The average person suffers from headaches and they are just annoying. These people keep Tylenol, Advil, Ibuprofen, Aleve and Excedrin around the house to relieve the occasional symptoms of headaches. However, some people need something stronger than the over-the-counter medication and they seek out the migraine version. Yet others seek out even stronger medications like Topamax, Imitrex, Fioricet, Midrin, or any one of numerous other prescription pain medications.
The Secret Suffering of the Migraine
Some of us keep getting headaches despite popping over-the-counter and prescription pills. Migraines hunt us down and interrupt our lives like the black plague. We sit in dark rooms wondering if our lives will ever return to normal. We literally have spent hundreds and even thousands of dollars on doctors and medications that only give us temporary relief. Sometimes, the relief never came
Somewhere around this point, we migraine suffers turn to "alternative" treatments. We have nothing to lose and "back alley" treatments don't seem so bad. Our headaches aren't going away and we sure can't go on living in the dark. So where do we go for help? Where do we begin to look?
The Search for Migraine Relief Begins
Since I am not made of money, I cannot afford to go to clinics and migraine workshops. I have to find something that will work today. I need someone that can see me today. I need help today.
My friends recommend I seek the relief of a chiropractor. I am not so sure how well this will help but I find that it is not a bad idea. It can't be worse than what I am already going through so why not.
Chiropractic Treatment for Headaches
I am a skeptical person by nature so I do some research. Turns out that regular treatment actually reduces the frequency of migraines for some people. I couldn't believe it.
I also found out that some chiropractors offer massage as part of their practice. Then I find out that even more research has been done and massage has been proven effective in relieving tension headaches.
While the chiropractor does not help with all my migraines, it does help with many of my migraines and I have one that sees me the same day. Overall, I have to recommend seeing a chiropractor for headaches. If you suffer from migraines, you do not have to suffer in silence, see a chiropractor today.
