Migraines can be debilitating, affecting daily life and productivity. At Injury Doctors NYC, we specialize in diagnosing and treating migraines caused by various underlying factors. Understanding the root cause of your migraines is the first step toward effective treatment and relief. Below are some of the most common causes of migraines:
1. Traumatic Injuries
Head injuries, concussions, and whiplash can trigger chronic migraines. Patients who have experienced falls, car accidents, or sports-related injuries may develop persistent headaches due to nerve damage or misalignment in the cervical spine.
2. Neck and Spine Issues
Misalignment in the cervical spine, muscle tension, or pinched nerves can contribute to migraine headaches. Poor posture, prolonged screen time, or previous injuries may exacerbate these issues, leading to chronic migraines.
3. Stress and Tension
High levels of stress can lead to tension headaches, which may develop into migraines. Muscle stiffness, particularly in the neck and shoulders, can create pressure that results in severe headache episodes.
4. Vascular Issues
Changes in blood flow to the brain, including constriction or dilation of blood vessels, are a well-known cause of migraines. Patients with circulatory issues may experience frequent, severe headaches.
5. Neurological Disorders
Underlying neurological conditions such as epilepsy, nerve inflammation, or central nervous system disorders can contribute to migraines. Our specialists conduct thorough evaluations to rule out any serious neurological concerns.
6. Hormonal Changes
Fluctuations in hormone levels, particularly in women, can trigger migraines. Factors such as pregnancy, menopause, or hormone therapy may be contributing to chronic headaches.
7. Food and Environmental Triggers
Certain foods, caffeine, alcohol, and exposure to strong smells or bright lights can lead to migraine attacks. Identifying and eliminating triggers from your lifestyle can significantly reduce migraine frequency.
8. Medication Overuse
Overuse of pain relievers, caffeine-based drugs, or other medications can lead to rebound headaches, worsening migraine symptoms over time.
