  • Visual disturbances
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Throbbing pain on one or both sides of the head
  • Sensitivity to smell, light, touch, and loud noise
  • Tingling and numbness in the hands, feet, or face
  • Attacks last anywhere from 4 to 72 hours

Aside from the debilitating physical symptoms, the out of pocket cost can be hard to come to terms with. Here is a list of what one insured woman spent from her own finances to try to care for her migraines during one year:

  • $90.00: mask that flashes red lights in specific patterns
  • $500.00: supplements
  • $2,500.00: three ER visits
  • $1,250.00: Botox injections
  • $125.00: MRI – after insurance
  • $750.00: acupuncture
  • $1,850.00: general chiropractic care
  • $350.00 + $25.00: headband and electrodes to deliver electrical impulses through the forehead

This totals over $7,500.00 for just one person who had insurance! And she did not find the answer to getting rid of her migraines. Is there anything that works and is affordable?

Cost-Efficient Migraine Relief

At NUCCA Wellness Clinic of Chicago, we help patients using upper cervical chiropractic. This is not traditional chiropractic, but rather a special method that does not require popping, twisting, or cracking the spine. Instead, we employ a safe and gentle method to address what may be the underlying cause of migraine headaches.

If a bone of the upper neck is misaligned, it can be creating pressure or stress on the brainstem and, in turn, the central nervous system. The goal is to alleviate this pressure by correcting the misalignment. Most patients report seeing improvement in their symptoms right from the first adjustment. Some see migraines go away completely. Therefore, many patients see fewer migraines and spend a fraction of the money on finding a way to care for them.
