Choose A Healthier Lifestyle and Decrease your Migraines with A Chiropractor near You

Aug 17, 2022 -- Posted by : Dr.Harcourt

There are two types of migraines: The classical and the common.

The classical migraine headache may start with nausea or sickness in the stomach and proceed to an intense throbbing pain on one side of the head. The common migraine lacks the nausea that the classical migraine has.

We often pay more attention to warning signs around our homes and in our vehicles rather than the most important home of all: our bodies. When your neck muscles ache, this is a signal. And when a headache occurs, the signal is getting louder and louder. But are we listening? Many think of these signals as just signals and not the actual problem. When you take pain medication to stop the signal, rarely is this actually addressing the problem.

Many different research studies have shown that spinal sprains and injuries can produce head pain. Randomized clinical trials have shown that when these spinal problems are addressed with adjustments, the headaches largely disappear and do so without the side effects commonly seen with prescription medications. Incorporating pain pills as part of your daily diet may be a health concern, side effects from these types of medications are rare, but their risks do increase with long-term use.

Living a healthier lifestyle isn’t easy, especially after years or decades of unhealthy habits. Your doctor of chiropractic can answer nutrition and fitness-related questions and even show you exercises that may be a better fit for your current situation. If aches and pains are getting in the way, your chiropractor can provide treatment in the office to help restore normal motion so that you can stay active—especially when it comes to the cervical spine as dysfunction in the neck has been shown to play some role in the migraine process.

So, if you are experiencing migraines and type in pain management near me or chiropractor near me, you may find Coast Chiropractic Centers with Dr. Timothy Harcourt, me, comes up. 

You may wonder, “Do I need an MRI scan of my brain or neck.” Also, if you feel arm pain it may indicate things are getting worse and may indicate a bulge on the disc or worse yet a herniated disc in your neck.  Some people have a feeling of their “head aching.”

What type of headache is it to include tension headaches, cluster headaches, migraine headaches, sinus headaches, or toxic headaches? 

Regardless of the type, it can leave you feeling exhausted fatigued, nauseous, and even depressed. Some get severe headache pain behind the eyes.  Persistent or worsening pain intensity and/or frequency necessitates a visit to see a professional near you.
