What Causes Migraine Headaches?
Although science does not have a complete understanding of migraine headaches, doctors have found many ways to help reduce their frequency and intensity. By addressing the cause of migraine headaches our chiropractor can help you find relief. Our Doctor of Chiropractic will diagnose your triggers and provide treatment to reduce and eliminate your migraine headaches. Some common causes include:
Trigeminal nerve irritation
This nerve wraps around the head and face controlling both feeling and function. A misalignment in the upper spine, commonly caused by injury or poor posture, can pinch the trigeminal nerve, causing migraine headaches. Patients who experience whiplash neck injuries frequently report an increase in migraine headaches.
Chemical imbalances
Poor nutrition, sleep patters and hormone imbalances can also interrupt how the nervous system functions in ways that result in migraine headaches.
