Relieving migraines can be a real problem. About 37 million Americans suffer from migraines. They are each as unique as the person that has them. What works for one person, often does not work for the next person. The general relief protocol is to focus on relieving the symptoms after a migraine has started. Some medications do claim to prevent attacks before they start. However, any medication comes along with unwanted and potentially dangerous side-effects. Some may even create dependency issues.

The Migraine Patch
The latest research has brought the market a patch that is run on a battery. The purpose of the battery is to move the medicine through the skin so as to get rid of the migraine pain. It can be worn on the upper arm or even the thigh. The medicine dispensed is sumatriptan, a very common generic medication used for migraines. When taken orally, the migraine patient may experience nausea in addition to that caused by a migraine. The patch could eliminate that side effect as it is absorbed through the skin, not the stomach.

Upper Cervical Chiropractors Get to the Root Cause
While there are some relief care available that help ease the pain of migraines, unless the underlying cause is addressed, the migraine will return at another time. At Upper Cervical Chiropractic of San Diego, we work closely with our migraine patients to help discover the root cause of the headache. It is often found to be a misalignment in one of the top two bones of the neck, the C1 and C2 vertebrae.
A misalignment in this area of the neck can disrupt communication to and from the body and brain. Blood flow can also be hindered. By using a special means of analyzing the vertebrae and then adjusting it back to its normal positioning, a person can almost immediately see a difference in migraine symptoms. Some have reported their headaches going away after only one or two adjustments. Most patients see an improvement both in severity and frequency of headaches.
