If there is one thing that every person who suffers from migraine headaches wants, it's immediate relief, That's easier said than done, but it is possible for those who seek the right type of care that will address the underlying cause rather than cover the symptoms.

Now, we're not going to try to sell the latest headache medication to you, even though we're sure that's what many of our readers were hoping for. Medicine will only cover the symptoms by adding chemicals to your body that pharmacists hope will create a chemical balance in your body.

Though, upper cervical chiropractic frequently addresses the underlying cause of migraine headaches by focusing on the alignment of the upper neck vertebrae. Those are the top two vertebrae in the upper neck, which are also called the upper cervical spine.

The Cause of Migraines

Now, many people who experience migraine headaches have also experienced some sort of head or neck trauma that triggered that neurological disorder. That past accident could have likely caused a misalignment in the top two vertebrae in a person's spine, also called the upper cervical spine. That misalignment can pinch the nerves, place pressure on the brainstem, and cause all sorts of problems throughout the body.

Though, just because a migraine sufferer often won't begin to experience symptoms of this neurological pain until after a head or neck trauma, that doesn't mean that trauma will always happen later in life. It can be the result of a difficult birth, in which the baby was delivered via forceps, C-section, or just the neck being twisted to excavate the baby from the birthing canal.

The Upper Cervical Solution

Though, the good news is that while medication may only cover the symptoms, upper cervical chiropractic will address the underlying cause of this neurological disorder. An upper cervical chiropractor will examine your upper neck vertebrae to see if there are any misalignments in those top two vertebrae in your upper neck that may be leading to that pain in your head.
