Complex migraines include a lot more than just a headache. For starters, aura may indicate an incoming migraine with numerous visual symptoms and nausea. That’s only the beginning of the problems with complex migraines. Other symptoms may include:
- Temporary vision loss
- Fatigue
- Speech difficulties
In fact, the symptoms of a complex migraine are so bad, they are sometimes confused for stroke.
What Causes a Complex Migraine?
While the underlying cause of complex migraines is still a mystery, many researchers postulate that it has to do with genetics. In fact, scientists claim to have identified three specific genes that complex migraine sufferers have in common.
While the good news is that complex migraines are rather rare, that is little consolation to a person who has already been diagnosed. With so few options available, is there a natural way to find real relief?
Natural Help for Complex Migraine Sufferers
Upper cervical chiropractic care is seeing great success in helping to relieve people of all sorts of migraine types. Why is this the case?
It turns out that many who suffer from migraines seem to have a history of head or neck trauma. This makes sense because these injuries can easily cause an upper cervical misalignment. And upper cervical misalignments can create the right conditions in the body for migraine symptoms to occur, including those experienced during a complex migraine.
Upper cervical chiropractic care specializes in restoring the top two bones of the spine into place in the gentlest way possible. This allows for proper blood and cerebrospinal fluid flow as well as optimal brainstem function. Since even the slightest misalignment can result in inhibiting these vital functions, it is no wonder that many feel better right from their first adjustment. In fact, some have seen a complete resolution of all migraine symptoms.
