Taking the Kinks out of Migraine Pain

Migraines headaches have a debilitating effect on many people globally. According to The Migraine Research Institute 14 million people have headaches on a daily basis. This accounts for as much as 18% of women and 6% of men in America.¹

Migraines are notorious for causing head pain, visual disturbances, hearing problems, and nausea that may last hours or even days. Migraines are a difficult thing to diagnose and are even considered a disease by some doctors. Doctors are now taking a new look at where the head pain.

How many days have you lost to a migraine this year alone? There's a piece of the migraine puzzle that doesn't get talked about nearly enough — and once you see it, you'll wonder why no one brought it up sooner. Breaking the Migraine Cycle breaks it all down, for free.

Doctors in New Zealand are now looking at the importance of the upper neck and how proper alignment can affect the brain. By looking at the upper neck alignment it affects the input and output to the brainstem. The brainstem is responsible for how pain is perceived and modulated by the body especially related to head pain.² When the upper neck is misaligned the brainstem becomes overly sensitive to all information that is being processed. Migraines are commonly a result of an over-stimulated brainstem.

This is nothing new for migraine specialist, Dr Brett Gottlieb in Fair Oaks, CA, who helps patients get natural relief from head pain. As an Upper Cervical Chiropractor he focuses on the proper alignment of the spine and more importantly the atlas bone (C1 vertebra). By using detailed procedures to determine the exact location and degree of misalignment/subluxation in the neck, he can then tailor a gentle adjustment to restore proper alignment and brainstem function.

Studies have shown that Upper Cervical Chiropractic is extremely effective and can help in as little as 1 or 2 adjustments.³ Once proper alignment is achieved, the brainstem can function normally, and migraines typically resolve naturally. If you are suffering and want natural relief from headaches consult Dr Gottlieb for his expertise.
