Migraines are a common neurological condition, but the symptoms can vary wildly from patient to patient. For some, they cause moderate pain and are an occasional occurrence, while others are severely afflicted with frequent and extremely painful episodes. Researchers have linked chronic and debilitating migraines to depression. Is there any way to find relief?
Researchers wanted to see if there was a relationship between certain psychological factors and migraines. What they discerned was that chronic episodes (15 or more days per month) were more frequently associated with depression. When severe attacks caused disability, patients showed more psychiatric symptoms. In short, this reveals the relationship between the severity of a migraine condition and the other symptoms that may accompany it.

An upper cervical chiropractor trained to determine the exact location and degree of a misalignment in the atlas using diagnostic imaging techniques. Then a gentle and precise adjustment is used to correct the problem. Certainly, this has helped many to experience fewer or less severe migraines. Most importantly, some even find a complete resolution. An upper cervical practitioner in your area can help you to learn more.
