Are you tired of feeling helpless and frustrated whenever you experience a debilitating attack? Do you often have to change your ways to find migraine relief in Howard Beach that works? 

Severe migraine episodes can make it impossible for you to work, socialize, or even get out of bed. It can happen even on the most important day of your life. There have been many testimonies of missed important events and incidents of isolation because of migraines. 

But what happens when they start to get worse for you? How should you cope when the pain is more intense, the attacks are more frequent, and the aura is more persistent? How do you know if it's a phase or a sign of something more serious? When your symptoms start progressing, it can be a telling sign that you're not addressing the root cause of your pain.

 

Is medical attention necessary for migraine?

When your pain starts worsening, you may panic and wonder if a visit to an emergency room should be your next step. However, before you let the pain consume you and influence your judgment, take a deep breath and help yourself to calm down.

If you suffer from chronic migraines, some signs can help you determine when to seek medical attention. While the answer is not always clear-cut, you can start by observing your symptoms to know when to talk to your doctor about your migraines. Look out for these signs:

  • Your headaches are becoming more severe or frequent.
  • Your pain and other symptoms are now affecting your ability to carry out your daily activities or work.
  • You feel like your migraines are taking over your life, making you anxious or depressed.
  • You're experiencing new symptoms beyond your usual head pain. This may include nausea, vomiting, light sensitivity, or difficulty concentrating. 

These signs could indicate a more severe condition and require medical attention. Seeking proper care is crucial to help manage your migraines and improve your quality of life. However, at the start of your migraine symptoms, it's best not to ignore them as they may continue to progress. Instead, try to explore your options for migraine relief in Howard Beach.

Upper Cervical Misalignment and Migraine

If you've been exploring options and exerting efforts left and right to ease your migraine, and your symptoms are still worsening, it may be time to get your spine alignment checked. A misalignment in this area is known to trigger symptoms similar to migraine, and since misalignments do not heal on their own, the symptoms may persist and worsen over time. If you suspect having neck bone misalignments due to traumatic injuries like whiplash, concussions, and TBI, you will likely benefit from seeking help from an Upper Cervical Chiropractor. 

Upper Cervical misalignment is when your topmost bones, where your atlas and axis are located, are out of proper alignment. This can affect the surrounding areas as well as your nervous system function. The most recommended resolution for this is gentle Upper Cervical Chiropractic adjustments done only by trained and certified Upper Cervical Chiropractors.

Cervical Chiropractic care has helped many people eliminate their head pain while others experience a reduction in frequency or severity. It can also help ease future episodes. 

Many patients who seek migraine relief in Howard Beach report signs of relief from migraine's debilitating symptoms after getting adjustments in their upper cervical spine.
