Almost 39 million people from the United States of America suffer from migraines. In Washington alone, many patients are looking for Vancouver migraine relief. However, not everybody realizes that migraines are not just really severe headaches.
Migraines are a neurological condition that appears in four major phases. Let’s take a glimpse into each phase and see the symptoms that accompany each stage:
#1 Prodrome Phase
This phase comes on a few hours before the head pain starts. This stage can cause you to:
#2 Aura Phase
Not everybody with migraines experiences going through this phase. Those that have an aura may feel:
#3 Attack Phase
This phase is when the head pain hits, which can last for a few hours or even a few days. You will most likely experience:
#4 Postdrome Phase
This stage is sometimes called the migraine hangover. The symptoms include:
It’s an excellent idea to have your upper cervical spine evaluated by an upper cervical chiropractor when you experience migraine attacks.
Here at Balanced Living Chiropractic in Vancouver, Washington, we will examine your neck thoroughly to check if any misalignments are present. If there is one, it may be causing pressure on your brainstem. Such an event can lead to the start of migraines.
Our upper cervical chiropractors use an exact and gentle technique that encourages the misaligned bones to move back into proper alignment. Once corrected, the body starts to heal itself from the damage, so adequate transmission of signals to the brain becomes normal again. Thus, it would lead to a significant improvement or elimination of migraines.
