Extreme vs. Natural Relief for Migraines – Which is Better?

chiropractor for migraine in Vancouver

Having migraines while you’re doing activities at home, work, or school can be quite a nightmarish experience. The pulsating or throbbing sensation on one side of your head may prevent you from concentrating, let alone finish what you need to do.

Fortunately, you have options to minimize your migraine’s frequency and intensity. Two of the most popular choices for migraine relief so far are getting help from a chiropractor for migraine in Vancouver and taking an extreme measure to rid of the symptoms. Let’s weigh in on both options and see which one may provide you with what you need. 

 

An Extreme Option for Migraine Relief

Many migraineurs don’t mind seeking extreme options to ease their pain due to desperate situations. When pain medications no longer provide much-needed relief, some people try getting a forehead lift or an eyebrow lift. Essentially, it’s a plastic surgery procedure designed to address common signs of aging on the facial skin, such as frown lines or sagging eyebrows. 

However, some doctors believe that besides smoothing aged skin, the procedure also helps migraineurs. By decompressing the nerves found on the head, this surgical procedure helps alleviate pain caused by a migraine attack. Over the years, it is used on hundreds of patients and reports massive success. However, it may come with a few risks, such as:

  • Hematoma on the surgically improved area
  • Temporary or permanent facial nerve damage
  • Slow-healing wounds
  • Tingling or numbing sensation on the face
  • Pain that doesn't resolve on its own 

 

Care from a Chiropractor for Migraine in Vancouver – The Natural Option

Here at Balanced Living Chiropractic, we can help you manage your migraine attacks naturally. By receiving care from our chiropractor for migraine in Vancouver, we hope you can better cope with your symptoms. This way, you can enjoy doing your chores or work uninterrupted. 

We focus on restoring the normal and neutral alignment of the upper cervical bones. Most folks who come to our clinic aren’t aware that they have misaligned neck bones. Usually, that’s because a spine misalignment gradually occurs, so spotting the difference can be quite tricky without the help of digital imaging and other diagnostic procedures.    

Let us help you correct the problem with your neck or spinal bone alignment. This way, you can initiate natural body healing, even without the help of a forehead lift. It’s a slow and gradual process that allows your bones to realign and help you manage your head pain more effectively.

Balanced Living Chiropractic
At the age of 11, Dr. Perin decided he wanted to become a Chiropractor, after receiving beneficial care from a local Doctor to correct his mild Scoliosis symptoms. After graduating from high school, he married the love of his life, started his family, and began actively pursuing his dream. In 2006, he moved his family of 4 to begin his education at LCCW. While in his first quarters of education, he was introduced to the NUCCA technique by a classmate and close friend, and felt that given it’s highly researched background and documented results, it was the technique that would best allow him to restore the body’s balance, alleviate pain, and optimize health.
We use a highly precise, physics‑ and math‑based analysis system to determine the exact pathway and corrective adjustments needed to bring your body back into proper alignment.
