Staggering Migraine Statistics, and How to Return to Feeling Great

If you are one of more than 37 million Americans who suffer from migraines, you can understand how quickly your day can go from normal to terrible. Some studies estimate that 13% of adults in the U.S. experience, with 2 to 3 million chronic sufferers.

Some Migraine Statistics can be Staggering:

91% must miss work or aren’t able to function normally during an attack
59% have missed social or family functions
70% have reported that their migraines have caused problems in their relationships
49% have had to restrict their activities for at least one day during an attack

Looking at those numbers, it’s easy to see that more than just a run-of-the-mill headache. Migraines have implications beyond just a couple of hours needed to recover. They affect the personal and professional lives of those who experience them on a much deeper level.

Dr. Terry Crowder works with many patients in his McKinney, TX upper cervical chiropractic clinic, assisting them to regain their quality of life. Dr. Crowder focuses on an area of the spine and nervous system that is thought to be related to the cause, in particular, the brainstem. When the two vertebrae that are responsible for protecting the brainstem become misaligned, either through an injury or just daily wear and tear, normal brainstem function can be compromised. One of the results of this can be the type of nervous system dysfunction that leads to chronic sufferers.

When the alignment of the C1 (atlas) and C2 (axis) vertebrae is corrected, the body’s normal, natural healing process is restored. Often, the root cause of migraines lies in a misalignment in this area that Dr. Crowder is able to correct using gentle and specific chiropractic adjustments. Rather than living with migraines and treating the symptoms as they come up, why not get to the bottom of them so life can return to normal?
