Migraines & Your Nervous System In Jacksonville FL

It has been proven that a neurological dysfunction is present when you experience a migraine. A migraine is more than just a really bad headache and is actually neurological in nature. The central nervous system consists of the brain, brainstem, and spinal cord to control bodily functions such as speech, thought, movement, and much more.

Is Your Body Miscommunicating In Jacksonville FL?

Your spinal column is made up of 33 small interlocking bones known as vertebrae. The spinal column is the center vertical column of the body, from the hips up through the neck, and is responsible for housing and protecting the nerves in your body that carry messages to and from the brain to allow your body to communicate and function properly. Your spinal cord, which is connected to your brainstem, runs through the middle of your spinal canal. The nerves in your head, face, eyes, and cheeks are all connected and channel through the upper cervical area of the spine at the base of the skull. When there is a misalignment between the bones in the cervical spine, it can cause a lack of blood flow to your face, eyes, cheeks, and even your brain. These misalignments can cause migraines and pain or throbbing to your head and facial areas because the communication between your nerves and brainstem has been compromised. As a result of this the brainstem can be stressed, causing miscommunication between your nerves and your body.

The good news is that you don’t have to continue suffering from migraines. Our doctors at Voyage Chiropractic specialize in the Torque Release Technique to help locate the specific misalignments in the cervical vertebrae (which protect your brainstem) to perform precise adjustments to allow the nerve pathways to communicate without any interference. This also allows proper blood flow to be restored to those areas to reduce migraine frequency. If you are suffering from migraines give our office a call at (904) 240-4823. Our team would love to talk to you about what healing can look like for you!
