Migraine Medications + a Natural Alternative for Patients

migraine-medications-a-natural-alternative-for-patients

Migraines is one of the conditions we resolve as upper cervical chiropractors in Vancouver, WA. If you have migraines, you have a lot of company. In the United States alone, about 39 million people have migraines. This neurological disorder brings debilitating symptoms, causing patients to be out of commission for a short period.

When a migraine hits, many patients have no choice but to stay in a cool, dark room to rest until the pain goes away. Medications are often involved in dealing with a migraine episode successfully. However, they may come with side effects and can be dangerous if used long-term.

 

Medication for Migraine Relief

Doctors often prescribe two types of medication to migraine patients. 

  • Preventative medications

These are given to reduce the frequency and severity of migraines. These medications are for daily use. Some of the known medications in this group are antidepressants, cardiovascular drugs, and 

anti-seizure medications. Botox is also used and injected around the head and neck to prevent migraines. 

  • Pain relievers

These anti-pain medications include over-the-counter pills such as ibuprofen, aspirin, and Tylenol. There are also stronger prescription drugs, such as narcotics and opioids. Triptans are also under this category. Another option is drugs like Imitrex that tightens blood vessels and blocks pain trails in the brain. 

 

A Natural Relief Alternative for Migraines

More and more patients seek out natural alternatives to care for their migraines. Upper cervical chiropractic care is an effective option to get rid of migraines naturally. Here at Balanced Living in Vancouver, Washington, we use a gentle method to move back the top bones of the neck that are out of proper alignment. This is often the root cause of migraines. The technique we use is extremely gentle and precise as we utilize x-rays and diagnostic imaging to locate misalignments. Many of our patients report seeing significant improvement in their migraines after only a few adjustments. Contact us to set an appointment.
