Ellenville NY Chiropractic Care For Migraine Headaches

By Amie Murrieta


Suffering from chronic migraines can be daunting and frustrating, particularly when medications alone offer little relief. The pain experienced with a migraine often results in changing schedules or missing out on many of life's events. When medications prove to be of little help, Ellenville NY chiropractic care may be just what is needed to help reduce the number of migraines experienced.

Migraine headaches are sometimes caused by stress, certain types of foods, flashing lights or hormonal imbalances - typically a lot of migraine sufferers are women, because of hormones. Some migraine sufferers experience sensitivity to light and sound and/or nausea.

A 2011 JMPT study, however, found that chiropractic care can relieve migraine symptoms. Although avoiding environmental triggers is obviously the best way to stay headache free, not all triggers can be avoided. Drinking plenty of water can also help. Chiropractic care can help relieve symptoms and reduce the number of migraines alone, or in combination with more traditional therapy. A chiropractor may also advise on exercises that can help.

Triggers that bring on migraines can be nearly anything a sufferer is exposed to on a prolonged basis, including stress, indoor florescent lighting, and changes in hormone levels. In some cases, side effects of other medications and dehydration can be to blame. Making lifestyle changes, adjusting diets, and increasing water intake are just a few things that a chiropractor will discuss as part of a plan to alleviate migraines.

Additionally, one method that can benefit a migraine sufferer is chiropractic care. Avoiding known triggers can aid in avoidance, but a chiropractor can help with reducing the severity and number of migraines experienced. Chiropractic care often involves more than spinal manipulation.

An Ellenville NY chiropractic visit may also involve additional advice including recommendations for acupuncture, massage, changes in activities, and adding beneficial supplements.
