Migraines are a type of headache characterized by severe pain, often on one side of the head, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. They can be debilitating and significantly impact the quality of life. Understanding the triggers and underlying causes of migraines is crucial for effective prevention. Our experienced team will assess your specific symptoms and create a tailored prevention plan to address your needs.
  • Lifestyle Modifications: Adopting a healthy lifestyle is key to preventing migraines. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, adequate hydration, and sufficient sleep can help reduce the frequency and severity of migraines. Avoiding known triggers, such as certain foods, stress, and environmental factors, is also essential.
  • Chiropractic Care: Regular chiropractic adjustments can help maintain proper spinal alignment, reducing tension and stress that may contribute to migraines. Studies have shown that chiropractic care can be effective in reducing the frequency and intensity of migraines (Cleveland Clinic) (Spine-health).
  • Nutritional Advice: Certain nutrients and dietary supplements can play a role in migraine prevention. Magnesium, riboflavin (vitamin B2), and coenzyme Q10 have been found to reduce migraine frequency in some individuals. Our team can provide personalised nutritional advice and supplementation recommendations.
  • Stress Management: Techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, and relaxation exercises can help manage stress, a common migraine trigger. Incorporating stress-reducing activities into your daily routine can be beneficial.
  • Collaborative Approach: Our team includes chiropractors, massage therapists, and physiotherapists, working together to provide comprehensive care. Each professional brings their expertise to create a holistic prevention plan.
For preventing migraines at home, self-care methods such as maintaining a regular sleep schedule, staying hydrated, and managing stress can be beneficial. Keeping a migraine diary to identify and avoid triggers can also be helpful. However, professional guidance is essential for persistent or severe symptoms.
If you experience symptoms such as sudden severe headache, visual disturbances, or neurological symptoms, seek immediate medical attention. These symptoms may indicate a more serious underlying condition that requires specialised care.

Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, holistic approach to preventing migraines. By focusing on spinal alignment and reducing muscle tension, chiropractic treatments can provide long-lasting relief. Our approach may also include nutritional advice, lifestyle modifications, and ergonomic recommendations to support your overall well-being. For example, maintaining proper posture and using ergonomic equipment can significantly reduce the risk of tension that may lead to migraines.

At myChiro Clinic, we are committed to helping you achieve optimal health and prevent migraines. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and take the first step towards a migraine-free life.
