Natural Migraine Treatment FAQ
Natural Migraine Treatment FAQ
(4) Chiropractic treatment Sometimes the bones in the neck are in the wrong place, and the little muscles near the bones are tense. This is called "subluxation". It's like having a crick in your neck. The nerves that lead out from the spine can be irritated when there is a subluxation, and this can cause migraines. The bones are very close to being in the right place, so a medical doctor might say they are in the right place. A chiropractor treats people by gently pushing the bones back into place. Stress on any part of the spine, as from lifting heavy objects or sitting in a twisted position, can cause subluxations in the neck, leading to migraine. Some relief from migraine can be obtained by doing slow, gentle stretching exercises of the neck. (Rolling motions or sudden motions are not recommended.) Avoid sitting for a long time with the head leaning forward, straining the neck. Avoid lying on your back with your head raised on a pillow. Lying on your back is OK with no pillow, or with a pillow that supports the neck but doesn't raise the head much. When lying on your side, a pillow should support the head and neck. When sitting, for example at the computer, change position frequently and check for things like tension in the shoulders from supporting the arms.
