Headaches and migraines can be debilitating, affecting your daily life and overall well-being. At BackFit Health + Spine, we specialize in providing effective relief for headaches and migraines through various treatments, including chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, and the MiRx® Headache Protocol. Our holistic approach targets both the immediate pain and the underlying causes to help you achieve long-term relief.

Understanding Headaches and Migraines

Headaches and migraines are not just minor annoyances; they can significantly impact your quality of life. Migraines, in particular, can cause severe pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound. Understanding the types and triggers of these conditions is crucial for effective treatment.

Causes of Headaches and Migraines

Several factors can contribute to headaches and migraines, including:

• Stress and Tension: High stress levels and muscle tension in the neck and shoulders can lead to tension headaches.
• Poor Posture: Misalignment of the spine and poor posture can contribute to chronic headaches.
• Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormones, especially in women, can trigger migraines.
• Dietary Triggers: Certain foods and beverages, such as caffeine, alcohol, and processed foods, can provoke headaches.
• Environmental Factors: Bright lights, strong smells, and loud noises can trigger migraines.

Treatment Options at BackFit Health + Spine

At BackFit Health + Spine, we offer a comprehensive approach to treating headaches and migraines. Our treatments include:

Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractic care focuses on spinal alignment and relieving tension in the neck and shoulders. Adjustments can help reduce the frequency and severity of headaches and migraines by addressing misalignments and improving overall spinal health.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy helps relax tense muscles and improve circulation, which can alleviate headache pain. Our skilled therapists use techniques tailored to your needs to provide relief from tension headaches and migraines.

The MiRx® Headache Protocol

The MiRx® Protocol is a cutting-edge treatment program designed to provide fast and long-lasting relief for headaches and migraines. This FDA-approved protocol consists of two components:

1. Medical Component: A spray of local anesthetic, usually lidocaine, is applied to the Sphenopalatine Ganglion (SPG) nerve cluster in the nasal cavity using the TX360® applicator. This non-invasive nasal spray provides rapid pain relief.
2. Physical Component: This involves physical therapy, ergonomic and lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and addressing chemical imbalances. Treatments may include weight loss options, cranial sacral therapy, myofascial release, chiropractic adjustments, and massage therapy.

How the MiRx® Protocol Works

The MiRx® Protocol targets the SPG nerve cluster, known to control facial and head pain. The protocol is effective for various types of headaches and migraines, including:

• Classic Migraines (with auras)
• Common Migraines (without auras)
• Hormonal Deviation Migraines
• Hemiplegic Migraines
• Ophthalmoplegic Migraines
• Retinal Migraines
• Status Migrainosus
• Tension Headaches
• Cluster Headaches
• Trigeminal Neuralgia
• Atypical Face Pain
• Cervicogenic Headaches

Most patients experience pain relief within seconds of the nasal spray application. For long-term relief, we recommend a treatment cycle of two applications per week for 4 to 6 weeks, combined with personalized physical therapy and lifestyle adjustments.
