Breakthrough Headache Relief in Boise, Idaho

No one wants to go through life experiencing headaches on a consistent basis. Unfortunately, such is the case for many. Did you know that there are actually quite a few different types of headaches? Consider the following list (we’ve included migraines even though a migraine is technically a neurological condition rather than a headache). 

• Tension Headache: The most common form of headache, tension headaches throb and may become intensely painful.  
• Migraine: Characterized by extreme head pain, light and sound sensitivity, and nausea, migraines may or may not be preceded by aura.  
• Cervicogenic Headache: Frequent headaches that are accompanied by neck pain or stiffness
• ​Cluster Headache: A rare and extremely painful type of headache that may be accompanied by sweating, red eyes, tearing, and runny nose.  

How many days have you lost to a migraine this year alone? There's a piece of the migraine puzzle that doesn't get talked about nearly enough — and once you see it, you'll wonder why no one brought it up sooner. Breaking the Migraine Cycle breaks it all down, for free.

​Natural Headache Relief  

Headaches are now understood to be neurovascular in nature. What does that mean? It means both the nervous system and the vascular system are involved. Yes, headache pain is often connected to the flow of both cerebrospinal fluid and blood. Thus, the proper alignment of the C1 and C2 vertebrae is vital. A misalignment can severely restrict the flow of these two vital neurovascular fluids.  

Upper cervical chiropractors, such as Dr. Grayson Blom in Boise, Idaho, specialize in treating C1 and C2 subluxation. Through diagnostic imaging techniques, a misalignment can be determined. Gentle adjustments can correct the misalignment. The result is a free flow of blood and cerebrospinal fluid. For many, the result has been reduced headache symptoms in as little as 1-2 adjustments.
