When the brainstem, located near the top of the neck malfunctions, it increases the swelling of blood vessels surrounding the brain, setting up a chain reaction that results in a migraine headache.
A misalignment in the upper cervical spine (neck) can affect the function of the brainstem. This, in turn, can cause migraine headaches.
Visit an EPIC Clinic to learn more about how your spine’s misalignment can be causing migraines.
If you are currently living with migraine headaches, you know the classic symptoms of pain, sensitivity to light or sound, nausea, and vomiting.
Some migraine sufferers also experience visual disturbances, numbness, tingling, clumsiness, or have difficulty communicating. Typical medical treatments include both over-the-counter and prescription drugs. However, if you’ve seen the drug ads on TV or read the Physician’s Desk Reference, you know that all of the common migraine drugs are potentially dangerous and can cause serious side effects.
Migraines can be triggered by a number of factors including stress, excessive light or sound, fatigue, hunger, diet, hormonal changes, weather changes, caffeine, cigarette smoke, head trauma, neck movements, and even the use of a low pillow. However, it is important to understand that these “trigger factors” do not cause migraine headaches.
Dr. Seymour Diamond, Executive Director of the National Headache Foundation, has announced that new imaging techniques now allow scientists to identify what they believe to be a cause of migraines: a malfunctioning brainstem.
Upper cervical corrections oftentimes provide immediate relief to migraine sufferers by removing pressure from the brainstem and increasing blood flow.
