Migraine Headache Sufferers Find Relief With Ellenville Chiropractor After Years Of Pain

By Mary Badder


The type of headache known as a migraine is more severe than most others. There are two kinds of migraines. One is with aura and the other is without. An aura is a visual disturbance such as bright or flashing lights. Your Ellenville NY Chiropractor will confirm the fact that migraines are usually accompanied by nausea and sometimes vomiting.

The onset of the first one is usually before age thirty. More women than men are stricken, although chiropractors report an increase in men seeking help for them. They have a detrimental effect on the economy because people cannot go to work. Research shows that migraines cause loss of earnings amounting to billions of dollars each year.

One major nerve, the trigeminal, is thought to have some connection to migraines. Another contributing factor may be one or more of the seven cervical vertebrae being subluxated, which is the chiropractic term for misaligned. No single cause can be confirmed.

A subluxation, which is a misalignment of the spinal vertebrae, may press against nerve roots and interfere with functioning of the nervous system. One middle-aged woman suffered from these headaches for over forty years. Her pain was alleviated over a three month period of chiropractic adjustments to correct the subluxation.

A first office appointment is spent talking about the headaches, how long they last and how frequently they occur. A medical history and a physical examination of the spine is done. Often an x-ray is needed. Following this thorough evaluation a plan can be made for reducing the pain.

With each of the scheduled appointments, the subluxation was gradually eased back into the correct position. The pressure was lifted. Massages relaxed the tense muscles in his neck and shoulders. A specially devised exercise regimen was suggested. It helped to keep the muscles relaxed between appointments.
