Migraine headache is a painful problem, which needs to be understood and controlled on a number of fronts. Noting and avoiding what may trigger them is the first step to beating the unrelenting pain they produce. The next step is to get your spine checked and treated by a chiropractor to enable each joint and muscle to work at optimum levels. Most headache is caused by problems in the joints and muscles of the neck, which refer pain to various points in the head.
Stress is a major trigger for most headaches including migraines. Tension-type headaches result when muscles in the neck, shoulders and head tense up, limiting blood flow to the area and building up waste products in the tissues. Many migraines start with tension headache. Chiropractors are dealing daily with the effects of stress in the body. The adjustments they make to the spine restore joint function and remove the blocks that the stress causes.
