My migraines are mostly caused by one of five things: a) not enough sleep, b) food triggers, c) the weather, d) stress, or e) what always seemed to be neck tension.
If you look at the x-rays, however, one of the discs in my neck is half-slipped where it shouldn't be, and when it's out, the migraines *really* want to get bad. There's also a very slight curve in my spine where there shouldn't be. And, to just make things worse, when things are out, I hurt too bad to sleep, causing trigger A.
So for me, chiropractic, craniosacral, and massage are all really helpful, mostly because--contrary to what doctors tried to tell me for years--most of my migraines are mechanical.
Acupuncture helps too. I should remember to book an appointment sometime soonish.
