Anyone who has suffered from chronic migraine headaches knows how they can completely shut down your life. Oh no, here comes the aura, once it starts the person knows that 12-36 hours of bed laden pain with following. This article will illuminate our patient Dominique's chronic battle with 10-12 migraines a month for twenty years and her recovery. One migraine a month is horrific, but having to deal with ten migraines month makes you wonder how anyone could get through life, let alone support oneself. Embedded in this article is a gripping story of how Dominique struggled with chronic migraine, followed by her triumphant healing by undergoing precision corrective Blair Upper Cervical care.
I Have Tried Everything and Nothing Has Worked
Like most patients who end up in our office, they are looking for a last-ditch effort for help. Typically they have exhausted numerous pathways in the health care system trying to find a solution. As Dominique describes in her testimonies video, for years she tried acupuncture, several chiropractors, and never found a solution that could keep her away from taking medication 10-12 days a month. Like most patients, they do NOT want to be taking toxic substances, but there is no alternative where they have found relief, and as a consequence the only option is medication. Thankfully, in Dominique's, case after getting under upper cervical care two years ago, she lives free of migraines today! Once in a great while, 1-2 times a year, she will still suffer. But that is a 98 percent reduction in migraine occurrence! As she stated, she travels for work a lot. Travel on airplanes is stressful and seems to be one of the activities that cause the atlas to misalign again in her case.
How Are Migraines Related to Upper Neck Injury?
The upper cervical spine is a unique and critical anatomical junction of the spine that houses the brainstem and cranial nerve nuclei. The brainstem controls almost all autonomic (automatic) functions in the body. One center located in the brainstem stem, known as the vasomotor nuclei, is one mechanism that is possibly involved in migraine, brain blood flow. There are numerous scientific publications that show that arterial blood flow abnormalities are one possible mechanism involved in migraine headache manifestation. (1) because the vestibular nucleus sits inside of the brainstem, it's proximity to the head-neck junction makes it susceptible to aberrant function due to spinal misalignment.
The second theory relating migraine to the upper cervical spine changes in CSF fluid flow. There is a complex system of fluid inside of the brain and spinal cord that is delicately controlled by numerous factors. There is evidence that upper cervical spine injury can cause abnormal changes in CSF fluid dynamics that may be in part an underlying mechs ism of migraine headache.(2)
What Exactly Does a Blair Upper Cervical Doctor Do?
Blair Upper Cervical doctors are specially trained to locate spinal misalignments in the upper cervical spine and correct them. Spinal misalignment is located by running a battery of neurological tests that locate the spinal segments that have been injured and misaligned by a prior neck injury.
Once located, precision imaging in the form of digital x-ray or cone-beam computed tomography (Cbct) is used to precisely determine which joint has misaligned and the angulation of the misaligned joint.
Each person’s anatomy is different and therefore imaging is used to uncover the blueprint to be used to correct each patient’s individual misalignment pattern. Once this information is gleaned, a gentle, light correction is made without twisting, popping, or pulling.
The patient is then monitored overtime to ensure that the correction is holding. If the testing indicates the need for another correction, then it is performed.
However, the goal of Blair Upper Cervical Care is for the patient to stay in “adjustment”.It isn’t the correction that produces healing. It is the removal of nerve irritation and the adjustment “holding” in its normal position that allows the body to function better and proceed through a healing process. This is how Blair Chiropractic care for headaches can aid your body in healing itself.
If you are suffering from any type of migraine headache or any other chronic health problem give upper cervical care a chance. You will be glad you did. In conclusion, we will steal a quote from the enveloped of chiropractic, " nature needs no help just no interference."
