Most people assume chiropractic care applies to the treatment of back pain and injuries—but chiropractors frequently treat chronic migraines and tension headaches too, as these ailments are often caused by spinal misalignments (subluxations). If you’re struggling with migraines or similar issues, Southgate Chiropractic strongly encourages you to consider their services.

If conventional treatments aren’t working for you, here are a few ways a chiropractor can help:

• Provide Longer-Lasting Relief: Chiropractic care gives you lasting pain relief with minimal side effects, because chiropractors target the root cause of your ailments rather than just the symptoms. You’ll continue to benefit even after your treatment sessions end.
• Improve Blood Circulation: Migraines are caused by blood vessel constriction and subsequent dilation, and lead to increased blood pressure in the head; many headaches are also associated with changes in circulation. Chiropractic care and massage therapy help in these situations by promoting circulation throughout the body.
• Relieve Neck Pain: Many headaches are caused from tightness in the neck muscles. Luckily, chiropractors are skilled at relieving tension and tightness in the back and neck.
• Align the Spine: Tension headaches, which are the most common type of headache, are frequently caused by muscle spasms triggered by spinal subluxations. With the appropriate spinal adjustments, however, a chiropractor can significantly reduce a patient’s tension headaches.
• Prevent Migraine Formation: Some of the most common triggers for migraine formation include increased stress, poor sleep, and certain environmental changes. Since chiropractic care is frequently used to improve sleep function and alleviate stress, it can decrease the frequency with which you develop migraines.
