Migraines are a very prevalent neurological condition that affects over 38 million people around the world. Research still has not uncovered a specific cause of migraines, but there are steps you can take that can provide some relief. Screening for vitamin deficiencies might help shed some light on why some people seem to suffer so badly with migraines. Some of the vitamins that have been studied and potentially implicated in connection with migraines are:
- Magnesium
- Vitamin D
- Vitamin B2
- Folate
- Co-enzyme Q10
Because more people are looking for natural solutions to their migraines, incorporating more foods containing these vitamins might help bring more balance back into day-to-day life.

Breaking The Migraine Cycle
Through an upper cervical chiropractic approach, it is possible to uncover the root cause of your migraines. Upper cervical chiropractic is focused on the alignment of the upper two vertebrae in the neck, which protect an area of the central nervous system called the brainstem. When there is a misalignment of one of these vertebrae, it can inhibit normal signals from traveling between the brain and body via the brainstem. This can result in the conditions under which migraine episodes can occur. Though the exact cause of migraines is still somewhat of a mystery, there are certainly neurological components to the condition that can be understood by an upper cervical approach.
At Upper Cervical Health Center of Maine, we take a very thorough look at the alignment of the upper cervical spine to determine if a misalignment is at the root of our patients’ migraines. If a misalignment is present, we work to bring the alignment back to normal with gentle and specific adjustments. By doing so, normal communication over the nervous system is restored, and people can achieve lasting relief from their migraines.
