Relief for Migraines
What are Migraines?
Migraines are intense headaches that can happen again and again. They affect many people around the world, especially women. Let's talk about what causes migraines, what their symptoms are, how common they are, and how they can affect daily life.
What causes Migraines?
Experts are still learning about why migraines happen, but they think it's a mix of things like genetics, the environment, and how the brain works. Some things that can trigger migraines include certain foods (like cheese or chocolate), stress, bright lights or loud noises, and changes in hormones or weather.
Common Migraine Symptoms include:
When someone has a migraine, they usually get a very bad headache that feels like throbbing or pulsating pain. It can be on one side of the head or both. Along with the headache, other common symptoms can include:
1. Problems with the senses: Some people have trouble with their vision, like seeing flashing lights or zigzag lines. They may also become sensitive to light, sound, or smells.
2. Feeling sick: Migraines can make a person feel nauseous, and they might even throw up or have a stomachache.
3. Warning signs: Before a migraine starts, some people experience what's called an "aura." This might involve seeing things that aren't there, feeling tingling or numbness, or having trouble speaking.
4. Tiredness and crankiness: Migraines can leave a person feeling very tired and easily annoyed. It can be hard to concentrate and do everyday things.
Migraines are quite common, affecting about 12% of people worldwide. They are more likely to happen in people between the ages of 15 and 49, and they usually become less frequent and severe as a person gets older. Migraines can have a big impact on a person's life, leading to missed school or work days, lower productivity, and overall feeling not well.
Migraines don't just cause pain during an attack. They can also disrupt daily life in different ways, such as:
- Getting in the way of normal activities: Migraines can make it hard to do everyday things like work, study, or spend time with friends and family.
- Emotions and thoughts: Dealing with frequent migraines can bring frustration, anxiety, and feeling down. The unpredictability of migraines and their symptoms can affect a person's mental well-being.
- Feeling alone: Migraines may lead to isolating oneself from others, which can make a person feel lonely and strain relationships with loved ones and colleagues.
- Being less productive: Regular migraines can lower productivity at work or school, which can impact career advancement and academic performance.
Understanding the impact migraines can have on a person's life is important. It's essential to seek proper medical care to manage migraines effectively, reduce their frequency and severity, and improve overall well-being. By knowing more about the causes, symptoms, prevalence, and impact of migraines, individuals can make informed decisions about treatments and lifestyle adjustments to have a better quality of life.

Migraine Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Migraines are headaches that can be brought on by many different things. For some people, stress or certain foods can set them off. Changes in your sleep, bright lights, strong smells, and even weather can also trigger a migraine. Sometimes, a crooked top vertebra in your neck (the Atlas vertebra) can play a part too. Our team at Atlas Chiropractic in Boulder, CO
is here to help!
There are ways to cope with migraines using your mind. Things like deep breathing, mindfulness, and relaxation exercises can help. These techniques can not only help you feel less stressed, but they might also make your migraines less severe or frequent. Talking to a counselor or joining a support group can also give you emotional strength.
Migraines usually happen in four steps:
a) Prodrome: This happens before the headache starts. You might feel tired, have food cravings, or feel stiff in your neck.
b) Aura: Some people see flashing lights or spots, or feel a tingling on one side of the body.
c) Headache: This is when the migraine hits. You usually feel pain on one side of your head. You might also feel sick or find light and sound bothersome.
d) Postdrome: This is after the headache. You might feel drained and confused.
If these stages sound all too familiar to you, don't hesitate to seek help. At Atlas Chiropractic, we're committed to helping you manage and reduce your migraines.

Yes, spinal misalignment, particularly in the upper cervical region, which includes the Atlas vertebra, can contribute to migraines. Misalignments here can interfere with normal nervous system function, which can in turn lead to a variety of health issues, including migraines. This happens because the misalignment can cause undue pressure on the brainstem and surrounding nerves, disrupting normal communication between the brain and body, potentially leading to the development of migraines. That's why treatments like Atlas vertebra realignment at Atlas Chiropractic could potentially help in reducing the frequency and severity of migraines.
