Do migraines often ruin your day-to-day plans? Do you always feel overwhelmed by common migraine symptoms like tunnel vision, pulsating unilateral headaches, sound sensitivity, nausea, and vertigo episodes? Have you been going on several trips to the local pharmacy and asking around for more potent pain medications that can provide you with long-term migraine pain relief?
Being someone plagued by frequent bouts of migraines can be quite disheartening. Last-minute plan cancelations, feelings of disappointment, anger, agony, and depression, and major routine disruptions gradually become a normal part of your life when you live with this disabling neurological disorder.
But thankfully, you might just have a shot at enjoying more migraine-free days with the help of electrical nerve stimulation and chiropractic atlas adjustment. Let’s help you get acquainted with both options.
ENS (electrical nerve stimulation) and upper cervical care are two of the most promising ways to manage recurring migraines. Find out how each option works:ENS is a non-invasive method of treating migraines by sending gentle electrical pulses through specific nerves in your body. There are several different types of ENS devices that deliver energy differently. However, they all have one thing in common: they use electricity to stimulate those nerves so they can send signals back into your brain to alleviate the pain caused by migraines.Meanwhile, chiropractic atlas adjustment works by fixing postural imbalances that may be causing signal interferences in your nervous system. This technique has been around for decades. It has provided massive relief for many migraineurs with a history of neck and head trauma.
Electrical nerve stimulation uses small amounts of electricity to help relieve migraine pain. The electrical currents delivered by ENS can block the transmission of information from the nerves to the brain, which reduces pain signals sent to the brain. The primary nerves that ENS targets include the following:
These nerves can get triggered by different stimuli, including stress, bright lights, and loud noises. They can also malfunction due to postural misalignments that stem from atlas subluxation - an issue primarily resolved by your go-to upper cervical doctor.
If you would like to enjoy massive pain relief from your migraine episodes, you should look into using ENS devices. There are varying options, depending on the key mechanism used. Here’s a brief overview of the different ENS procedures:
Electrical nerve stimulation can be used alone or in conjunction with other migraine remedies, such as oral medication or Botox injections. You may also use it while seeking upper cervical care.
Besides ENS, upper cervical care also works quite well in improving your nervous system function. Similar to the latter, atlas bone adjustments aim to remove pressure on the brainstem and nerve roots which can happen when your cervical spine is out of alignment. Traumatic injuries in your past, like head butts in contact sports, childbirth-related neck trauma, concussion, whiplash, and TBI, can compromise the cervical spine. The sheer force from such events can result in ligament tears that dislodge your atlas and axis bones. Consequently, the displaced bones can cause the head to tilt, putting undue pressure on the nerves, muscles, and blood vessels along the neck and shoulders. Naturally, adjusting misaligned neck bones can relieve stress on your nerves, helping them function better and reducing inflammation in the neck area. This can help prevent migraines from occurring or make them less severe and shorter in duration when they do occur.
Neck and head injuries are so easy to disregard until you understand how they relate to health problems like the migraine episodes that constantly bother you now. No matter how insignificant your previous injuries might have been, we suggest scheduling a consultation with an upper cervical doctor. This way, you can determine if you need a chiropractic atlas adjustment.
