What Triggers A Migraine
Is Not The Cause
Migraines can be triggered
Migraines can be triggered by factors such as stress, bright lights, fatigue, hunger, hormonal changes, caffeine, or even neck movements. However, these triggers are not the true cause of migraine headaches. In fact, research by Dr. Seymour Diamond, Executive Director of the National Headache Foundation, reveals that new imaging techniques point to a deeper issue — a malfunctioning brain stem. When the brain stem near the top of the neck doesn’t function properly, it can cause swelling of the surrounding blood vessels, setting off the chain reaction that leads to migraine pain.
How Upper Cervical Alignment Frees the Brainstem and Eases Migraines
A misalignment in the Upper Cervical spine (neck) can affect the function of the brain stem. This, in turn, can cause migraine headaches. Taking a detailed look and making a specific adjustment is how Team CLEAR’s specialty in upper cervical (head & neck) care provides our clients the ability to eliminate the misalignment and provide relief from the migraine symptoms.
