To Understand Migraine it is important to see physiology from the proper vantage point. 

For all of the complexities of the human organism in truth our body does but one thing;

IT ADAPTS TO INERNAL AND EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENTS AND CONDITIONS.

Everything that occurs within us down to the cellular level is in adaptation to environment.

Our cellular functions adapt to intracellular conditions as they are programmed to.

Our blood vessels adapt to changes in temperature or bloodpressure.

Our digestive mechanisms adapt to the presence or abscence of material.

BUT

Some diseases are adaptations as well.

Sometimes the body experiences an exaggeration of a normal response to some stimuli.

Allergies are an exaggerated immune response to antigens.

Irritable Bowel Syndrom is an exaggerated respnse to stress.

Migraine: It is LESS about the "Trigger" or Catalyst and MORE about a LOW THRESHOLD.

Migraneurs have an extremely low threshold with regard to external and internal conditions.

There is a reason why the list of "Migraine Triggers" is so LONG.

The KEY is to RAISE the THRESHOLD and NOT to subdue the body's natural functions.

The BEST way we know of to INCREASE the threshold of response to endogenous and exogenous provocation is to keep;

THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM FREE FROM AFFERENTATION (Interference).

Afferentation is the equivalent of white noise.  Instead of preventing or distorting television or radio signals,

IT DISTORTS, EXAGGERATES AND INTERFERES WITH MESSAGES IN AND ALONG THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.

It is our position that the most important step toward treatment of Migraine is evaluation for:

Nervous System Interference.

The Care We Provide is Simply The Removal of The Greatest and Most Common Type of Nervous System Interference We Know of;  The Upper Cervical Subluxation.
