Migraines are a common condition, but you may notice that people experience different migraine symptoms. While most are primarily characterized by severe head pain, some do not even have headache on the list of symptoms. This is because migraines are not a type of headache but are actually a neurological condition.

The common migraine will present with a severe headache, vision or hearing symptoms, and sometimes even nausea and vomiting. What are the symptoms of some other forms of migraines?

Symptoms of Less Common Migraine Types

Retinal or Ocular Migraine – This type of migraine involves visual disturbances. These may include blind spots, flashing lights, and temporary blindness. In very rare situations, ocular migraines can lead to permanent vision loss.

Vestibular Migraine – The vestibular system controls balance. A vestibular migraine causes vertigo, disorientation, and balance problems. Tinnitus may also occur.

Ophthalmoplegic Migraine – This type of migraine starts as a pain situated behind the eye. It often results in double vision. The eye can become paralyzed, and the eyelid will droop. Some sufferers experience seizures or vomiting.

Hemiplegic Migraine – This migraine affects one whole side of the body. It includes vision and speech problems and make seem like a stroke.

One Treatment for Many Types of Migraines

No matter what type of migraines you suffer from, they can be debilitating. The fact is that while there are many types of migraines, the cause can be the same. A misalignment of the upper cervical spine can result in a breakdown in communication between the body and brain. Migraines are just one symptom of such an underlying issue.

A sports injury, fall, or car accident can be responsible for a misalignment of the C1 or C2 vertebrae. At Body Balance Spinal Care, we use the NUCCA technique to diagnose and treat such misalignments, even if your injury occurred years ago.

Once your alignment is restored, your body can begin healing, and you can experience gradual or even fast relief from symptoms of the misalignments such as migraines.
