upper cervical correction directed at the C1 misalignment.
Within an hour of the correction both patients were rescanned and normal CSF flow was restored. Additionally, the headache pain was nearly eliminated immediately after the correction in both patients.
The researchers stated:
Prior research has demonstrated a correlation between CSF flow obstruction and intracranial pressure headaches. This is a potentially significant clinical finding (CSF obstruction) that can lead to long-term and often unexplained complaints of unresolved headaches, neck pain, tingling, numbness, and a variety of other symptoms.
This type of upper neck correction can only be performed by a specially trained group of doctors. Fortunately for you, one of these doctors is within your own community.
Do you suffer from headaches?
A thorough evaluation of your upper neck by an upper cervical specialist could provide the answers and the end to your chronic headaches.
Now is the time for you to take the first step.

Severe Migraines and Neck PainNeck pain can be an early sign of a migraine or may show up after the episode, leaving sufferer's with a throbbing pain at the back of the neck. According to an online survey generated by the National Headache Foundation, 38% of migraine patients said they always experience neck pain and 31% said they frequently had neck pain along with their migraine headaches.
It is very common for a tightness in the shoulders and neck to cause a cervicogenic headache (or migraine), which is a condition connected to the cervical spine. This occurs because tightness in the neck muscles and joints stimulates nerves in the neck that extend into the head, resulting in the pain traveling to the head, causing a headache. When it comes to the neck and migraine, the same process takes place except that when the signals reach the head it causes a migraine for those who are prone to getting them.
Muscle tightness and neck pain are usually signs of mental or physical stress and posture, all that can be effectively addressed naturally without drugs. Instead of simply opting for medication to treat migraine neck pain, take a look at your overall health and see if any changes need to be made, including finding time to relax, exercise and to learn stress relieving techniques.
Medication management of migraine and neck pain generally starts with analgesics like aspirin, acetaminophen and NSAIDs, however the results vary from patient to patient. Sometimes a combination of medications is prescribed, however, this approach has the potential for causing rebound migraine. If this approach fails, a cautious use of an opioid can be prescribed, using a sustained release medication around the clock for unrelenting headaches in the hopes of preventing a rebound effect. Invasive practices may also be considered and they include trigger point injections, facet joint blocks, occipital nerve blocks, nerve root blocks, segmental nerve root blocks, etc. it is important to be aware that all of these pharmaceutical approaches have side effects, and do not address the underlying cause of the migraines only attempt to relieve symptoms temporarily.
Symptoms of cervical spine dysfunction usually include tension and migraine headache (cervicogenic headache). Upper cervical chiropractic care is focused on finding and correcting any alignment issue in your neck that can cause not only migraine neck pain, but a number of other chronic health problems and conditions. Because the human response to trauma and injury is to realign the body, down to even the pelvis and hip area, tension is placed on the spine as well as the cranial nerves, nervous system and also affects blood flow. Gentle and safe upper cervical corrections can relieve and even eliminate neck pain, getting the neck and spine back into the correct positions, without jerking or twisting your neck during the procedure.
Correcting underlying neck injuries will frequently decrease or eliminate migraine headache pain. The best and safest approach available to address severe migraine and neck pain is upper cervical chiropractic and positive lifestyle changes that include following a healthy diet plan, getting a proper amount of sleep, exercise and finding a way to reduce tension.

Migraines and NauseaBesides just excruciating pain, migraines can be associated with various other symptoms. One common migraine symptom is nausea. The nausea may even become so great that vomiting results. What are the causes of migraines and why is nausea a symptom? An even more important question is: what can you do about your migraines?
The causes of migraines are not completely understood but researchers believe that some migraines may be hereditary while others may be the result of injury. Some have come to find that taking part in certain activities or eating particular foods such as chocolate or red wine is what brings on a migraine. The pain of the migraine may be the cause of the nausea, or it could be related to the chemicals in the brain that are released during a migraine.
What are the common treatments? Many doctors will prescribe an antidepressant, beta blocker, or even an anti-seizure medication to help mitigate symptoms or reduce the occurrence of migraines. Each of these types of medications have side effects. But what can you do if you prefer a natural remedy?
Keeping a journal to discover what triggers your migraines is one good way to try and prevent them from occuring, but to really treat the problem, you have to get to the source. An upper cervical chiropractic visit may help you to discover if an upper neck injury could be the cause of your migraines. If so, a specialized upper cervical chiropractic procedure could reduce the number of migraines you experience, or eliminate them completely.

Silent MigraineThe main symptom of a migraine is head pain, right? Not always! A silent migraine is a type of migraine that has many other migraine symptoms without the head pain. With silent migraines, dizziness may be the primary symptom. For other silent migraines, vertigo may be accompanied by nausea, fatigue, chills, confusion, irritability, and other symptoms. Aura will often precede a silent migraine, though it is an uncommon symptom of regular migraine headaches.
With a silent migraine, aura is generally caused by brain activity quickly speeding up and then, just as quickly, slowing way down. Since the condition spreads from the visual part of the brain to other parts, visual symptoms generally begin first. This results in the flashing lights, hallucinations, and partial temporary blindness that can accompany aura that precedes a silent migraine.
Treatment of silent migraines often requires a daily diary to keep track of symptoms and to identify triggers. Triggers could include anything from physical and emotional stress to caffeine, and environmental conditions (extreme temperatures or loud noises) to not getting enough sleep. Your doctor may prescribe any of more than 100 medications that doctors use for migraine headaches. Much of this is trial and error.
While avoiding triggers may limit silent migraines, it doesn't treat the root problem which may be something as simple as an upper neck injury. That is why you should get a consult from an upper cervical chiropractic practitioner. Specialized upper cervical procedures that only a few thousand chiropractors worldwide have mastered may help provide relief on a more permanent basis.
