Migraines

Migraines are more than just severe headaches—they are a complex neurological condition that can cause intense throbbing pain, nausea, visual disturbances, and sensitivity to light or sound. Migraines can last for hours or even days, significantly impacting your ability to work, socialize, or enjoy life. While migraines often have specific triggers, addressing their root causes is key to long-term relief.

Common Causes of Migraines

Neurological Factors: Overactive nerve pathways or imbalances in brain chemicals can trigger migraines.
Spinal Misalignment: Misalignments in the upper cervical spine can irritate nerves and impact blood flow to the brain, contributing to migraines.
Stress and Tension: Emotional or physical stress can act as a trigger, leading to muscle tightness and nerve irritation.
Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormones, especially in women, can make migraines more likely.
Dietary Triggers: Caffeine, alcohol, and certain foods can provoke migraine attacks.
Environmental Factors: Bright lights, loud noises, or changes in weather can trigger migraines in sensitive individuals.
