Getting a migraine is a very common occurrence. In fact, many people – about 4 million US residents – have what is called a chronic migraine. This means that they have a migraine for more than 15 days during a 30-day period. A migraine is more than a bad headache. It is a neurological condition that has head pain as one symptom. Other symptoms include:
- Mood swings
- Fatigue
- Visual disturbances
- Nausea and vomiting
- Sensitivity to light and sound

A New Product in Migraine Care
When seeking help from a family physician, patients often receive a prescription to care for migraine symptoms. This may help temporarily, but the root of the problem must be addressed in order to see long-lasting results.
A new medication has been developed to attack a specific protein released when a migraine happens. Testing has revealed it helps in 63% of the cases by targeting the trigeminal nerve tract. This is a good percentage rate compared to other medications on the market. But, what if there was something that could help you to combat a migraine before it occurred or keep it from happening at all? The good news is that there is just such a method!

Finding Migraine Relief
Here at Upper Cervical Chiropractic San Diego, we understand the connection between a migraine and a misalignment in the bones of the upper neck. If the atlas bone, the top bone of the spine, is misaligned, blood flow and cerebrospinal fluid flow may be hindered from reaching and exiting the brain properly. A migraine can be the end result.
We use a gentle method to encourage the bones to move back into their original position. This happens without popping or cracking the spine, leading to a longer-lasting, natural adjustment. It has been seen in our own patients and those in case studies that migraines often decrease in intensity or go away completely in some cases.
