Migrane Headaches

Migraine Headaches are very common and can be very debilitating, but can be treated with a holistic approach. http://ilpainrelief.com/

Symptoms of Migraines:

Some of the symptoms that I have treated patients for in my office in Lake Zurich include the blinding pain of migraines, light sensitivity, nausea and countless other problems. Some migraines may be caused by stress or by pinched nerves in the neck, so through careful adjustments, special exercises and regular treatment, we can work as a team to relieve the symptoms.

There are many causes of migraines and I have treated many of them in Lake Zurich, involving many different types of these terribly painful headaches. Although much about the cause of migraines isn't understood, genetics and environmental factors seem to both play a role.

Migraines may be caused by changes in the brain-stem and its interactions with the trigeminal nerve, a major pain pathway. Imbalances in brain chemicals, including serotonin — which helps regulate pain in your nervous system — also may be involved. Serotonin levels drop during migraine attacks. This may trigger your trigeminal system to release substances called neuropeptides, which travel to your brain's outer covering (meninges). The result is headache pain.

Migraines are extremely common. Some of the patients that I see here in Lake Zurich are dealing with chronic migraines that can be triggered by hormones, environmental factors or changes, changes in sleeping patterns, physical exertion or even side effects of medications, especially oral contraceptives and vasodilators, such as nitroglycerin.  

Treatment of Migraines:

As a chiropractor in Lake Zurich, I specialize in treating the pain and underlying cause of these migraines as well as relieving the pain and stiffness that can affect the neck or upper back because of them. I can help you to learn to deal with some of the pain of these migraines, working to eliminate it completely.
