Migraines can be debilitating, significantly reducing work productivity and disrupting sleep. At Back To Health Family Chiropractic in Fort Worth, TX, we offer an effective treatment through Atlas Orthogonal precise upper cervical adjustments. These adjustments not only relieve your pain but also bring hope for a return to optimal function. We invite you to explore the common causes and our approach to migraine relief below.
Causes of Migraines
Migraines are complex neurological events that a variety of factors can trigger. Some common causes include:
- Stress – high stress, anxiety, or intense emotions
- Hormonal changes – fluctuations in estrogen levels
- Diet – processed foods, alcohol, dehydration, and excessive or insufficient caffeine intake
- Posture – poor posture and neck tension
- Genetics – individuals with a family history of migraines
- Weather changes – air pressure or altitude changes
Recognizing the Symptoms
Migraines usually cause a throbbing headache that is centralized on one side of the head and may be accompanied by nausea and heightened sensitivity to light, sound, or odors. Some individuals experience visual disturbances, known as aura, before the headache begins. These symptoms can persist for several hours or even days, significantly impairing daily activities.
Migraine Treatment
The only Board Certified Atlas Orthogonist in Texas, Dr. Chris Michlin, utilizes the Atlas Orthogonal Precision Adjusting Instrument to treat migraines. This treatment involves precise upper cervical adjustments that target misalignments in the cervical spine, specifically the Atlas (C1), the topmost vertebra. The process is non-invasive and painless.
When the Atlas is misaligned, several physiological issues may occur, including nerve irritation, restricted blood flow, and increased physical stress, all of which contribute to migraines. By restoring alignment, Atlas Orthogonal adjustments help reduce nerve irritation, improve blood circulation, and minimize stress levels, ultimately decreasing both the frequency and severity of migraines.
Preventing Migraines
To prevent migraines, it is essential to identify and avoid common triggers such as stress, certain foods, and environmental factors. Establishing a consistent sleep schedule, staying hydrated, and managing stress through relaxation techniques can also help. Our team can recommend exercises and lifestyle changes to further alleviate your discomfort.
