According to the National Migraine Association (NMA), migraine disease is a neurological condition that affects 30 million Americans. Many people suffering from migraine headaches are unable to function without medication. They have also tried many different types of treatments and multiple visits to the doctor to find relief.
Let’s start
Please continue reading if you have not found any relief. Are You Tired of Searching? Migraines can be classified as a vascular headache. The pre-headache phase is when blood vessels constrict. When vascular dilation occurs, the headache starts. This phase can be accompanied by mood changes, energy level changes, and fatigue.
There are many types of migraines. Most migraines are accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light. With or without aura, migraines are the most common type of migraine. Auras can be interpreted as a premonition of a headache.
What are Auras?
Auras that are associated with migraines can cause blurred vision or flashing lights. They may also experience confusion and numbness in their extremities and face. To get relief, you must address the root cause. The majority of healthcare professionals only treat the symptoms of the headache. This will only temporarily relieve the pain.
For migraine sufferers, Craniosacral Therapy can be an effective treatment. The Craniosacral system consists of your skull, sacrum, and membranes. These membranes attach to bones and surround the brain, spinal cord, and other vital organs. The cerebrospinal fluid flows within these membranes.
This fluid serves three purposes: protect the brain from injury, provide nutrients to the central nervous systems, and remove waste products from both the brain, spinal cord, and brain. It helps to detoxify the nervous system. The brain and the spinal cord are the components of our central nervous system. They are responsible for all systems in our body.
Take note
What does this all mean? This means that any restriction in the craniosacral process can have a significant effect on your central nervous system functioning and overall health. Falling on your tail bone is an example. It can cause lower back pain and over time can have adverse effects on the head end the craniosacral. Many people who fall often have chronic headaches and chronic pain in other areas of their bodies.
How can Craniosacral therapy help with my headaches? Craniosacral therapy helps to release tensions and restrictions in these membranes that attach inside the skull and spinal cord. It relieves pressure from the central nervous system and allows cerebrospinal fluid to flow freely. The goal is to restore balance and correct any dysfunction in the craniosacral systems.
Prevention
It is possible to relieve and prevent migraines and headaches by removing any restrictions in the meninges (spinal chord membranes). Research has shown that the brain’s only pain-sensitive tissues are the meningeal membranes (connective tissue), and fascia (fibril). These restrictions can put pressure on blood vessels, causing significant pressure.
Conclusion
The pressure from the surrounding fascia on the brain can cause sensory neurons to send messages to the higher brain centers. This can lead to migraine pain. Myofascial release may be used in conjunction with CranioSacral therapy to treat migraines and headaches. This manual technique releases connective tissue known as fascia. Fascia, a tough connective tissue, surrounds and attaches every cell in the body. This fascia surrounds the brain and spinal cord. This fascia can become restricted and tighten, which can lead to migraines and headaches.
