Hello everyone, this is Dr. Yvette Edwards here again with you. Now, I am in a quiet place, in a quiet room, and the reason I'm doing that is because I'm here to discuss with you migraine headaches. A lot of folks that have migraine headaches tend to need to be in a quiet place once these headaches kick in, especially if it's the type of headaches that actually cause you to have to be actually in a quiet, dark room or place. I'm here to tell you that a lot of times these migraines may be caused by things that are muscle-related, so they're coming out of the spine, and it may be coming out— a lot of folks when they're thinking migraine think it has to come out of the head. Some migraines actually come out from between the shoulders which would be right in through here. And the reason for that is because the muscles between the shoulders, some of the muscles between the shoulders, actually attach up into the head. So, what we do in this office is we're not going to guess about, oh, just because it's a headache, it has to come out of the head. We have to look into through the entire spine to see exactly what can be the cause for the problem. What we're going to also look at is something— it could be something, something as simple as something you're regularly eating that you're just not aware that your body is allergic to that could be causing the headaches. So don't sit there anymore. The medications haven't worked up to this point. You're missing a lot of work. Your family doesn't have the time it wants to have with you. You're not being yourself 100%. Because you can't. Be kind to yourself. Pick up the phone, call 864-288-2136, and let us find out what may be causing your problem. When we find out what we— what's causing the problem, we're gonna take our time and we're gonna clear it out so that you can live your best life possible.
