Relief of Chronic Headaches in McKinney TexasAnyone who suffers from chronic headaches understands how much it impacts daily life.  Migraines and other headache types can be difficult to classify or diagnose, and the stress of not knowing when the next episode might occur can also be very debilitating.  Treatment options can be confusing and may not provide the relief that so many migraine sufferers are seeking out.

Causes of Migraines

While the exact cause of migraines has not been precisely pinpointed, there are certain known facts about migraines that can help explain their origin.1-2

In a study of 101 patients who suffered with a variety of headache types as well as migraines, 87 of them had a prior injury to the upper neck.3 Even minor incidences that a person may not view as an injury can sometimes have the potential to create an upper cervical misalignment, or subluxation, due to the biomechanical instability of that area of the spine.

 

Migraines and Upper Cervical Chiropractors

Upper cervical chiropractors are experts in the area of the upper neck, and chiropractors such as Dr. Crowder are helping migraine sufferers in McKinney Texas regain their quality of life.  Dr. Crowder utilizes a highly specialized method of analysis in order to determine if and how those top two bones in the neck have deviated from normal anatomical alignment.  Once that is established, an adjustment is made and the healing process is allowed to begin.  Proper blood flow and neurological function is restored to the brain stem, thus providing relief to migraine sufferers.
