Whiplash and Your Migraines

If you’ve recently suffered from whiplash and have started experiencing migraines or other headaches, then you may have gone to your physician to try to find relief from the pain. They probably gave you some medication, but that medication won’t help restore your body’s communication system.

Now, let’s explore just what happened to your body, so you will have a better knowledge as to how that communication system can be restored. There is something in your body called Connective Tissue that is keeping your spine in place. When this tissue is torn, which can happen due to the force of whiplash, it causes the spine to begin to breakdown. The weight of the spine pulling on the upper two vertebrae can then cause a miscommunication between the brain and the body.

Connective tissue does more than just support the spine.

Functions of Connective Tissue

•       Stores Energy
•       Nutritional support of epithelium
•       Protects Organs
•       Connects body tissue
•       Connects epithelial tissue to muscle fibres
•       Supports your body’s framework
•       Supplies the body’s hormones
•       Repairs body tissue
•       Origin of body’s defense reactions

Connective Tissues and Your Spine

Now, the bad news is that a misalignment of only ¼ of a millimeter in the upper neck can hinder the brain’s ability to communicate with the body via the brainstem. That breakdown in communication can lead to a variety of conditions including migraines.

In order to determine if this is the underlying cause of your migraines you must have a thorough evaluation by a specialist in the upper cervical spine. They will do a thorough examination and three-dimensional x-rays to determine the severity of the misalignment in your upper neck and then correct  that misalignment with a precise, gentle and extremely effective procedure.
