Migraines in McKinney TX

Migraines in McKinney TX

Anyone that lives with chronic headaches knows how difficult it can be to go through day to day living, not knowing when the next episode will occur.  An estimated 46% of adults worldwide have an active migraine or headache disorder.  Since the exact mechanism that causes migraines to occur is still unclear, most health care providers may not be able to properly diagnose migraines and provide an effective treatment plan.

Determining the Cause of Migraines

Despite the fact that the precise cause of migraines has not yet been determined, there are several things that are known to be contributory factors.

 

What Options Are Available to Find Migraine Relief?

There are a variety of treatment options that provide people with varying degrees of relief.  The trouble with relieving migraines with natural herbs, over-the-counter or pharmaceutical medications is that while they may bring the sufferer some relief from their symptoms, the cause of the migraines remains unaltered.

Upper cervical chiropractors like Dr. Crowder, specialize in locating the underlying cause of migraines and other types of headaches.  Using very specific methods of analysis, migraine expert Dr. Crowder is able to determine the exact nature of the misalignment of the C1/C2 vertebrae and make the necessary adjustment.  This adjustment is what allows proper alignment, and thus proper function to be restored.  Once the correction is made, the healing process is allowed to begin.  Research published in the chiropractic literature documents quick and effective results in as little as a few visits to an upper cervical chiropractor.4
