When searching for a helpful and practical migraine and headache remedy, you will most likely come across several resources. Chances are a few of them include tips like “schedule a visit to a chiropractic office in Vancouver” or “get your upper neck bones adjusted”. But how does this option really work? More importantly, is it worth trying for chronic migraines and headaches?
You might not believe that your neck holds the key to preventing some of the most painful symptoms. That’s because most people only associate the neck with functions like keeping the head upright or allowing maximum head movements. However, if you look beyond the obvious, you will realize that the neck bones encase one of the body's most sensitive parts: the brainstem.
Essentially, the brainstem serves as a dispatch center of information. It’s the direct line of communication between your brain and the rest of your organs.
What do you think would happen if your C1 and C2 neck bones press on the brainstem?
Naturally, this would cause the tissue to misfire information, eventually activating the body’s hypersensitive mode. Also, the bones can slow down the drainage of cerebrospinal fluid and blood from the head, increasing intracranial pressure and leaving you prone to crippling symptoms such as migraine attacks and headaches.
It is frustrating to deal with headaches and migraine attacks, especially if the symptoms recur every month. Thankfully, you can potentially address the root cause of your pain and discomfort when you schedule a visit at our chiropractic office in Vancouver and get neck adjustments.
