How Chiropractic Care Helps Migraines
Chiropractic care focuses on the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, emphasizing spinal health as a foundation for overall well-being. For migraine sufferers, chiropractic care can be transformative.
Techniques such as spinal manipulation, massage, and mobilization help:
- Reduce stress on the nervous system
- Improve spinal mobility and function
- Decrease inflammation and tension
By restoring proper nerve function and relieving tension in the neck, shoulders, and back, chiropractic care can reduce migraine frequency as well as the severity of episodes.
“As someone who personally struggled with migraines for years, I understand how debilitating they can be. Through chiropractic care, I found relief, and now it’s my mission to help others experience that same freedom from chronic head pain.” Dr. Mark Legnola
Understanding Your Migraine Triggers
Preventing migraines begins with identifying your personal triggers. Common triggers include:
- Stress
- Hormonal changes
- Certain foods or additives
- Irregular sleep patterns
- Weather changes
- Sensory overload
Keeping a migraine diary can help pinpoint patterns and guide your chiropractor in creating a customized care plan.
Types of Migraines
Migraine Without Aura
Affects 70-90% of sufferers and typically includes moderate to severe pulsating pain lasting 4-72 hours. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound.
Migraine With Aura
Affects 10-30% of sufferers and includes visual disturbances such as flashing lights, shapes, or temporary vision loss. Additional symptoms may include tingling sensations or difficulty speaking.
Common Migraine Symptoms
Migraine symptoms vary widely but commonly include:
- Throbbing or pulsating head pain
- Nausea or vomiting
- Sensitivity to light and sound
- Visual disturbances or aura
- Fatigue or weakness
- Difficulty concentrating
- Neck stiffness
- Dizziness
Some individuals also notice mood changes, increased thirst or hunger, or frequent yawning before a migraine episode begins.
Managing Your Migraines
Lifestyle changes can significantly improve migraine outcomes. Helpful strategies include:
- Drinking at least 8 glasses of water daily
- Maintaining consistent sleep patterns
- Stress reduction through breathing, meditation, or yoga
- Avoiding known dietary triggers such as aged cheeses, alcohol, chocolate, and excess caffeine
- Regular exercise such as walking, cycling, or swimming
Some patients benefit from supplements like Magnesium, Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), or CoQ10. Always consult a healthcare provider before beginning new supplements
Migraine Relief After 10 Years – ML’s Success Story
For more than a decade, ML lived with debilitating migraines. The headaches were frequent, intense, and disruptive—making it difficult to work, stay active, and enjoy daily life. Despite years of medications and traditional treatments, the relief never lasted. The migraines always returned.
When ML came to our office, the goal was simple: finally understand why the migraines kept happening and create a plan to address the root cause. Through a thorough evaluation and a detailed review of spinal and neurological function, we identified several structural issues that were contributing to the chronic headaches.
Together, we began a personalized course of chiropractic care focused on correcting these underlying problems—not just masking symptoms.
Within weeks, ML noticed a meaningful reduction in both the intensity and frequency of the migraines. And after completing the recommended treatment plan, something incredible happened:
The migraines stopped. Completely.
Today, ML is living headache-free for the first time in over ten years—able to sleep better, focus at work, and enjoy life without fear of the next attack.
After 10 years of migraines and trying everything from medications to specialists, chiropractic care finally gave me my life back. I haven’t had a single migraine since completing my treatment plan.ML
If you’re struggling with migraines and feel like you’ve tried everything, ML’s story is a reminder: there is hope when the root cause is identified and properly addressed.
