Tips to Reduce and Help Migraines in Kissimmee, FL

Migraines seem to be becoming an everyday occurrence for more and more people. Medical professionals and researchers are at a loss as to why they happen. One thing agreed upon is that they are related to an abnormal process taking place in the brain. This is likely due to a reduction in the flow of oxygen-rich blood or cerebrospinal fluid flow to the tissue surrounding the brain.

The reason this happens may have to do with a misalignment in the bones of the upper neck, particularly the C1 and C2 vertebrae – possibly the root cause of why migraines are so prevalent. Before we address how to take care of this issue, let’s look at some things a person can do to prevent migraines from happening so often.

Avoid Migraine Triggers

Here are a few things that may trigger an attack:

• Low blood sugar due to not eating often enough
• Intense exercise or physical stress
• Abnormal sleep patterns
• Too much or too little caffeine
• Alcoholic drinks
• Hormone imbalances due to birth control or menstruation
• Strong odors such as perfumes
• Emotional stress or anxiety
• Loud noises
• Bright, flashing lights
• Breathing second-hand smoke or smoking

 Keep a Migraine Journal

Writing down what happened just before a migraine can be helpful. Keep track of:

• Activities performed
• Foods eaten
• Weather conditions

Looking back over this record can help you to see a pattern developing and avoid these things as possible.
