June – Migraine Awareness Month


June is Migraine Awareness Month and this year’s theme is Educate Yourself, Educate Others. If you suffer from migraines, chiropractic care can be a valuable tool in managing symptoms.
Chiropractors can assess, diagnose, and manage headaches. Evidence suggests that chiropractic care, including manual therapy, can be effective in treating cervicogenic and tension headaches. Studies have also shown that chiropractic care can help decrease the intensity and frequency of migraines.

The treatment options may include:
1. Manual therapy
2. Soft tissue therapy
3. Modalities including electrical stimulation, acupuncture, and ultrasound
4. Rehabilitation
5. Lifestyle changes and education
6. Referral and co-management

It’s important to take headaches seriously. Consider consulting a chiropractor if you often have headaches, if you frequently take a pain reliever for your headaches, if your headache pattern changes, or if your headaches are getting worse. 
Seek prompt attention if your headache is sudden and severe, follows a head injury, or is accompanied by fever, stiff neck, weakness, numbness, or difficulty speaking.
