A recent study done on animals suggests that migraines may have their origins deep within the brain. Researchers studied the effects in rats of two vasodilators – medications that cause the blood vessels to widen, increasing blood flow. They found when one of these vasodilators was given that it increased activity in an area in the center of the brain that mimicked the symptoms of a migraine.

Interestingly, this is a phenomenon that upper cervical chiropractors have been aware of for quite some time. The idea that the nervous system handles coordinating the function of the other systems of the body is fundamental to upper cervical chiropractic. These functions include both regulation of neurotransmitter production and release, as well as controlling blood vessel diameter. Dr. Bohemier’s focus is to restore normal function to the central nervous system by removing pressure on the brainstem caused by a very specific misalignment of the uppermost two bones in the neck.
In his Calgary upper cervical chiropractic clinic, Dr. Bohemier helps his migraine patients regain their quality of life. Migraines can be quite debilitating, and most relief options are aimed at merely relieving symptoms, but Dr. Bohemier’s solution addresses the root cause.
