Dwyane Wade and Migraines
One of NBA Basketball's most exciting players Dwyane Wade has been an integral part of the Miami Heat's success this season. It has been reported in the media throughout Wade's career that he struggles with recurring migraines.
Wade says about his migraine headaches "Most of the time it lasts for four days," I do everything with the doctors, but there are certain things you can't control."
Or can you?
Is it possible that there is an underlying cause associated with your migraines Dwyane?
If you got to the underlying cause would it be possible to prevent these migraines?
Would it be possible to eliminate them completely?
Dwyane Wade is a very physical player. He frequently dives on the floor and has had several head and neck traumas over the years. Here is one example of Wade whacking his head on the ground in the playoffs a few years ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3ksc5_bpYw
What Happens When You Get Head and Neck Traumas?
Well these accidents and injuries can tear loose the connective tissue that holds the spine in place and create a weakness, which then allows the spine to breakdown and lock into a stressed position.
Now I am sure that the Miami Heat have a staff Chiropractor, as almost all professional sports teams do. But to get to this problem he may need a more advanced approach than general chiropractic. He may require NUCCA.
If Mr. Wade has a misalignment in the upper neck at the base of the brain, blood flow has been shown to be affected. Research is demonstrating that these misalignments in the upper neck at the level of the Atlas can be an underlying factor in several vascular conditions such as Migraine Headaches, High Blood Pressure, Multiple Sclerosis and others. The veins that drain the brain are not working the way that they are supposed to be.
The main way that this takes place is the physical trauma associated with head and neck injuries.
The only way to safely, precisely and gently realign the spine is by acquiring precise upper cervical x-rays. Once the upper neck is viewed from all three directions then a plan can be put together to correct this complex condition. The NUCCA procedure is very effective at restoring the upper neck to it's proper alignment and relieving the pressure from the blood vessels.
