Migraine headaches are extremely painful and can greatly affect your quality of life. One in every ten people in the world—39 million people in the United States—suffers from migraines. Migraines are the sixth most disabling disease in the world. There are various kinds of migraine relief including medications, some of which have harsh side effects. However, migraine relief can also come in the form of massage therapy.
Dynamic Bodyworks offers Migraine Massage to provide migraine relief to our clients. One type of treatment includes Myokinesthetic System (MYK) massage. Through postural analysis, our therapists can help find the nerve that is causing the migraine. Once that nerve is isolated and MYK treatment is applied, the intensity and frequency of migraines can be reduced.
Proper body alignment is important for overall wellness. Once the body is properly aligned through migraine massage, pain will be reduced or alleviated completely.
Migraines affect the body by causing a change in the electrical activity and blood flow to the brain which affects the nerves in the brain. The result can result in severe pain, sensitivity to light, sounds and smells and even tingling or burning sensations. In addition, the migraine sufferer may experience nausea and even vomiting.
Migraines can be triggered by a variety of things in the environment and in the body. Some environmental triggers can include changes in the weather such as pressure changes and hotter temperatures, bright lights, and the blue light from computers and screens. Poor posture from sitting at a desk all day can also trigger migraines. From within the body, migraines can be caused by dehydration, alcohol, cheese and processed meats, and caffeine. For some, hormonal changes can also trigger migraines.
Massage for migraine relief is one tool that the chronic sufferer can use to help reduce the intensity and the frequency of migraine headaches. Contact us to schedule an appointment.
