CLERMONT, Fla., April 29, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Michaux Family Chiropractic in Clermont, FL announced that the practice has had significant success treating patients for headaches and migraines.

Chiropractors Dr. Kurt Michaux, Dr. Jamee Fike and Dr. Dan Warner provide adjustments to help relieve tension and migraine headache pain originating in the neck. Through gentle adjustment of the upper two cervical vertebrae, Dr. Michaux says that he can help restore proper alignment to the cervical spine and reduce the occurrence of headaches.
Individuals who struggle with headaches and migraines have a non-invasive treatment option for natural pain management. Clermont chiropractor Dr. Kurt Michaux announced that he has had significant success treating patients with upper cervical chiropractic adjustments.
"Many headache and migraine sufferers feel hopelessly dependent on prescription pain relievers to manage their headache pain," said Dr. Michaux. "The good news for these patients is that there are natural, effective treatments that make a difference. Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to reduce headache pain."
According to Dr. Michaux, about 25 million people suffer from migraine pain each year. A migraine is an intense, throbbing headache, which is often combined with sensitivity to light or noise. Scientific research shows that a migraine occurs when blood vessels in the brain become temporarily constricted, causing blood flow and oxygen levels to drop. The brain then signals for more blood, leading to an over dilation of the blood vessels. When these vessels are dilated, they expand and cause a pounding pain or throbbing sensation.
"A misalignment in the cervical spine can impact the flow of blood and oxygen into the brain," said Dr. Michaux. "At the same time, a pinched nerve in the neck or whiplash injury can also lead to chronic pain and migraines. As a chiropractor, my job is to identify the underlying misalignment and correct this injury."
Dr. Michaux provides adjustments to restore alignment to the cervical spine. In addition to relieving headache or migraine pain, these alignments can also help reduce neck pain. Tightness in the neck as well as temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ) and stress can also contribute to headache pain. According to Dr. Michaux, many of his patients benefit from regular adjustments to help reduce stress and enhance overall well-being.
"Our goal is to not only relieve pain, but also to enhance overall health," said Dr. Michaux. "Regular adjustments have helped many of our patients take control of their health. Not only have these adjustments relieved their headache pain, but our patients also enjoy more energy and less stress in their daily lives."
