The connection between bra size and headaches may be surprising for many women. In case you didn't know, women are more prone to headaches and migraines for reasons unique to them. Women looking for migraine relief in Vancouver may be shocked to find out the possible reasons for their migraine-related pain and discomfort.
If you're a woman, you have probably encountered headaches or migraine attacks related to your period or when facing a stressful event. But some women who experience severe headaches might be wearing the wrong bra size, putting unnecessary pressure on their necks.
If your bra does not fit properly, you might be straining your neck, which can lead to headaches. In addition, women who wear incorrect bra sizes, particularly tight ones, may also experience back, shoulder, breast, and neck pain. This unnecessary discomfort can bring you additional stress and eventually trigger a migraine episode. If you wish to find lasting migraine relief in Vancouver, it will help to eliminate stressors that trigger your episodes.
Wearing tighter bras than your recommended size can also lead to improper weight distribution and bad posture. Bad posture stresses your spine and can lead to misalignment of your vertebrae. When your bones are misaligned, you can develop different health concerns that can bring headaches or migraine.
Apart from the stress women get from the discomfort of wearing the wrong bra size, fluctuation of hormone levels may also trigger migraine episodes for women. An increase or decrease in a woman's estrogen levels can bring headaches, typically in the form of a migraine. Women experience changes in their hormone levels on several occasions, such as their monthly periods, pregnancy, or during menopause.
If your headaches and migraines remain persistent despite not being affected by hormones or after changing your bra size, your upper cervical spine might need an assessment for misalignment. This is because your spine's topmost bones are prone to misalignment; even the slightest structural changes can manifest physically through pain and discomfort, such as migraines or headaches.
To have your upper cervical spine checked, you can book an appointment with any of our upper cervical chiropractic doctors. If they confirm a misalignment in your spine, they will recommend a customized approach to correct the alignment. Once our upper cervical doctor corrects your neck bone misalignment, your body can potentially start healing naturally.
