How a Chiropractor Can Help Prevent and Reduce Patients Migraines and Headaches

Until you experience a migraine, you don’t fully understand the severe pain it causes. Migraines can last hours or days and hinder your ability to perform daily tasks and activities. Sometimes, migraines can even cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and sensitivity to light and sound. These effects make chronic migraines extremely difficult to complete day-to-day tasks.

While migraines and neck or back pain may seem unrelated, studies suggest the two can be related. Pain and muscle tension in your back, shoulders, or neck can trigger both migraines and headaches. Chiropractic care can help reduce both the intensity and frequency of migraines. Chiropractic care to treat migraines and headaches is known as spinal manipulation. Are you wondering how this works?

Spinal manipulation can…

·Restore your body’s normal blood flow

·Strengthen your muscles

·Decrease irritation

·Reduce muscle tension

·Realign your spine

Both muscle tension and irritation can trigger a migraine, so chiropractic care can help reduce and eliminate these triggers. Proper alignment of your spine can also restore effective nervous system communication, as spinal misalignment is a major cause of migraines and headaches. A chiropractor can also oftentimes pinpoint your migraine triggers to help prevent them in the future.

While chiropractic care can be extremely beneficial for those who suffer from migraines or headaches, it should be used in combination with other medical treatments for migraines. If you are looking to take the steps to take back control of your life and reduce the intensity of your migraines, Dr. Allan Sicignano is here to help.

There are really no set rules on how often someone should go see a chiropractor. It differs from person to person. Some people go as frequently as once a week, while others go once a month. The frequency of how often you go really depends on what you are going for. Someone with chronic pain in their neck or back might only go when they feel pain, while someone with an injury will usually go more frequently. The best thing to do when you’re dealing with any pain that requires chiropractic services is to make an appointment with a chiropractor to talk about it. Some sports injuries may require frequent follow up visits to make sure the patient is getting the most out of their chiropractic services and recovering well. The same thing applies when a patient comes in after being in a car accident. However, chronic aches and pains are often not the same. Most chiropractors will schedule the next appointment the day they see each patient. Any patient with chronic pains should see a chiropractor at least once a month to be adjusted. If the patient’s chronic pain is more severe, their chiropractor may recommend they come more frequently. The frequency at which you receive chiropractic care varies on a case to case basis. At Spring Street Chiropractic, our chiropractors are focused on providing the best customer services for all of their patients. Contact us today to make an appointment. We currently serve patients in Manhattan, NYC; SoHo, NYC, and Tribeca, NYC.
