  • (1888PressRelease) July 14, 2011 - Dr. David Schiller is a chiropractor who uses a holistic approach in treating patient maladies. He has been having great success in treating those who suffer from migraine headaches. Migraines are debilitating headaches that can last for days, causing people to take to bed and convalesce until the pain has abated. Traditionally, these headaches have been extremely difficult to combat, resisting some of the strongest pain relievers available.

    "My approach," notes Dr. Schiller, "is based on opening the body's pathways of communication through manipulation of specific areas of the body related to the vertebrae. In most cases, significant improvement is accomplished through manipulation of the upper two cervical vertebrae, coupled with adjustments to the junction between the cervical and thoracic spine." Schiller adds, "One thing that is very important with migraines is that lifestyle and food triggers also be avoided."

    Regular headaches are a common occurrence as 99% of the population will experience this pain with migraines happening in about 17% of the world's population. A majority of migraines, 60%, are one-sided. About 85% are pulsing or throbbing and 62% of those that are untreated last longer than 24 hours. Nausea is felt by 80% of the sufferers and approximately 80% have an extreme sensitivity to sound and light when they have a migraine.

    "Triggers," says Schiller, "are the key in prevention. Some triggers can be controlled such as missing a meal, the consumption of alcohol, stress and various types of foods. There are strong connections between irritation to the digestive tract and head pain. The same neurological pathways are involved." Schiller adds, "There are triggers, such as changes in weather, which cannot be controlled. But whatever the case may be, once a migraine starts the sooner a patient can undergo therapy the better. Chiropractic treatment can get someone back to enjoying life very quickly."

    With his natural approach to pain relief, Dr. Schiller eschews headache drugs. Studies have shown that chiropractic care for headaches can be beneficial for four full weeks after treatment, while drugs wear off immediately.

    Dr. Schiller is a Fellow of the International Academy of Medical Acupuncture and utilizes many forms of acupoint stimulation and is currently enrolled in both the Fellowship Program in Functional Neurology as well as the Diplomate Program in Chiropractic Neurology offered by the Carrick Institute of Graduate Studies.
