Migraines & Cluster Headaches 

Can Chiropractic help me?

For over a century chiropractics natural drug free approach to health has been a blessing to migraine and cluster headache sufferers. Chiropractors are the only healthcare professionals trained to analyze and correct the vertebral subluxation complex, a condition that affects your spine, nerves, joints, discs and other structures. This common often painless condition can weaken your body, cause fatigue and pain, lower vitality and set the stage for sickness and diseases. Please keep in mind that the purpose of chiropractic care is not to cure specific diseases but to correct the vertebral subluxation complex. This allows your body to restore itself to a greater level of health and wholeness to better heal itself. 

The Chiropractic Checkup 

Using his or her hands, X-Ray, scales and other spinal analysis instruments, your chiropractor will determine if you have vertebral subluxations in your body. If you have them then he/she will give you a chiropractic spinal adjustment. This will remove your nerve pressure and spinal distortions, improve your body function and promote your natural healing ability. 

The Spine and Headache Relationship 

The cause of migraines has been a mystery. New research reveals sufferers have abnormal nerve firings in the brain and spinal cord. This may be why chiropractics traditional approach helps so many migraine sufferers and it dovetails with prior findings that headaches can be caused by problems in the spine, specifically the neck. This is called the cervicogenic headache. A study of 6000 people who suffered from recurring headaches for 2 to 25 years showed that spine injury was the most important factor in the cause of the headache and should be suspected in every nonspecific case of headache.
