While these numbers may provide some solace, they do little to help if you\u2019re among the 11 million who are moderately to severely disabled by these crippling headaches.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve exhausted the medications, it might be time to consider how chiropractic treatments can help. <strong>At Leading Edge Medical<\/strong>, we\u2019ve had great success helping our patients gain the upper hand on debilitating migraines using noninvasive, holistic methods that promote overall health and wellness.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to learn more about how chiropractic treatments help relieve your migraines, read on.<\/p>\n<h3>The problem<\/h3>\n<p>First, let\u2019s take a look at this confounding and frustrating problem. Migraines remain a medical mystery. Years of research have gone into studying migraines, but scientists are still coming up empty-handed when it comes to a direct cause, which means there\u2019s no one-size-fits-all cure.<br \/>\nThere has been some headway in identifying links to genetics and environment. There\u2019s also some evidence that points toward a problem in the <strong>brainstem<\/strong> and the activation of your <strong>trigeminal<\/strong> nerve, which is a cranial nerve that controls sensations in your face. And this is where good chiropractic care comes in.<\/p>\n<h3>Getting a handle on migraines<\/h3>\n<p>The moderate-to-severe pain that typically accompanies a migraine means that your nervous system has, for lack of a better phrase, gone a little haywire. Your brain stem is part of your central nervous system, which then travels down your spinal canal to reach other areas of your body.<\/p>\n<p>Because of this, your spine plays a central role in your nervous system, so any <strong>misalignments<\/strong> or blockages along the way can have a serious effect on your overall health and well-being, migraines included.<\/p>\n<p>Through gentle chiropractic adjustments, we correct these <strong>misalignments<\/strong>, taking pressure off of your nervous system and allowing your body\u2019s systems to flow more freely. This second part is an important one. A <strong>subluxation<\/strong>, which is another term for a blockage in your spine, prevents your body from functioning properly, which can throw your body\u2019s systems off balance, including your hormones.<\/p>\n<p>A blockage can also disrupt the signaling between your brain and the rest of your body. By restoring balance to your spine, we free up these systems and communication lines, allowing them to function as they\u2019re designed to.<\/p>\n<h3>Part of the picture<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Because our approach is one that considers your entire body<\/strong>, we offer several different treatments for migraine pain. Spinal adjustments are the first step because we essentially release your body to heal and correct itself. But we don\u2019t stop there.<\/p>\n<p>We work with each of our patients to come up with an individualized plan that tackles migraines from every angle \u2014 from trigger avoidance to using <strong>Botox\u00ae<\/strong>, we leave no stone unturned when it comes to finding you much-needed relief.<\/p>\n<p>If migraines are having a serious impact on your life, please give us a call so we can get started on a treatment plan that frees you from the bonds of head pain. Or you can use the online scheduling tool on this website to book an appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To say that migraines are a common problem would be [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":248,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
