Migraines and Natural Solutions

Migraines and Natural Solutions are a common question that we are asked in our office daily. Almost everyone suffers from migraines or headaches at some point in their lifetime, but for some people it becomes the pain becomes so debilitating it is hard to do even daily activities.

The Numbers–

  • 13% of Americans suffer from migraines
  • 5% suffer from headaches

Often people don’t realize the cause of their headaches or migraines could actually be coming from their diet. If people are sensitive to certain foods and they consume them on a regular basis the outcome could be that migraine or headache.

The Causes–

  • Gluten (proteins in wheat)
  • Dairy (Casein)
  • Soy
  • Eggs
  • Corn
  • High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)
  • MSG (Monosodium glutamate
  • Artificial Sweeteners
  • Caffeine

The spine can also cause pain an onset of a headache or a migraine. When a bone is subluxated in your neck, the nerves that exit at that level of the spine can sometimes cause a headache or migraine. This can also be associated with a tight, sore, or stiff neck, but does not always have to be.

The solution is to go to a licensed Chiropractor and to correct the cause of the problem (the subluxated bone).  This will help with the increased tension and pressure in the neck and help to relive the headache and migraine.

Other common solutions to a headache or migraine can be:

  • Magnesium
  • CoQ10
  • Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)
  • Gluten Free Diet
  • Melatonin
