Las Vegas Chiropractic Treatments for Migraines & Headache Pain

As Doctors and Chiropractors, learn more about headaches and migraines, they are finding astounding ways to kill the pain before it starts, and prevent it from coming back. This can all be done without the use of drugs or surgery.

Migraine Pain: Meredith's Story

For Meredith Sanner, a 31-year old computer analyst, the first signals a migraine was coming on were mild, dancing lights and light headedness. But soon enough the tidal wave of migraine pain was sure to follow. Soon she would seek total darkness, typically a restroom because of the nausea, her migraine headache pain was unbearable and the convulsions were increasing in intensity. Worst of all, the migraine attacks were beginning to affect her memory.

Meredith had been adjusted by various Chiropractors before discovering NUCCA for herself, like many others, it took the referral of a caring friend to nudge her into the office. “After my first adjustment, I could feel warmth, like more blood flowing through”, she reported. Many years later, Meredith is in the gym, and had since been promoted at work, no longer affected by migraine headache pain.

NUCCA and Migraine Treatment

After having treated hundreds of patients with migraine, cluster and sinus headaches, we understand what you're going through. And if it's a loved one or co–worker, you've probably seen them clutch at their head just wishing the nightmare would stop. Allowing chronic migraines and headaches to go untreated, is not only extremely painful, it may make future attacks harder to control.

The Breakthrough: Time Magazine recently reported on the international symposium of over 600 scientists from 32 countries known as the Migraine Trust. Their research had isolated the source of pain, within the brainstem. The center of the brain known as the hypothalamus receives any one of the many migraine pain and headache triggers, and sends the signals to the upper brainstem activating the trigeminal nerve, which gets the pain rolling.

It was further found that many severe headaches may actually be migraine pain in disguise As NUCCA Doctors we have studied the science of the brainstem, and know this area to be protected by the upper most neck bone known as the Atlas. This bone is shaped like a ring, with the sensitive brainstem dangling in the middle. Any shifting of this bone, due to accidents, injuries or just plain wear and tear, can put direct pressure on the brainstem.

This pressure can help explain why many migraine pain and headaches seemingly strike out of nowhere. But there is hope for migraine sufferers, pressure on the brainstem can be evaluated, and gently treated using the NUCCA Spinal Correction. A tested, safe procedure which gently realigns the neck vertebrae, taking pressure off the brainstem, and in many cases, eliminating headache and migraine pain completely. In another research study on 127 patients with migraine pain for 18 years or more, Chiropractic treatments reduced the intensity, duration and frequency of the migraine attacks significantly. We urge you to share this information with anyone of your family, friends or co-workers who suffer from chronic headache and migraine pain. Take a moment to reach out and let them know there's help, they'll never stop thanking you.
