What are Migraines?

Research suggests more than 38 million people in the U.S. experience migraine headaches. They can be severe, often occurring on one side of the head, which can include throbbing or stabbing pain. People suffering from this condition are commonly sensitive to sound or light.

Types of Migraine Headaches

According to the American Migraine Association, there are many different types of migraines. Here is a brief overview.

• With aura. You may see visual changes, such as flashes of light or different shapes, and severe head pain typically follows.
• Without aura. If you feel your head throbbing or suffer from nausea and vomiting, but do not experience any visual changes, you probably have this type of migraine.
• Acephalgic. You will feel dizzy and/or experience an aura, but you don’t have actual pain.
• Hemiplegic. Often simulating symptoms associated with stroke, you might develop weakness or lose sensation on one side of your body and/or feel pins and needle sensations.
• Retinal. May cause temporary vision loss in one eye. Usually reversible, it may last from minutes to months. If you experience this symptom, tell our chiropractor because it may signal a different serious issue.

Unfortunately, these headaches are often debilitating and interfere with daily activities. Some migraines might be chronic. Medications can help, but they do not resolve the root problem.
