Chronic Headache + Migraine Adjustment, Therapy + Treatment in Cambridge, Ontario
Headaches. Migraines. Tension. Discomfort. Distraction. We don’t mean to sound dramatic, but we get it: headaches are deeply unpleasant. It’s hard to know which is worse, the physical experience of a headache, or the way that it pulls you out of whatever activity is happening around you. It nags continually, an uneasy and sometimes distressing reminder of your pain, making it hard to focus on whatever you are doing, much less enjoy it. Or in the case of severe migraine, you may not be able to be able to participate at all.
You know the problems all too well. At Mitchell Chiropractic, we find solutions. More specifically, we find solutions that let the body do what it does better than anyone else can, which is heal itself. At the heart of it, that’s what we’re seeking when we create your headache or migraine treatment plan. We’re getting out of the body’s way to let it restore itself to the wellness and equilibrium that is its natural state.
In the case of headaches—whether occasional mild headaches or severe chronic migraines—the underlying cause may not always be what you expect. The nervous system is incredibly complex, passing signals between and throughout the body and brain in a lightning-fast matrix of information and energy.
Over time, stressors, accidents, injuries and the wear and tear of modern life create shifts—subtle misalignments—in the bones of the spine, the primary pathway for communication between your body and your brain. These misalignments disrupt the flow of information, and become more pronounced over time, leading to various manifestations of pain. Headaches and migraines are a common example of this pain.
