What You Need to Know About Silent Migraines
Silent migraines may not cause the typical throbbing pain of a headache, but they are no less real—or disruptive. Unlike classic migraines, these specific type of migraines often come with visual disturbances, vertigo, or sensory symptoms but no pain. Unfortunately, because they are less common and more misunderstood, many people suffer in silence without knowing what’s happening to their bodies.
As your trusted Boiling Springs chiropractor, Upper Cervical Chiropractic of Spartanburg wants to help you better understand this condition. That’s why we’ve compiled 7 shocking facts about silent migraines and how upper cervical care may offer natural relief.
Silent migraines, also called acephalgic migraines, can affect your vision, balance, hearing, and even speech—without any headache at all. This makes them difficult to diagnose and even harder to treat using traditional methods.
Silent migraines don’t always come with pain, but they’re still a neurological condition that needs attention.
They occur in phases, including auras and after-effects, even without the pain phase.
Symptoms like vertigo, dizziness, speech issues, and numbness can be debilitating.
They may be related to reduced blood flow to the brain, affecting the cerebral cortex.
Treatments often include off-label medications like anti-seizure drugs.
Triggers are similar to typical migraines—stress, poor sleep, food, hormones, and posture.
Natural relief is possible by improving alignment in the cervical spine through upper cervical chiropractic care.
A history of head or neck trauma is common in migraine patients, including those with silent migraines. Misalignments in the upper cervical spine can disrupt communication between the brain and body, potentially contributing to neurological symptoms.
Upper cervical chiropractic care focuses on correcting these misalignments gently and precisely. When proper alignment is restored, blood and nerve flow improve—helping the body heal naturally from within.
