Las Vegas Doctor Alleviates Migraine Headaches With Chiropractic

By Ivy Catubig


Migraine headaches affect millions of people all over the world. Completing even simple tasks during an attack can be a major struggle that decreases overall quality of life. Individuals seeking relief without the need to rely on potentially addicting medications can find alternative solutions by visiting a reputable Henderson NV chiropractor.

Even though some researchers believe suffering from migraines may be hereditary, the exact cause remains unknown. What they do know is that a migraine involves a fluctuation in blood flow that affects the brain. First, the blood vessels in the head constrict. The brain senses the lack of blood and signals the vessels to dilate.

While blood flow is constricted, an individual may become dizzy or feel irritable. In some cases, the person suffering an attack may not be able to speak properly or may see spots or flashes of light. When the vessels dilate, the excess blood rushing to the brain causes a pulsating pain that typically originates in the temple. The average migraine attack can last between four hours and three days.

The vertebrae fit together in a way that protects the spinal cord and allows nerve impulses to pass along it to other parts of the body. Injuries to the back can cause a misalignment of the vertebrae. When the bones become misaligned, the impulses are interrupted, a condition known as subluxation.

Chiropractors focus on detecting subluxation and using non-surgical techniques to eliminate it. Eliminating the subluxation improves nerve impulse conductivity along the spine and reduces pain. Chiropractors use their hands to gently manipulate movable portions in the spine and guide vertebrae into the correct positions.

The restoration of normal nerve flow has multiple positive effects on the body. It boosts the immune system and when combined with regular exercise, improves flexibility, enhances athletic performance, and improves joint function. Individuals seeking drug-free relief from migraine pain can seek out the services of a licensed chiropractor in Henderson.
