Migraines are not just headaches — they are intense, often disabling attacks that can last for hours or days. People in Mandarin and Jacksonville who experience migraines know how life-altering they can be. Common symptoms include pounding head pain, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound.
​
Migraines can be triggered by stress, hormonal changes, food sensitivities, lack of sleep, or spinal misalignments that affect nerve and blood flow. Many migraine sufferers rely on medication for relief, but that often only manages symptoms without addressing the root cause.
How Dr. O Can Help Migraine Sufferers
Dr. O focuses on improving spinal alignment, especially in the neck, where tension and misalignments can contribute to migraines. Gentle chiropractic adjustments can help restore normal nerve function and improve blood flow to the head. Over time, many patients experience fewer and less severe migraines.
She also works with patients to identify lifestyle factors that may be triggering their migraines, offering guidance that goes beyond the adjustment table.
