Migraine Relief

Everyone has a headache now and then but, if you suffer from migraines you know it’s a different syndrome altogether. Migraine attacks can last hours, sometimes days. Those that suffer from recurring migraines are often unable to do ordinary things and can miss out on a lot in life.

If you are looking for migraine relief in NYC, then Dr. Steven Schram, a chiropractor and an acupuncturist, is for you.

An experienced practitioner who has treated and helped many migraine patients, Dr. Schram will work to find and treat the root cause of your debilitating headaches. He can help you live free of symptoms such as visual disturbances, dizziness, nausea, eye sensitivity to light and, of course, throbbing pain. Rather than seek temporary relief using pain relievers, let Dr. Schram discover the cause of the pain and work to alleviate it.

Dr. Schram’s approach to migraine relief is to search for the root of the syndrome which can often be traced to misalignments in the vertebrae of the spinal column, or in the cranial suture system in the skull. There may be acupuncture meridian imbalances as well. When there are imbalances or misalignments in any of these areas, they can put undue pressure on the nerves that run to and from the brain. These misalignments can also limit range of motion so is is not unusual to find neck and migraine pain occurring together.

Migraine diagnosis can be tricky with symptoms that can be hard to evaluate if they differ from attack to attack. Relying on both motion and static palpation, Dr. Schram will search for areas of misalignment, tenderness and tightness. Because he is highly skilled in spinal manipulation and Cranial Sacral Therapy, he can properly adjust out of place vertebrae; increasing ranges of motion, alleviating the stress on the joints and helping surrounding muscles relax into their proper position. With either gentle and specific manipulation or light fingertip pressure on the cranial sutures he works to restore proper spinal and cranial motions, often providing profound relief. You can actually feel relief as spinal misalignments release and cranial sutures come into balance.

With a unique combination of degrees and skills, Dr. Schram provides a multi-disciplinary approach to solving your migraine ailments. He is a licensed chiropractor, a licensed acupuncturist and specially trained in Cranial Sacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation. Help the body heal itself, with chiropractic and acupuncture care from Dr. Schram.
