DRUG-LESS TREATMENT OF HEADACHES & MIGRAINES
Welcome back to my blog. For those of
you that are new to the blog, I am Dr. Jennifer Taschler, a Chiropractor and
Rehab specialist with an emphasis on the natural and drug-free treatment of headaches and migraines in Fairfax, VA. For
years I suffered daily with headaches and debilitating Migraines. After going the medication route and
suffering for years, I desperately asked my neurologist for alternatives. Fortunately,
he asked me to see a Chiropractor for treatment of my headaches and
Migraines. My treatments offered so much
relief that I attended Chiropractic School so that I could help others like my
Chiropractor had helped me.
Migraines and other types of headaches such
as tension headaches and sinus headaches are painful and can rob you of quality
of life. Migraine symptoms include a pounding headache, nausea, vomiting, and
light sensitivity. Migraine treatments may also include anti-nausea drugs and
medications to prevent or stop headaches. Headache
remedies include various types of pain relievers.
The exact causes of migraines are unknown, although they are related to changes
in the brain as well as to genetic causes. People with migraines may inherit
the tendency to be affected by certain migraine triggers, such as fatigue,
bright lights, weather changes, and others. There is a migraine "pain center" or
generator in the brain. A migraine begins when hyperactive nerve cells send out
impulses to the blood vessels, causing them to clamp down or constrict, followed
by dilation and the release of prostaglandins, serotonin, and other
inflammatory substances that cause the pulsation to be painful. Dr. Taschler has helped many patients over the last 20 years who suffer from headaches and migraines. Let her thorough protocol help you or someone you love. Call 703-293-2939 now to schedule your COMPLIMENTARY 10-minute Chiropractic consultation to see if and how Dr. Taschler can help!

10 Things You Should
Know About Migraines
1. There is a genetic predisposition to them. You should have your family member that is suffering from migraines seek chiropractic treatment as well.
2. It’s not just a headache. There can be up to four phases of a migraine headache starting up to 48 hours before the onset of the actual headache begins.
3. Migraine suffers usually have triggers. It is important to log your activities, including diet, sleep, stress, and weather to see what your trigger could be.
4. Migraines change throughout your life. Some women experience less severe migraine attacks after menopause. If you suffer from migraines, hot flashes are welcoming.
5. The sooner the better. Once you feel the onset of a migraine, get treatment immediately. Ice your upper neck for 15 minutes as soon as possible. Usually full relief is felt within a couple hours.
6. Don’t over use the medication. Many times migraine suffers will over use medication causing a rebound headache. Be sure that if you are using medication that you use it correctly. Seek treatment from a trained medical profession specializing in headaches and migraines.
7. Preventative treatment. It is always best to prevent a migraine. Keeping a healthy diet, getting regular sleep, and reducing stress are great ways to keep pain free.
8. Healthy supplements can help too! Studies have shown that magnesium, CoQ10, and B-vitamins help keep the migraines away.
9. Kids get migraines too. Children as early as 2 years old have been documented with migraine headaches and chiropractic is safe for children too!
10. Many alternative treatment options are available here to help. Chiropractic care in conjunction with massage has helped many to overcome migraines.
Chiropractic helps reduce the frequency, intensity, and duration of
your symptoms.
