Understanding Retinal Migraines

Retinal migraines are characterized by visual disturbances, such as temporary blindness or visual field loss, often accompanied by severe headaches. These episodes can be alarming and may disrupt daily activities. Understanding the triggers and symptoms of retinal migraines is crucial for effective management.

Common Symptoms of Retinal Migraines

  • Temporary vision loss in one eye
  • Flashing lights or zigzag patterns in vision
  • Severe headaches, typically on one side of the head
  • Nausea and sensitivity to light
  • Difficulty concentrating

How Upper Cervical Chiropractic Can Help

Upper cervical chiropractic care focuses on the alignment of the upper cervical spine, particularly the atlas and axis vertebrae. Misalignments in these areas can lead to nerve interference, which may trigger migraine episodes. By restoring proper alignment, we aim to reduce the frequency and severity of retinal migraines.

The Chiropractic Process

At Wave Upper Cervical Chiropractic, we utilize advanced diagnostic techniques to assess your spinal alignment:

  • Comprehensive Evaluation: We conduct a thorough assessment of your posture, spinal alignment, and neurological function.
  • Gentle Adjustments: Our non-invasive techniques focus on correcting misalignments in the upper cervical spine.
  • Personalized Care Plans: We develop tailored treatment plans based on your specific symptoms and health goals.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Retinal Migraines

  • Reduction in the frequency of migraine attacks
  • Improved visual stability and clarity
  • Enhanced overall well-being
  • Decreased reliance on medication

Real Reviews by Patients from the Tampa Bay Area

After just two adjustments, I definitely see an improvement! I haven’t had a headache
Dr. Ryan and Katie are the sweetest people ever!! I have recently started coming to WAVE after years of suffering from migraines and tension headaches. I would have migraines and tension headaches that would last for days with no help from medications. After just two adjustments, I definitely see an improvement! I haven’t had a headache or the urge to crack my neck (which I did couple times a day). Dr. Ryan takes his time to thoroughly explain the process of the appointment step by step and what to expect after your adjustment. I highly recommend coming to WAVE and seeing Dr. Ryan!

Helped me tremendously with a 20+ year vestibular problem that every other doctor or treatment basically shrugged their shoulders at
Dr. Ryan and Dr. Katie help me tremendously with a 20+ year vestibular problem that every other Doctor or treatment basically shrugged their shoulders at and told me "everything looked fine". It is comforting also that Dr. Ryan himself went through a similar issue so he understands the frustration of what I was going through. If you're tired of searching for anything to help, please give this a try!!! Also great family vibe in the office with Bernie (their dog). I would give 10 stars if I could!
