Get Help for Your Migraines at Our Chiropractor's Clinic in Imperial, MO

Sometimes it so happens that migraines are caused by your neck being out of alignment and putting pressure on the nerves and other structures. The result is a painful headache known as a migraine, and it doesn't go away when using analgesics. We at Advanced Family Chiropractic and Rehabilitation in Imperial can help you get the relief you're seeking for your migraines through proven chiropractic techniques.

Migraine Without Aura

Migraine without aura typically occurs on one side of the head, and it is a throbbing pain that's strong enough to affect your daily life. Accompanying symptoms of this type of migraine can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and sensitivity to light. This is the most common type of migraine.

Migraine with Aura

This type of migraine has the symptoms of the migraine without aura but has visual disturbances that include tunnel vision, seeing stars or flashing lights, blind spots in the vision, and even temporary blindness.

Chronic Migraine

A chronic migraine happens at least fifteen days a month for over three months. It is known to trigger frequent headaches.

Migraine Without Headache

The symptoms of a migraine without a headache are similar to that of the migraine with aura but has none of the head pain. Instead, the migraine symptoms involve visual disturbances, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, and sometimes fever.

Cervicogenic Headache

While this is technically a headache and not a migraine, the pain from a cervicogenic headache can mimic a migraine. Sitting in the same position for too long or keeping your neck in the same state puts pressure on the neck and base of the skull. The resulting pain feels as if it's in the head, but the cause is in the neck due to a misalignment of the cervical spine.
