Migraines can be incredibly disruptive, and many people are looking for natural ways to manage them without solely relying on medication. At Advanced Sports and Family Chiropractic and Acupuncture, we believe in the whole-body approach to achieving optimal health and wellness.

In this ASFCA FAQ video, we will hear from Dr. Brad Woodle, a chiropractic physician and Director of ASFCA, as he offers valuable suggestions for those suffering from Migraines.

Helpful Tips for Getting to the Root Cause of Migraines

If you are suffering from frequent migraine headaches, we recommend looking at the posture of your spine. Specifically, the position of the head, neck, shoulders, and upper back. Misalignments and tension in these areas can affect blood flow and nerve function, often triggering painful migraines.

Pay special attention to your posture and incorporate stretching into your daily routine. Remember that light preventive chiropractic care can help correct posture, reducing the frequency and severity of migraines.

Next, We Encourage Patients to Examine Lifestyle Factors that Could Be Affecting Them

What lifestyle factors may be contributing to or triggering your migraines? Things like food sensitivity, environmental toxins, sleep, and stress levels can lead to a painful migraine headache. At ASFCA, we work with patients to identify potential food and environmental triggers every day; sometimes, it’s as simple as targeting a specific food you may be eating regularly, or perhaps it’s an additive or preservative that could be a trigger. We also help patients identify environmental triggers, such as mold, air quality, and lighting.

Lastly, How Much Water Are You Drinking on a Daily Basis?

We recommend that patients drink at least half of their body weight in ounces of water. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you should be consuming at least 75 to 150 ounces of water per day.

The goal with natural migraine care is to get to the root cause of the issue, not just mask the symptoms. We want you to live without interruptions and have more control over your overall health and well-being.
