Practically every adult has experienced some type of headaches during their course of their life. It is very common affliction that is known to present in a variety of manifestations and at a full range of intensity possibilities. A Midlothian chiropractor may be able to assist chronic sufferers in finding relief.

Though headaches may be the result of many things, including drug reactions, TMJ, high blood pressure, fatigue and stress, they may also be caused by a neuromuscular disorder. The root of the pain stems from situations such as the inflammation of soft tissue in the neck and head, nerves being pinched by the spinal vertebrae, or knotted muscles. Chiropractic techniques are designed for just this type of issue.

Migraines are a type of headache that deserve a class all their own. Though the exact causes are hard to pinpoint, it is known that they are due to a complex series of interactions between the nervous, hormonal and vascular systems. Women make up nearly 75% of the more than 25 million people who suffer from this horrible malady.

They are identified by an intense throbbing in the head, often preceded by the sufferer seeing flashing lights and a blurring of one's vision. Many people experience nausea and an extreme sensitivity to motion, light and noise, making it necessary for them to lay very still in a quiet, dark room. The pain can dissipate as soon as a few hours, or it may last for several days.

Chiropractic care is primarily designed to tend issues of a neuromuscular nature. Their methods are usually most effective as the throbbing associated with migraines is generally due to vessels being constantly constricted and dilated, pushing fast bursts of blood into the brain. The techniques have the ability to either lessen the intensity or relieve it all together.

No two people experience migraines in exactly the same way. The doctor can use diagnostic testing to understand the unique nature of a person's suffering and determine the best way to approach it. The range of techniques are all non-invasive, drug free and natural.
