Preventing Headaches & Migraines From Your Chesapeake Chiropractor
Headaches and migraines can keep you from fully enjoying life. In cases of severe headaches or migraines, they can temporarily short-circuit a days work, a family dinner, or just a pleasant evening of watching television. While not much is known about migraine headaches in particular, there are steps you can take to better prevent headaches. Migraine treatment from your Chesapeake VA chiropractor at Atlantic Chiropractic and Rehabilitation can also lessen the frequency and intensity of headaches.
Symptoms and Prevention Tips
Headaches can be dull or piercing. You may feel a headache coming on from the back of the head, around the temples and even from tension in the neck and shoulders. Many experience headache pain that seems to come from behind the eyes. You can first prevent headaches better by chronicling what your headache “triggers” may be. It may be certain foods like chocolates or beverages like coffee or colas. It may be the lighting in certain areas or even strong odors. If you can determine what these triggers may be, you can better avoid them.
Headaches can also be minimized by reducing stress, getting more exercise, eating properly and not skipping meals. Even some medications taken for headache relief can actually increase the number of headaches over time. That's, in part, why natural headache treatment at your Chesapeake VA chiropractor is such a valuable option for many.
Headache and Migraine Treatment at Atlantic Chiropractic & Rehabilitation
A great number of headaches are caused by a misalignment of the neuromuscular system in the back and neck area. Keep in mind, this is the very area where all nerves travel from the brain through the rest of the body. When muscles, nerves and the spine aren't functioning properly together, the result can be pain, many times in the neck and head. Our all-natural headache and migraine treatment options are designed this put this system in better balance. Many times, chiropractic adjustments can relieve the pressure that builds up in these areas, minimizing frequency and intensity. Often, treatments are followed by rejuvenating massage therapy to accentuate the beneficial effects.
