Ellenville NY Chiropractic Office Provide Migraine Relief

By Arthur Albao


Migraines result from a neurological condition, affecting more than a billion children, women, and men, around the world, 40 million of those in the United States. Every day, nearly 4 million individuals suffer this chronically, being incapacitated for 15 days, monthly, on average. There are multiple drugs that are frequently prescribed to battle these headaches and the harsh side effects often experienced with them, such as high sensitivity to noise and light, nausea, and vomiting.

Unfortunately, some people do not find the medications to be effective and desire to find a solution that is more natural. The holistic techniques offered by an Ellenville NY chiropractic office may be used in conjunction with each other to provide migraine pain relief.

Many migraine sufferers report that some of their headaches are triggered by spinal and cervical pain. A chiropractor will use spinal manipulation to address the neurological component of migraine headaches. Patients may experience relief by visiting an Ellenville NY chiropractic office, where chiropractic manipulation has been shown to cause improvement in the duration, frequency, and medication use for migraine headaches.

Craniosacral therapy, which is an extremely gentle manipulative approach, can restore flow and balance of cerebrospinal fluid circulating around the brain and spinal cord. This, in turn, has been shown to naturally relieve pain of migraine sufferers, and many receivers of this approach find long-lasting relief.

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese technique that shows great effectiveness in natural pain alleviation through the balancing of a body's chi, or life force. The doctor inserts ultra thin needles into the flesh at very specific points, along energy paths known as meridians. This unblocks the flow and releases the obstructions, naturally restoring total body wellness.

Needles will not be placed in a person's head when they undergo acupuncture for relief from migraines. They actually get inserted at points along meridians in the arms and legs. The procedure is painless and very gentle, with patients saying they felt nothing, many becoming so relaxed that they sleep through the application. Multiple appointments will be required to achieve long term effects, the exact amount will vary depending on the frequency and severity of the headaches.
