Patients pursuing migraine relief in Vancouver know how this condition ruins your day altogether. Why? For starters, its symptoms can interfere with your day. Imagine if you’ve been waiting for a specific day, say your wedding day or any special occasion, and suddenly there’s a migraine. You may think, what a disaster! But don’t lose hope. Despite not having a cure just yet, there are ways to dampen the effects of migraine, and we listed some of them below.
If you’re highly anticipating a special day, there may be a buildup of stress that can trigger a migraine. But days before a highly anticipated day, we’ve rounded up simple tips that can help you prevent a migraine episode so you can enjoy the special day without worries.
This is beneficial even when not anticipating a big event. Poor sleeping habits can trigger headaches that can worsen and develop into migraine. We recommend getting 8 hours of restful sleep. When seeking migraine relief in Vancouver, you can also mention any sleeping problems you suspect are triggering your migraine so your medical doctor or upper cervical physician can help you better.
Some people swear by the benefits of essential oils when dealing with headaches and migraine. The most popular essential oil options for headaches are rosemary, chamomile, lavender, and peppermint.
When used for aromatherapy, essential oils can help relax the muscles, ease tension, and reduce pain. For a few days leading to the big day, diffuse essential oils to relieve your tensed muscles and minimize the risks of headaches. Additionally, they can make smell good and stimulate the release of feel-good hormones such as endorphins that can improve your mood, enhance mental clarity, and ease your tension.
Sure there are simple remedies to prevent or manage migraine episodes, but looking for a strategic way to achieve long-term migraine relief in Vancouver proves to be more beneficial beyond that one day you’re preparing for. A misalignment in your upper spine is likely among your migraine triggers. Thankfully, you can correct the postural misalignment and lessen the severity and frequency of your migraine symptoms with the help of gentle upper cervical adjustments.
