Headache/Migraine Relief Specialist: Dr. McNeil Macomb/Shelby Chiropractor
Many U.S. studies show that 10 million Americans suffer from moderate to severe disability from pain associated with headaches. Because headaches are so common, most people think that getting a headache is just a normal part of life. Wrong!
Headaches. Everyone gets them. They can be mild, severe, annoying, or extremely debilitating and may not go away. Medications may simply dull the pain temporarily but this does not address the cause of these headaches. Also, medications can have a strong negative and lasting effect on the body when used over time. Most people suffering from headaches turn to the more natural and most often more effective approach to treating their headaches with chiropractic care. Headaches are a very common problem and a sign that somethings wrong. Chiropractic care is a proven way to obtain relief of the pain associated with headaches. There are several different types of headaches and chiropractic care not only relieves the pain but it corrects the common cause of headaches. The most common type of headache is a tension headache. Tension headaches are typically caused by physical or emotional stress in our daily lives. Stress then settles in the muscles as tension and can cause headaches. Tension headaches are usually easily treatable with chiropractic adjustments and will subside in frequency with just a few visits to the chiropractor. The second type of headache is a migraine headache. This is characterized by intense pain with sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine headaches are usually caused by impaired vascular flow and usually take more time to treat. A patient suffering from migraines should begin to experience pain relief after a few chiropractic adjustments and a full recovery after completing the prescribed care plan. The most common cause of headaches is the malfunction and misalignment of spinal bones in the neck and upper back. When these bones lose their normal position, nerves and blood vessels to the head are affected and can result in headaches. Specific spinal and postural adjustments can help correct spinal misalignment and dysfunction created by various stresses in our lives. Many patients report headache relief from chiropractic care though it may take more than one visit to achieve pain relief and correct the underlying mechanical restrictions. Everyone is different and the length of care depends on the severity of each patients' condition.

Vicks vaporub spread over afflicted side. Sounds bizarre, but I do it now and then if its bad.

Do some research on common dietary triggers. Mine are MSG and soy products. Once you find your triggers and cut them out of your diet, your life will change. I truly cannot believe how different my life is without migraines. Please try it.

hi cleocat,
this is going to sound silly but tie a tie or scarf tightly around your head, it releaves the pain-has something to do with pressire but i always find it great!

Sounds weird, but see a dentist; a lot of people's migraines are caused by a mis-aligned jaw, which can be quite easily fixed.
Wasn't my problem, sadly, so I still get them.
I find a hot shower, and brushing my teeth helps- but you have to do that before it gets too bad, otherwise you can't do anything, can you?
jarm replied on Sun, 03 Jun, 2007
I have been very careful to notice dietary triggers (mine are sugar, soy and maybe sulphites).
I found out that oversleeping can trigger migraines. (bummer!!!!) So, I sleep just enough to refresh me now, no extra lazy snoozes.
I have tried putting grated ginger on my forehead. It is messy, but seems to change something and sometimes helps. Be careful not to get ginger juice in your eyes.

lavender oil on the forehead and a cold flannell on the back of the neck at the same time. then sleep . x goodluck with it also i've found that panadol is really good painkiller for migraines and it's easy on the belly lol.

Hopefully its not one that you just can't get to sleep with..
From my experiences just have a nap in a cool room and maybe take a placebo, oh sorry 'paracetemol'

shut curtains..turn off all phones..no music or tv..place thumb one side of nose and index finger on other side of nose just at the top of your nose and eye socket and push upwards....do that for a few minutes it does hurt but i find after that few minutes is up the pressure has calmed down a little....2 pain killers to be include
find out if you grind your teeth in your sleep....sounds stupid i know but grinding teeth is caused by tension which doesnt help migraines

I'm presuming by "conventional" you mean prescription drugs like Imitrex (which work well for lots of people). If you're not in a situation where you have the medication handy, then one of the best solutions I ever ran across was to plunge your head into near-freezing water. I realize that sounds extreme, but it has a logical reason for working; the blood vessels in the scalp and (possibly) the dura contract, and that relieves the pressure that seems to cause migraine pain for most people. It's one of those on-the-trail remedies that I learned when I lived in the Rockies (where icy water in the form of snow-melt is pretty easy to find).
Some people get relief from caffeine; I am sometimes helped in the earliest stages of a migraine by taking a medication such as non-drowsy Sinutabs, which likewise constrict the blood vessels somewhat.
If you get migraines just before your menstrual period, you might want to consider going on the type of birth control that allows you to have only four periods a year, rather than the usual 13. It seems to be the drop in hormonal levels that is associated with migraines, although nobody really seems to know WHY that's a problem yet. I used to get horrible, throwing-up-stay-in-bed-for-two-days migraines, and the change to only four periods a year was an enormous help (not to mention being a lot nicer in general).
I also learned to avoid Nutrasweet (aspartame) and MSG (which is often used in Chinese food in particular), as both those things triggered HORRIBLE headaches.
Good luck!

Theres no doubt that a migraine is the worst kind of headache that you can suffer from.. The throbbing pain is usually accompanied by feelings of nausea and disorientation.. It can be quite miseable with sufferers having to lie down, preferably in a darkened room with a face or ice pack to reduce the pain. I have known migraines to even last more than a day at a time.
