Additional Information

If you have ever experienced a headache or a migraine in Utah, then you understand how painful they can be. If you think you’ve had a migraine, but are not sure, it's likely that you have not had one. 

Migraine pain is often described as a debilitation pain that leaves many patients helpless. Traditionally, headaches and migraines are treated with medication, both over-the-counter and prescription strength. Medications can help dull or numb the pain, but rarely fix the cause. At Activate Brain Clinic & Chiropractic we work hard to find the cause of your condition.

Symptoms of headaches and migraines can vary from neck pain, eye tension, irritability, depression and even hallucinations. When a person is experiencing a severe headache or a migraine they will often avoid light, loud noises, become lightheaded, nauseated and sometimes vomit.

Time and time again doctors of chiropractic are able to help headache patients. A misalignment in the spine can create pressure on the nervous system. By aligning the spine, and removing the pressure, the occurrence of headaches can be minimized or corrected. Everyone knows that you go to the dentist to prevent cavities, but it is not common for people to think of a chiropractor to prevent headaches, migraines and other conditions. Chiropractors do not just “move bones”, they help to take care of the nervous system.

The treatment that your doctor will choose can depend on the true cause of your migraine or headache. When starting care your past and current health will be reviewed, and an extensive exam will be performed to track the source of the headaches. Patients often spend hundreds of dollars each year purchasing Ibuprofen, Tylenol and other drugs to help with pain, but can those drugs fix the cause?

Living with headaches or migraines is not really living, but if you have them I don’t need to tell you that. At ACTIVATE we will work to find the cause, help you understand what the cause is, and create a care plan to fix the problem. Let us help you get your life back. You are always welcome to call and ask questions. Our staff is here for you!
