Causes of Migraine Headaches
Migraine headaches can come out of nowhere. One of the causes of migraine headaches is the blood flow to the brain. Migraine headaches can come from years of neglect of your neck that over time leads to irritated nerves that control the blood supply to your head.

Exercises for Migraine Headaches
After receiving adjustments to help gently realign the spine to take pressure off the nerves and allow the blood flow to occur correctly you then need neck exercises to help stabilize and hold the spine in its new position. There are typically four neck exercises that can be done.
The four exercises are flexion, extension, left lateral, and right lateral bending. These exercises are either done at home or in a rehabilitation setting in the clinic depending on the specific condition of the neck. If you do not strengthen the muscles in your neck the spine can return to its old position and the migraine headaches can return.
