Geneva Migraine Headache Sufferers Find Relief Through Chiropractic

By Frank Carbart


Migraine headaches are a hereditary condition often passed through families for generations. They result in severe pain, visual effects and nausea. Sometimes the pain is so severe individuals are unable to drive, work or take care of other obligations. Geneva chiropractic care provides help for individuals suffering migraines.

Many sufferers look to over the counter medication as a way to find relief. However these pain killing medications may dull the perception of the pain initially, users develop a tolerance and may need the medication more often for control. Once they begin using such pills more than three times per week, they may suffer rebound headaches from their medication. This cycle is one that repeats itself regularly with increasing pain.

Migraines affect more women than men. Many sufferers turn to medication from doctors for better control of their pain. Unfortunately, these stronger medications also include side effects many sufferers do not tolerate well. Chiropractors use noninvasive therapy to provide relief without medication with a more tolerable solution.

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.
