What Causes Migraine Headaches?

Although the exact causes of migraines are not fully understood, various factors have been identified that contribute to their onset. Reducing the frequency and severity of migraine headaches involves addressing these root causes rather than merely masking symptoms. Our comprehensive approach includes diagnosing your specific triggers and developing a tailored migraine relief treatment plan. Potential causes include:

Trigeminal Nerve Irritation

This critical nerve controls sensations in the head and face. Misalignments in the neck vertebrae, often resulting from poor posture or injury, can irritate this nerve, leading to migraines. Many patients report increased migraines following a whiplash injury.

Chemical Imbalances

Factors such as sleep patterns, nutrition, and hormonal fluctuations can disrupt nervous system function, triggering migraines.
