Migraines in Charlottesville, VA

Migraines are excruciating headaches, often accompanied by symptoms like sensitivity to light and nausea. If you have them frequently they can really interrupt your daily life. Migraines are not completely understood by doctors or scientists, but we do know that every person can have different triggers for their migraines. Learning your migraine triggers and avoiding them can go a long way with preventing migraines, but we can help you find relief, too.

Main Causes

One of the most common triggers for a migraine can be a subluxation or misalignment of the spine in the neck. Exercise and physical therapy can stretch and strengthen your neck so you stay in alignment. Other triggers and causes of migraines can include:

  • Stress
  • Hormonal changes
  • Fasting or skipping meals
  • Certain foods
  • Caffeine
  • Alcohol
  • Weather changes
  • Some medications
  • Intense activity

These are just some of the most common triggers, but every patient is different. Talk to your doctor if you think you've discovered a trigger or if you have any concerns about your headaches. When you come to see us for your migraine in Charlottesville, VA, a team of medical professionals will design a treatment plan to minimize your symptoms and help you avoid triggers. A variety of therapies can help you find relief from migraines and we will find the best treatment option for you.
