“The Back Man” and “The Bone Setter” I have heard them all. When it comes to descriptions of my office, it is always interesting that they relate only to the musculoskeletal conditions that they think I am able to treat and little else.
The truth is that the expert care we provide in our office can help patients experiencing a wide range of conditions, including migraine headaches. Using all-natural, non-invasive, medication-free techniques, we as chiropractors or chiropractic physicians can help lessen the occurrence of migraine headaches, and may even help some patients avoid migraines entirely.
Defining Migraine Headaches
Around 25 million people a year in the U.S. experience migraine headaches, 75% of whom are women. Migraines also tend to run in families, with sufferers usually having their first attack before they reach 30 years old. Apart from this, the experience varies, with some people having several attacks every month, others perhaps once a year.
Migraines are very intense headaches that can be accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light or noise, vomiting, and disrupted vision. Their duration may be a few hours to several days, and there is sometimes a precursory visual symptom known as an “aura” that alerts the sufferer of the coming attack. This aura may be experienced as flashing lights or a dream-like appearance to the world.
Often migraines are set off by exterior forces, known as triggers.
Below are several common triggers that have been identified:
- Neck pain
- Congestion
- Stress
- Changes in sleep patterns
- Changes in weather
- Hormones
- Dehydration
- Consumption of alcohol
- Allergic reactions
- Muscle tension
- Medication
- Bright lights
Ready For A New Solution?
Chiropractic care has been proven to help alleviate the symptoms of tension and migraine headaches by improving and restoring normal postural patterns.
Chiropractic treatment is aimed at normalizing muscle tension, restoring joint range of motion, and stabilizing the body to reduce abnormal stressors. Optimizing postural control of the head and neck reduces the workload your muscles must apply just to keep your head up during the day. The proper spinal alignment and muscle control helps give the body a fighting chance of avoiding a headache brought on by tension.
We begin by working with our patients to help discover their migraine triggers. Knowing the cause of the pain can help patients control their condition and avoid triggers. By giving gentle but fruitful lifestyle advice, we as chiropractors help patients change the conditions that cause their pain. Changing sleep patterns, reducing of consumption of alcohol, eliminating a smoking habit or changing the lighting conditions at work or home can all help patients manage migraines and lessen the occurrence of these problems.
Additionally, chiropractic care restores function to the entire spine, ribs, and hips to maximize breathing, loosen tight muscles, release pressure and good postural control for optimal function. By improving overall function of the central nervous system, many chiropractors can help patients stay healthier and avoid some of the common migraine triggers.

The word on the streets is that the most abused drugs these days are found not being creatively cooked or grown, but bought over the counter at pharmacies near you.

Playoff Season is Here! If you are a sports fan, you know that the excitement of any sport’s season can have our bodies filled with adrenaline and eager to relive the good ole days.
If we have remained active and are in a conditioned state, the activities we attempt will be less taxing on our bodies, but even then our susceptibility to injury is real. So before you reenact your greatest sport’s achievement, learn more about the most common injuries and how you can avoid or recover from them.
The Most Common Injuries
The most common sports injuries occur to the ankles, knees, shoulders, elbows, and spine.
Broken bones can happen when playing sports or exercising, but the more common injuries are those that occur in the muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Strains, Sprains, and Inflammation
When you twist or overextend a joint, a strain can occur, which is a tear in the muscle or tendon, or a sprain can occur, which is a tear of the ligament. The damage these inflict varies in severity from a few torn or stretched fibers to a complete tear right through the structure. The latter will often require surgery to repair.
Joint Inflammation: Over-training is a common cause of a condition called tendonitis, which is one of the so-called “overuse syndromes.” Tendonitis occurs when the joint is overworked, and the connecting tendons become inflamed, causing pain and dysfunction. Stress or fatigue fractures may also occur as a result of repetitive strain and activity.
Heal Like A Pro
For minor injuries, follow these simple tips to help you recover faster:
Relax and Elevate: 48 hours rest and/or immobilization are usually enough unless the injury is more severe. Raise the injured limb above the level of the heart to help reduce the swelling. Your doctor of chiropractic can advise on the optimum times for rest and recuperation.
Moderate: Too much rest can work against recovery in many cases, and can even be harmful. The sooner normal function is restored, the better. Be careful not to hurry or become over-zealous in the recovery process as a rush to playing or training full out will cause further damage.
Ice: Ice can help to reduce the inflammation and speed healing.
Compression: Swelling may be controlled somewhat through compression of the injured area, as advised by your chiropractic physician.
Pain Relief: According to recent research, the use of certain non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be limited as they may, in fact, retard the body’s natural healing process, causing a longer recuperation than necessary.
Joint manipulation: Recent research has also shown that joint manipulation, as practiced by a chiropractor, can help with certain types of injury, lowering pain levels and expedite recovery.
Be Proactive: Many sports injuries are preventable through the use of proper physical conditioning, including warm-up and cool-down routines, and correct techniques when practicing the activity. Invest in quality safety equipment that is available for your particular sport or exercise to also help lower the chances of injury.
Hydrate: Keeping hydrated with a healthy intake of water also guards against injuries by feeding the tissues what they most require to function optimally – water.
