Headaches are not fun, and migraines are awful. Living with either of these issues can make you feel grumpy and, in the worst-case scenario, leave you unable to function. Medication may help in the short term, but pills are generally not enough when the problem is ongoing or re-occurring. The source of your headaches and migraines is usually structural, and proper treatment can help you overcome this debilitating issue. Headache relief at our Lewistown Chiropractic Clinic may be the solution you need.

HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES IN LEWISTOWN MT

Whether you are dealing with a persistent ache in your head or the worst symptoms associated with migraines, including light and noise intolerance, nausea, vomiting, hallucinations, depression, and irritation, the cause may be a structural issue. When the spine moves out of position because of developmental issues, trauma, repetitive stress, and other incidents, it can pressure the surrounding nerves. When the nerves are compressed or irritated, they send a message to the muscles of the back, neck, and jaw to tighten.

This tightness can lead directly to an acute headache or migraine. Over time the tightness can also pull your bones out of alignment leading to more persistent headaches and migraines. A headache or migraine can be a sign that there are deeper problems arising in your spinal column. Because spinal health impacts every other system in your body, it is vital to deal with these issues when signs occur.

CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT FOR HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES

Chiropractic care has a long history of successfully treating headaches and migraines. Chiropractors in Lewistown have an extensive understanding of the spine's subtle issues, which is very often the source of pain due to its connection with the nervous system. A chiropractic treatment starts with a thorough evaluation that will rule out other possible causes of your headache and examine your spine for misalignment issues.

The assessment will determine the exact type of treatment necessary for the specific issue at the root of the pain. Using gentle, non-invasive techniques, a chiropractor can achieve adjustments to the spine that, although subtle, can provide almost instant relief and restore your long-term health. Unlike medications that treat the problem on the surface level and provide only short-term relief, a chiropractic adjustment will address the cause of your headache or migraine and provide lasting results that will improve your quality of life.
