As a California migraine chiropractor based in Redwood City, I’ve come across numerous migraine cases. To put things in perspective, the United States alone has 39 million migraine sufferers. In addition, women are usually three times more likely have a migraine diagnosis than their male counterparts.
Migraines also affect financial aspects of life. In the U.S., annual costs for migraine relief procedures are at $36 billion, leading to 113 million workdays missed. That is equivalent to a staggering $13 billion in lost work productivity.
Studies point to fluorescent lighting as a possible trigger for migraines. Since one of the primary symptoms of such episodes is sensitivity to light, too much exposure may easily trigger an attack.
Talk to your company about other types of lighting in your work area. You might not be the only one who is affected by fluorescent lights. Opt for natural light from windows as much as possible. If removing the fluorescent lights is not an option, you could turn on just one light switch in a room that has three or four light switches, and add extra light by using lamps with other kinds of bulbs.
While several forms of medication may have varying levels of success for migraines, there are more natural options to consider. One way to provide natural relief for migraines is through upper cervical chiropractic care. A possible root cause of migraines is a misalignment on the C1 and C2 vertebrae, the top two bones in the neck. Upper cervical chiropractic care corrects any misalignments of the C1 and C2 vertebrae. By doing so, some people’s migraines are decreased or completely eliminated.
As a chiropractor in practice for years now, I’ve developed an expertise in determining the exact spots of these misalignments. Here in my clinic, Advanced Spinal Care, I use a technique called NUCCA, which doesn’t involve forceful methods to move the vertebrae back in place. I use a gentle technique that is precise and accurate.So if you’re in search of a California migraine chiropractor based in Redwood City, my clinic’s doors are open for you.
