Therapy From Sydney Australia Doctor Alleviates Migraine Headaches With Chiropractic

By Derick Scartel


Migraine pain has affected humans for thousands of years. In an attempt to relieve the pain, many different therapies have been attempted. Three thousand years ago, when evil spirits were blamed for the headache pain, people had a hole drilled in their skull to let them out. Fortunately, there are better options available today. A Sydney chiropractor offers non-invasive help for migraines.

While there are several explanations for the cause of migraines, no one is certain of their exact cause. One of the more popular theories placed blame on a chemical imbalance in one's brain. Triggers, including certain foods or hormones cause dilation of capillaries in the brain. The vessels become inflamed and cause nerve fiber irritation. As a result, the person feels pain.

While some find pain relief through medication, the approach does not work for all. Some times patients find the side effects of the medication worse than the symptoms of a migraine. This has caused many to turn to chiropractic for help.

Chiropractors believe some migraines originate in the spine. When vertebrae become misaligned in a condition known as a subluxation, nerves that travel through the spine become irritated. The condition can increase the occurrence of chemical imbalances in one's brain. By realigning the spine using chiropractic, pressure is relieved form nerves allowing them to heal and reducing the chances of headache.

In addition to spinal adjustments, individuals may reduce their chances of a migraine by gently stretching the neck. They should take frequent breaks if required to remain in the same position for extended periods, such as at a computer. In addition, a firm pillow to support the neck when sleeping may be useful.
