Why Do I Keep Getting Migraines/Headaches?

If you suffer from headaches and migraines, it's helpful to know the underlying causes or triggers so that you'll be more likely to relieve or prevent recurring dysfunction. Common causes include:

• Poor posture
• TMJ/jaw problems (including clenching or grinding teeth)
• Stress and ineffective coping strategies
• Environmental factors (such as loud noises and bright flashing lights)
• Excessive exercise, or, conversely, a sedentary lifestyle
• Certain foods (especially highly processed foods)
• Prolonged sitting and/or too much time spent in one position

How Can A Chiropractor Help Me With My Migraine or Headache Pain?

It's not surprising that pain and other symptoms associated with migraines or headaches can be debilitating and severely disruptive to your daily life. But many people who suffer from migraine or headache pain don't realize just how helpful a chiropractor can be.

Migraines and tension headaches are often caused or exacerbated by dysfunction within the spine. Vertebral joint subluxation--also known as joint misalignment--often lead to headaches or migraines in addition to other symptoms including back pain and back stiffness. Chiropractic adjustments--also known as spinal manipulations--are a safe way to realign your spine and thereby relieve pressure on the muscles, nerves, and other tissues within your upper back and shoulders that may be contributing to your headaches. Chiropractic adjustments also restore the nervous system's ability to effectively communicate with the rest of your body, which can enhance

In addition to providing chiropractic adjustments, our St George chiropractor can also help you prevent or reduce the severity of your headaches/migraines by providing:

• Soft tissue massage
• Nutritional guidance, including recommendations for dietary changes and hydration goals
• Lifestyle guidance, including ways to modify your work space, get more active, and manage stress more effectively
