What Causes Migraines?
A migraine is a headache that causes unsettling symptoms like nausea, extreme light and sound sensitivity, visual disturbances, and lots of pain.
They can be triggered by:
- Tension and stress
- Injuries and accidents
- Spine-related issues
- Poor posture
- Prolonged screen usage (i.e., phones, tablets, laptops)
- Problems that originate in your muscles, tissues, and nerves.
If treatment has never worked, then the source of your pain might stem from issues that may have beed overlooked, and medications can’t permanently resolve.
How do we diagnose Migraines?
The first step is always a thorough history, we need to know what you've been through to get you where you want. Although there may be a hormonal component, Migraines can actually originate in your neck, upper back, or even your shoulders. So the next thing we want to do is locate the source of your migraines.
We do this by conducting a hands-on examination. After we identify the movements that are causing your pain, we’ll examine the muscles and ligaments in the affected area.
If necessary, we’ll use Digital X-Ray to take pictures of your neck. These images can be used to confirm a diagnosis or rule out causes before finalizing a treatment plan.
