How Chiropractic Care Can Help Relieve Migraines

November 13, 2024

Migraines can be debilitating, affecting every aspect of daily life. Those who suffer from them often search for effective, long-term solutions beyond traditional medications. At Anatomy Chiropractic in San Diego, we offer specialized chiropractic care, including upper cervical and low-force techniques, to help manage and reduce migraine frequency and severity.

What Causes Migraines?

Migraines can be triggered by various factors, including stress, hormonal changes, certain foods, and environmental factors. One often overlooked cause is spinal misalignment, particularly in the upper cervical spine, which can affect blood flow and nerve function, contributing to migraines.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

  1. Restoring Alignment: Misalignments in the upper cervical spine (the top part of your spine near the neck) can increase pressure on nerves, triggering or worsening migraines. Upper cervical chiropractic adjustments gently align this area, which can help relieve nerve tension and reduce migraine occurrence.
  2. Low-Force Chiropractic Techniques: At Anatomy Chiropractic, we use low-force techniques like the Activator Method, which involves a gentle, instrument-based adjustment without cracking or popping. This approach is ideal for individuals seeking a non-invasive, pain-free treatment option.
  3. Low-Level Laser Therapy: This innovative therapy uses specific wavelengths of red light to promote pain relief and reduce inflammation, addressing the root of migraine pain without the side effects associated with medication.
