Do you get migraines when you eat?
Monday, May 17, 2010
Oftentimes, migraine patients will complain of throbbing pain, nausea, and the light and noise sensitivity that follow eating chocolate, wine, or cheese. .jpg)
Researchers have been examining the connections between food and migraines, trying to identify the trigger that can cause so much distress. One challenge in finding clear links is that the triggers are not always consistent.
In some cases, even though certain foods could trigger a migraine the cause turns out to be compessed nerves in the neck, specifically in a region at the base of the skull, called the occiput. In fact...for many patients, after specific chiropractic neurological adjustments are made, they no longer have to worry about a migraine being triggered by food or smell. Once the cause of the migraines is no longer present, the patient won’t be predisposed to any further issues.
If you haven't tried chiropractic neurology for your migraines, you will certainly want to start. The actual cause of migraines is not well understood by most treating practitioners, so it is imperative that you connect with someone who is an expert, such as a chiropractic neurologist.You can call our office today at 699- 5600 for migraine headache relief in Portland, Maine.
