Chiro Spa Malibu's Dr. Dana Zappala provides Agoura Hills, CA, and the nearby region, headache and migraine relief. She does it using all natural means, meaning you take nothing into your body that's a foreign substance. Let's discuss her services.
General Information
A variety of issues can trigger a migraine and cause you to search for migraine relief. For instance, women may experience migraines prior to their menstrual cycles due to a change in hormones. Hormonal changes during menopause and pregnancy can lead to migraines as well.
Sometimes, the cause of your migraine is a nutritional deficiency. When you don't get enough of certain vitamins or minerals, it can trigger headaches and migraines.
Other possible factors, include but aren't limited to, the following:
- Stress
- Sleep deprivation
- Dehydration
- Allergies
Various other reasons could cause migraines, and sometimes the cause of them isn't known, seeing as how researchers are still trying to find the cause of migraines.
Symptoms
A migraine isn't just a headache. Some people develop symptoms beforehand, such as constipation, mood changes, and frequent urination. You might have visual or possibly auditory disturbances, known as an aura.
During the migraine, you might have pain on one side of your head or possibly both. Sensitivity to light or sound is possible. Some people also experience nausea and vomiting.
After the migraine attack, you may feel drained of energy.
Chiropractic Migraine Relief
Some people experience migraine relief after they visit a chiropractor. Sometimes, they'll need multiple treatments or recurring treatments to continue to ward off, or at least decrease, the pain.
One example of a treatment our Agoura Hills, CA, practitioner may recommend is a spinal adjustment. It usually takes multiple treatments to see the full effects. It could help by increasing circulation so more nutrients flow to the cells. You might also notice a difference as it optimizes nerve function in your spine. It's also been shown to improve sleep in some patients, which could ease your migraines if they were sleep deprivation-induced.
Lifestyle advice is also part of the treatment we provide. It may consist of better regulating your diet or educating you on ways to get a better night's sleep. Sometimes, the advice will include information about possible triggers so you can reduce the occurrence of migraines.
When you visit Chiro Spa Malibu in Agoura Hills, CA, Dr. Dana Zappala will provide you with one of the aforementioned treatments or possibly others to provide you with migraine relief. She understands this is an unpleasant problem and realizes not everyone responds well, or wants to take medications for relief. That's when chiropractic care comes into play.
