Geneva Migraine Headache Sufferers Find Relief Through Chiropractic

By Frank Carbart


In many families, migraine headaches are passed from one generation to the next. As a result, members frequently experience the severe pain, visual aura and nausea. Sometimes their pain is severe enough to prevent driving, working or caring for other obligations. With Geneva chiropractic care, individuals find relief for their pain.

Many people seek relief from their pain with over the counter medication. However, such pills are mild forms of pain killers. They can dull the individual's perception of his pain. With these medications, people often need more pills for control of their pain. As they use the medication more and more often (more than three times weekly) there is the potential for rebound headaches. The very medication one takes may result in more pain, in a cycle that repeats itself regularly.

Migraines affect three times the number of women as men. While there are migraine-specific medications available from medical doctors to stop the pain, some patients are unable to tolerate the side effects of these pills. Chiropractors offer relief without the side effects caused by such medications.

Headache sufferers benefit from changes in lifestyle as well as chiropractic adjustments. Since migraines are thought to be related to vascular changes that occur in one's brain, stopping smoking and using caffeine may help. Learning foods that trigger another episode and avoiding them can be beneficial as well.

Such headaches may also affect children. Parents of these children often want to avoid the use of medications as they are not approved for use by individuals under age 18. However, children who suffer migraines can benefit with the noninvasive therapy provided by a chiropractor.

Chiropractors provide therapy to help reduce intensity and frequency of patient's headaches. For many who use this type of care, the pain control is as good or better than found with use of medication and there are fewer undesirable side effects. Regular therapy from your chiropractor ensures you spine is balanced. Lifestyle changes help to reduce the triggers resulting in pain.
