Migraine is not something to learn to live with. It’s the worst headache you can experience and can reduce your quality of life. The debilitating head pain accompanied by vomiting, nausea, or light sensitivity makes simple tasks unbearable. The good news is that you no longer have to live with such pain. Our chiropractic team at Spine & Sport Chiropractic can treat your migraine using drug-free methods.

Different Types

• Migraine without aura: This type is the most common in the United States. The migraine causes a horrible headache accompanied by common symptoms like nausea, fatigue, or blurry vision. It worsens with a strong smell, sound, or light.
• Migraine with aura: Migraine with aura is a complicated type of migraine. You will experience visual disturbances a few minutes or hours before the headache starts. To some, it comes with trouble speaking as well as confusion.
• Migraine with brainstem aura: Migraine with brainstem aura is more prone in teenage girls. Probably because of their menstrual cycle. It comes with double vision, dizziness, vertigo, ringing in the ear, or slurred speech.
• Chronic migraine: Chronic migraine occurs with or without aura. The migraine frequently occurs to the point of disabling you.
• Abdominal migraine: It’s common in children and mostly exhibits symptoms like stomach pain, vomiting, and nausea.
• Silent migraines: This is a migraine that exhibits all typical symptoms of migraines without a headache.

The symptoms of a migraine sometimes make it difficult to distinguish whether you suffer from migraine or other conditions. Thus, the need for proper diagnosis from a chiropractor. The diagnosis may include taking your medical history, analyzing your symptoms, blood tests, and diagnostic imaging, including CT scans and MRIs.
