"Dr. MacArthur, why do I get migraine headaches before my period? Is this normal?" - Beth D.
Many women who have a susceptibility towards migraines due to spinal, occipital, oxygen and/or nutritional issues will have exacerbations during their menstruation. This is caused by cyclical hormonal changes in the body that affect muscle tone and inflammation. An excellent way to reduce menstrual migraine pain is to limit thehormonal affect through therapy. At our practice, we also recommend certain nutritional approaches which we have found help tremendously in lessening the hormonal affects, easing migraine headache pain, and can fix the problem at the source. - Dr. Aaron MacArthur
