Headache Treatment and Migraine Relief

Lone Tree Wellness, which serves Lone Tree, CO and the nearby region, can help if you suffer from migraines and headaches. Sometimes, the root of your problem is in the nervous system, and in other cases, the problem may arise from a nutrient deficiency. At our practice, Dr. Justice can target the root cause and find you a treatment to reduce your headache or migraine days and potentially ease the extent of the pain.

Headaches vs Migraines

The words "headaches" and "migraines" are often used interchangeably. However, these two issues are not the same, and a migraine is more than just a really bad headache. For instance, the type of pain you feel from a headache versus a migraine differs. When you have a headache, it is typically a dull aching pain. On the other hand, a migraine will cause more severe pain, usually moderate to severe. The pain from a migraine tends to be either a pulsing or throbbing sensation.

A headache usually occurs by itself without the presence of other symptoms, unless allergies, an infection, or another similar problem triggers it. A migraine, however, may also induce vomiting and nausea. Some people experience neck pain or suffer from sensitivity to light or sound. Visual disturbances may develop. Other possible symptoms include irritability, depression, difficulty speaking, and constipation.

Headache and Migraine Causes

Either a migraine or headache may stem from alcohol use. A lack of sleep may also cause either. Eating certain foods, stress, certain medications, or not sleeping enough can also contribute to either one. Hormonal changes are known to cause migraines.

Treating Migraines and Headaches

At the beginning of your appointment, our practitioner will conduct a thorough assessment of your medical history. Our chiropractor will want to know about your eating, sleeping, and other lifestyle habits. Dr. Justice will ask when the headaches or migraines occur, how long they last, and the severity.

Then, our chiropractor will tailor a plan specific to your situation, which may consist of routine adjustments. These adjustments will improve nervous system function, which can ultimately improve your headache or migraine symptoms and frequency. Your treatment could consist of diet or lifestyle changes to correct a nutritional deficiency or poor habits that might be causing your migraines or headaches.
