Osteopathic Treatment for Migraines
Osteopaths regularly treat patients suffering from migraines. These patients are often unhappy with the amount of medications they are having to consume and are looking for a natural therapy to help their condition.
In the treatment of migraines, apart from treating the head and neck, the osteopath will often treat the upper back and pelvis to help decrease any tension on the nervous system from these areas and also to calm the stress nervous system which controls blood vessel diameter.
In the case of hormonal migraines such as menstrual and menopausal migraines the osteopath also carefully assesses the function of the face and head to help relieve any tension placed on the parts of the central nervous system which release hormones.
