There are many different causes of headaches and migraines, but one of the most common is problems with the spine. When the spine is not in alignment, it can put pressure on the nerves and blood vessels in the head, which can lead to headaches and migraines. Other common causes of headaches and migraines include stress, dehydration, and certain medications.

Chiropractic care at Chiro Partners in Clayton is a drug-free, non-invasive way to treat headaches and migraines. We use a variety of techniques to adjust the spine and relieve pressure on the nerves that can cause headaches and migraines. Chiropractic care is often used to treat tension headaches, but can also be effective for migraines, cluster headaches, and sinus headaches.

Dr. Ferez can also help identify and correct any underlying causes of headaches and migraines, such as constant poor posture, muscle tension, stress or even nutrition.

Acupuncture and Migraines

Acupuncture has been used for over 2,000 years to treat different conditions. One of the most common conditions that acupuncture is used to treat is migraines.

Acupuncture is believed to help migraines by stimulating the release of endorphins, which are the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals. Acupuncture is also thought to help by increasing blood flow and relaxing muscles.

A 2008 study found that acupuncture was more effective than medication in preventing migraines. The study found that people who received acupuncture had fewer migraines than those who took medication.
