The Silent, Crippling Pain: Understanding Migraines—and How Chiropractic Care and Functional Medicine Can Help

Serving Farmington & Lakeville, Minnesota At iHeal Chiropractic and Functional Medicine, we help people reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine headaches with gentle chiropractic care plus a root-cause, functional medicine approach.

What Is a Migraine?

Everyone’s triggers are different. Common ones include:

Hormonal shifts (PMS, perimenopause, menopause)
Caffeine withdrawal or overuse
Foods (aged cheeses, processed meats), alcohol
Stress, poor sleep, skipped meals
Environmental inputs (bright light, strong odors, loud noise)

Pro tip: Keep a simple migraine diary (date, foods, sleep, stress, cycle phase) to spot patterns.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Chiropractic focuses on the spine–brain connection and the surrounding muscles and joints. For many, this can lessen headache frequency and intensity.

What we do:

Gentle spinal adjustments to improve joint motion and reduce neck/upper-back tension that can refer pain to the head.
Cervicogenic headache management when the neck Soft-tissue work & posture retraining for tight upper traps, suboccipitals, and jaw/temporal areas
TMJ & rib mechanics support when jaw or breathing mechanics add to the load.
Lifestyle coaching on sleep, hydration, and workstation ergonomics.

The Functional Medicine Layer (Root-Cause Work)

We pair chiropractic with targeted, whole-person care to reduce triggers:

Nutrition: Elimination trials for common triggers; stabilize blood sugar; increase magnesium-rich foods.
Key nutrients: Magnesium, riboflavin (B2), and CoQ10 are often part of a migraine plan when appropriate.
Hormones: Track cycle patterns; support perimenopause/menopause changes that can amplify migraines.
Gut & immune: Address sensitivities, histamine load, or post-infection changes when relevant
