Over 13 years of chiropractic practice, I've seen a lot of patients who suffer from migraines.  They can be incredibly difficult to get rid of with conventional medical treatments, which basically amount to medications to either prevent them from occurring or reducing them when they appear.  Both of these options are only covering up the symptom of pain, instead of actually getting to the root of the problem.  Unfortunately, these medications have such a long list of side effects it would take me a full page to list them. 

     The good news is that chiropractic and A.R.T. offers a great treatment option for migraines.  Last year I saw a patient who has suffered from debilitating migraines for 25 years, dating all the way back to her school days.  She had missed countless days of work and family functions and was able to get her life back with our treatments.  She recently referred a young high school kid who hasn't been to a full week of school in 2 months due to migraines.  Just like her, he had improper motion in his upper neck and tight muscles adjacent to these vertebrae.  With chiropractic and A.R.T, he attended a whole week of school last week after only 4 visits.  I actually even saw a 7 year old boy with migraines last year, so there isn't a minimum age to migraine sufferers.  If you or anyone you know suffers from migraines, have them get in immediately to receive possible life changing chiropractic and A.R.T. treatments.
