One may wonder what constitutes chronic migraines. A person must:
It is understandable then that people suffering from chronic migraines miss out on a number of events in their life. Things such as school, work, and time spent with family and friends are all affected. Over 4 million people are diagnosed with chronic migraines, and most of these are women. This is a huge number of people that are unable to enjoy life on a daily basis as most others do. Is there anything that can help?
Primary care doctors or neurologists will probably recommend that the person keeps a headache journal. It is important to record everything that happens before and during a migraine attack. This will help to develop a pattern that may reveal particular triggers that are causing headaches. Weather conditions, temperature, food and beverages consumed, and stress levels should all be noted.
Medication may also be suggested to help ease the pain of migraines. However, these often come with unwanted side effects and can lead to more headaches in the future if taken too frequently. Many wonder if there is a natural alternative for coping with migraine pain that really works.
A link between a misalignment in the upper neck and migraine headaches has clearly been established. Therefore, addressing this problem and correcting it can be one way of alleviating headaches. The C1 and C2 vertebrae are responsible for protecting the brainstem and preserving communication to and from the brain and body. If a misalignment happens in either of these bones, the opposite is true. Communication, blow flow, and cerebrospinal fluid flow become irregular. This is the perfect environment for migraines to occur. Once the misalignment is corrected through gentle means, the body can begin to heal and function at its optimum once again. Often this is all that a person needs to combat migraine pain.
