Migraines:

This particular condition is what is responsible for identifying why chiropractic was my life’s calling. I am passionate about treating people who suffer with migraines because I want to provide relief to those who endure this kind of pain the same way chiropractic gave me relief and let me take back my life.

Every patient is unique and not all migraines are the same, but I will utilize all my knowledge and resources to determine what might be contributing to the cause of the condition is and what treatments are available. If you or someone you care about suffers from migraine headaches the following symptoms will sound all too familiar.

Migraine Symptoms:

THROBBING, PULSATING PAIN

PAIN CAN BE SEVERE OR DULL

SENSITIVITY TO LIGHT AND OR SOUND

VERTIGO

NAUSEA

FATIGUE

DIZZINESS

LOSS OF APPETITE

VOMITING

NECK PAIN

PAIN THAT INTEREFERS WITH NORMAL ACTIVITIES

PAIN SOMETIMES MAY BE WORSE ON THE SIDES OF THE FOREHEAD OR ONLY ONE SIDE OF THE HEAD

PAIN THAT GETS WORSE WITH ACTIVITY

COMMONLY LASTS 6 TO 48 HOURS

YOU ARE NOT ALONE:

More than 23 MILLION people suffer from migraine headaches?

Over half of those people miss more than two days of work per MONTH.

DID YOU KNOW?

The CAUSE of migraine headaches are no longer considered vascular-based phenomena (meaning blood vessel constriction and dilatation). While the exact cause of migraines is still unknown the following is the most up to date theory that describes the cause as:

A spreading wave of neuronal activity (interference) in the central nervous system.

Misalignments of the spine interrupt its normal functions. It can cause abnormal motion of the vertebral joints, PAIN, degeneration of the spine, muscle tenderness and INTERFERENCE of the nervous system.

Helping the body heal itself by gently correcting misalignments that result in painful symptoms is exactly what chiropractic does.

At Wellness Within Chiropractic Center, our goal is to help our patients identify the CAUSE of the condition/dysfunction, RELIEVE pain and discomfort and RESTORE normal function. We want to teach our patients stretches and exercises to stabilize their spine and help them recognize the factors that can trigger pain and dysfunction, so they can resume a normal lifestyle.

Why put up with the pain? Make an appointment today and get on the road to living a healthier lifestyle and discover your Wellness Within.
