One problem with diagnosing and treating migraines is that they may be caused by a number of factors. For example, some things that may aggravate these painful headaches are hormone changes, allergies, fatigue, stress, or even certain kinds of food and drink. The things that aggravate migraines in individuals are called triggers, and they are often unique for each patient. There are even many migraine sufferers who have no idea what they do that triggers their painful or disabling symptoms.
While some suffer from agonizing pain, others are more bothered by visual symptoms. No matter how disruptive these symptoms are, many patients would prefer not to rely upon strong medications that may have unpleasant side effects. They would prefer to rely upon more natural remedies and chiropractors offer natural treatments that are based upon years of scientific research.
Doctors of chiropractic, usually called chiropractors, may offer an effective, natural treatment for migraine sufferers. In fact, a study from Macquarie University found that seventy percent of test subjects enjoyed either noticeable or substantial improvement in symptoms after undergoing chiropractic treatment. Of the test subjects, 22 percent said they enjoyed more than a 90 percent improvement in their migraines.
The subjects rated the treatments over the six-month study period. They gave positive ratings if their migraines did not occur as frequently, did not last as long, or required less medication to control.
Chiropractors use natural means to reduce or eliminate migraine symptoms. Spinal manipulation (adjustments) can help relieve pressure on the neck and skull. In addition, the chiropractor will work with you to pinpoint and eliminate migraine triggers. In some cases, he may send you home with some exercises to practice every day and a suggested diet. If you take medication or have other health issues, the chiropractor can work with your doctor.
