Migraine Relief in Hendersonville, NC
It doesn’t matter if a person has an aura or not when a migraine hits they just want relief. Chances are, very little help will come from taking one prescription after another. In fact, this can make migraines worse or cause unwanted side effects. One way to find relief begins with seeking the care of an upper cervical chiropractor.
The upper neck vertebrae can be misaligned by just ¼ of a millimeter, and this can affect a number of systems in the body. It may hinder the body and brain from communicating properly. Proper flow of blood and cerebrospinal fluid are also restricted. This can lead to a migraine.
I have been specifically trained as to how to correct this type of misalignment. Once corrected, many patients have reported a decrease in intensity and severity of migraines. Some see their migraines go away entirely.
