Addressing the Root Cause of Migraines in Manila
As upper cervical chiropractors, we are specifically trained to look for tiny misalignments that may lie in either the C1 of C2 vertebra. This area of the neck has great mobility, leaving it susceptible to injury and subluxations (misalignments). The C1 and C2 bones in the neck have the vital job of protecting the brainstem. If a misalignment occurs, the opposite becomes true. The neck bones now put undue stress on the brainstem causing it to malfunction. This may lead to migraines.
Using a gentle method, we can work with our patients to correct these misalignments and bring the brainstem back to normal functional capacity. Each adjustment is tailored to the patient and is only given when necessary. By restoring nervous system function, migraines and headaches often decrease in intensity, and many go away completely.
