Headaches and Migraines, Could they be caused by gluten?

We see many chronic headache and migraine sufferers come into our clinic, you can read about our different type of headaches in our other blogs, tension headaches, headaches research and migraines 

Recent research into associations with gluten sensitivity and chronic headaches found:
- People with chronic headaches , 1 in 2 had gluten sensitivity.
- Nearly 1 in 3 chronic headache sufferers were celiac. 
- 1 in 5 migraine sufferers had celiac disease. 

A reason could be the fact that MRI scans show that there is often profound changes in the white matter in the brain of headache sufferers with gluten sensitivity. 

Did you know waist circumference is a better predictor of migraine activity than general obesity 

Woman with excess body fat around their belly are 30% more likely to suffer from migraines than woman without excess belly fat. 

Another study in children found that kids who where 40% more likely to suffer from headaches

Our brain only accounts for 2.5% of our body weight, but consumes 22% of our body's energy expenditure, so make sure you look after your health and feed your body with good fats and limit carbohydrates.

Based on 21 research articles here are some of the recommendations: 

For Migraine:
- Spinal Manipulation is recommended for aptistn with episodic or chronic migraine with or without aura(Visual symptoms)
- Weekly massage is recommended with reducing episodic migraine. 
- There is insufficient data to say yes or no to exercise alone for the treatment of migraines. 

For Tension Type Headaches. 
- For patients with over 6 months of symptoms, Chiropractic adjustments to the spine are effective. 
- The treatment cycle is usually 2 times a week for 6 weeks for a reduction of symptoms. 

Cervicogenic Headache
- Based on a treatment regime of 2 times a week for 3 weeks, chiropractic adjustments are effective. 
- Deep flexor muscles in the neck also need to be exercises, based on doing the exercise twice a day for 6 weeks.

Migraine and How Chiropractic Can Help

What is a Migraine?

More likely in my female patients, usually there is pain on one side of the head and is more like a throbbing headache. 

Before the headache, there is usually a blind spot (scotoma) surrounded by flashing lights (scintillation). Patients unfortunately usually have this for around half an hour and then a headache occurs that can last for several days. 

You may find relief in a dark, quiet environment and there can be some nausea with vomiting during the migraine episode. 

What is the cause?

This unfortunately is not a simple answer as the most common belief of being vascular in origin, only accounts for around 1 in 10 of patients. 

Other causes are:
- Vascular inflammation that irritates nerves ( meningeal nerve fibres) 
- lowering of the pain threshold occurs which means normal stimuli may cause pain. 
- Corticol depression occurs which leads to decreased cerebral blood flow that can last for several hours 
- Upper spinal nerves have misinterpretation of the pain due to a trigeminal afferent input. This is what can lead to the headache.

How Health Wise Chiropractic Can Help 

We have multiple treatment offers at our office. Chiropractic Adjustments, Dry needling, massage all have research supporting the benefits. 

Nutritional support can include Calcium, Vitamin D, Omega 3 fatty acids as well as magnesium before menses may prevent some woman menstrual migraines. 

You may also want to talk to your G.P about some medications that can help.
