How to Make Those Migraines Go Away Naturally
Heightened sensitivity to light and sound. Nausea. Affected vision, such as an aura. These are all symptoms of a migraine, a severe form of headache that can be debilitating, making it extremely challenging for sufferers to go about their daily tasks. Chiropractic care, particularly Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP), can help alleviate migraines without medication.
What Causes Them?
It’s thought that migraines are due to abnormal brain activity, which can be triggered by several factors such as stress, certain foods, or hormonal changes. The pain experienced during a migraine attack is often intense and pulsating, affecting one side of the head.
The Role of Chiropractic Care & CBP
If you’re looking for a drug-free way to manage your migraines, consider chiropractic care, as it’s an incredibly effective solution. Spinal manipulations are used to correct misalignments or subluxations that may contribute to migraines.
Chiropractic BioPhysics® combines biology, physics, geometry, and anatomy to pinpoint the causes of your pain. It’s a more comprehensive approach aiming to restore your body’s balance. Correcting spinal alignment with CBP reduces nerve interference, potentially relieving migraine symptoms.
What to Expect
During a CBP session, Dr. Dan or Dr. Pascal uses precise measurements and unique analytical tools to understand your spine’s curvature. They then put together a treatment plan involving adjustments, exercises, and traction to correct spinal alignment.
Home Care Strategies
There are also some things you can do at home to help reduce the frequency of your migraines:
Keep a Consistent Sleep Schedule: If your sleep patterns get disrupted migraines can result. That’s why it’s a good idea to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day; yes, even on weekends. Also, ensure your sleeping environment is conducive to rest, with minimal light and noise. You can use blackout curtains, eye masks, and white noise machines if needed.
Stay Hydrated and Eat Regularly: Dehydration and irregular meal times can both trigger migraines. Be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day and try to eat balanced meals at regular intervals. Avoid skipping meals, and limit foods you’ve noticed may trigger your migraines, such as artificial sweeteners, aged cheeses, and processed meats.
Manage Stress: Unsurprisingly, migraines can be triggered by tension, so it’s important to implement stress-reduction practices to reduce the frequency of migraine attacks. Consider yoga, meditation, deep-breathing exercises, and regular physical activity, which can help.
