Migraine Treatment in Lansing, MI

Natural Relief from Chronic Headaches

Living with Migraines: More Than Just a Headache

If you’ve experienced a migraine, you know it’s not just a bad headache; it’s a neurological event that can interfere with your work, relationships, and quality of life. Migraines often strike without warning and may last for hours or even days, leaving you exhausted and frustrated. Unfortunately, many conventional treatments focus only on symptom relief, often with side effects of their own.

At Rassel-Daigneault Holistic Health Center in Lansing, MI, we take a different approach. We focus on identifying and correcting the underlying causes of migraines using drug-free, neurologically-informed chiropractic care that helps your body function the way it’s meant to.

What Causes Migraines?

Migraines are complex, and their exact cause can vary from person to person. They are typically rooted in neurological, vascular, or musculoskeletal dysfunction, often triggered by lifestyle or environmental factors. Structural imbalances in the spine, especially in the neck, can disrupt nerve flow and blood supply to the brain, contributing to both the frequency and severity of migraines.

Common triggers and underlying contributors may include:

• Cervical spine misalignment (especially at the atlas and axis vertebrae)
• Chronic stress or nervous system dysregulation
• Hormonal changes or imbalances
• Food sensitivities, dehydration, or skipped meals
• Sleep disturbances or inconsistent routines
• Postural strain, especially from prolonged screen time
• Environmental sensitivities (light, noise, smells)

Rather than masking these triggers with medication, we aim to resolve the structural and functional imbalances behind them.

What Do Migraines Feel Like?

Every patient experiences migraines differently. For some, the pain is throbbing and one-sided. For others, it’s accompanied by nausea, dizziness, or sensitivity to light and sound. Recognizing your symptom pattern is a key step in identifying the cause.

Migraines often include:

• Intense, pulsing, or throbbing pain
• Pain on one or both sides of the head
• Nausea or vomiting
• Sensitivity to light, sound, or smell
• Visual disturbances or auras
• Fatigue and irritability, before or after the headache
• Stiffness or discomfort in the neck and shoulders

Many people also experience warning signs before a migraine hits, like mood changes, neck stiffness, or visual flashes.

How Chiropractic Care Helps with Migraines

At our clinic, we address migraines by focusing on the nervous system’s connection to spinal structure and brain function. One of the most overlooked contributors to migraine pain is cervical spine misalignment, particularly at the upper neck. When these joints are restricted or misaligned, they can impair blood flow, irritate nerves, and create the perfect environment for a migraine to begin.

We use gentle, customized chiropractic techniques to help:

• Realign the cervical spine and reduce pressure on sensitive nerves
• Restore healthy posture through Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP)
• Balance the nervous system to improve stress response and brain-body communication
• Release muscle tension in the neck and upper back
• Address postural triggers, such as forward head carriage from desk work
• Support long-term prevention through lifestyle, sleep, and nutrition coaching

Many patients experience fewer and less intense migraines within just a few weeks of starting care.

What to Expect During Your Evaluation

We begin every case by listening closely to your health history and migraine patterns. Your first visit includes:

• A thorough health and neurological evaluation
• Postural analysis to assess head and neck alignment
• Palpation and movement tests for joint and muscle function
• Cervical spine X-rays (if necessary) to identify misalignment
• Discussion of lifestyle, stress levels, and possible triggers

From there, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan that supports both short-term relief and long-term results.
