You've been coming in for NUCCA Care for a while. So, you start to wonder, "How long does it take for NUCCA Care to relieve my migraine headaches?" and "How often should I keep seeing a chiropractor for migraine in Vancouver to ensure lasting relief?". Understandably, you only want to see results. After all, you've painstakingly tried to find an option that works. You're desperate to see improvements. You tell yourself: It has to end. I deserve better and want more time for my family and the things I cherish most.
We hear you! Let's help you set your expectations so you can understand how NUCCA can turn things around for you, despite having chronic migraine symptoms.
We always tell our patients that neck bone misalignments don't happen instantly. Instead, they can develop years after the initial accident that caused whiplash or concussions. Ligaments holding the neck bones in place often suffer gradual damage until the atlas and axis bones shift out of place. Your posture can also significantly contribute to the changes in your spine. So, for example, the more you slouch or lean forward while sitting in front of your desk, in your car, or perhaps on a train or bus, the more pressure you place onto your spine and Upper Cervical neck bones.
Naturally, restoring your Upper Cervical bones' neutral alignment won't happen overnight either. It's a healing process that could take weeks or months, depending on factors like your posture practices, underlying spinal problems, and the length of time the neck bone subluxation has persisted.
Nevertheless, you can expect improvements after your first few adjustments. That's because restoring the neck alignment relaxes the tight muscles along the neck, allowing for proper cerebrospinal fluid drainage and cerebral blood flow, and uninterrupted nerve signal transmission.
Also, regular NUCCA consultations will help you check how well your previous adjustments are holding. This will give you peace of mind and provide you with ample guidance on how to better care for your body.
So, "How long does it take to see results after seeking NUCCA Care?" The answer really depends on how quickly your cervical spine alignment gets restored. The more you commit to caring for your cervical spine with the help of Dr. Perin and the more effort you put into maintaining proper posture, the sooner you can dampen the effects of your migraine symptoms.
