Migraines can cause intense, throbbing headaches often accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and sometimes visual disturbances. They can interfere with work, daily activities, and overall quality of life. At Platinum Chiropractic + Wellness, we take a comprehensive approach—combining chiropractic care, acupuncture, and dry needling to address the root causes, relieve tension, and reduce the frequency and severity of migraines.
What are migraines caused by?
Migraines can be triggered by a variety of factors, including stress, hormonal changes, poor posture, muscle tension in the neck and shoulders, spinal misalignments, and nerve irritation. Other common triggers include dehydration, lack of sleep, and certain foods.
How Can We Help?
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic adjustments restore proper alignment in the spine and neck, reducing nerve irritation and improving blood flow to the head and surrounding areas. This can help decrease muscle tension, reduce the frequency of migraines, and promote better nervous system function.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture helps regulate the nervous system, increase circulation, and release endorphins—your body’s natural pain relievers. By targeting points associated with headache relief, acupuncture can help reduce migraine pain, ease stress, and lower the likelihood of future episodes.
Dry Needling
Dry needling releases tension in trigger points within the neck, shoulders, and upper back that often contribute to migraine pain. By relaxing these tight muscles and improving blood flow, dry needling can help reduce the intensity and duration of migraines.
