Edmonton Headache Sufferers Find Relief Through Chiropractic Care

By Donna Beley


The majority of folks have headaches that are brought on by muscle tightening or tension. For the most part this pain is mild and will be gone in a matter of a few hours. However, those who suffer with migraines are in another category altogether. The pain can be disabling and sometime accompanied by nausea and vomiting. When folks experience frequent migraines they should see an Edmonton chiropractic care professional.

Many folks who have these headaches experience such severe discomfort that they visit the emergency room to find relief or just wait it out suffering silently. Migraines can cause a person to be very sensitive to sound and light while experiencing them. It is common for folks to become nauseous and vomit as a result of the severe pain.

There are over-the-counter and prescription medications that claim to alleviate the severe discomfort of the migraine. Unfortunately, these medicines do not always work and they are only a temporary fix. It is a good idea to schedule an appointment with a chiropractor to help find a more permanent way to relieve the pain.

When you visit this professional, you will have a complete assessment to determine the root of the problem. The chiropractor will examine your neck and spine and gather your medical history. In addition, the practitioner may order an xray to help determine the cause of your pain.

Once you have completed a full evaluation, the provider will develop an individual plan of therapy. This plan might include spinal adjustments that have proved to be very effective. Massage might also be used in addition to specific exercises.

The care provider may also advise you on how to avoid future headaches. There are certain exercises that can be recommended to help relieve stress and tension that can cause migraines. Although there is no permanent remedy, the pain from these headaches can be relieved when one occurs.
