Migraines are very common these days. Almost everyone you talk to
has at least had one migraine and many people are plagued by them
multiple times a month. Despite how common they are, there is not
much
known about the specific cause. In fact there are so many
theories that it is hard to know what to believe. The one thing
that a migraine sufferer can be sure of is that the pain is real and that
it changes your life.
The problem with pinpointing the cause of a
migraine is that they can come from so many different places.
Some causes of migraines are tightness in the tissues surrounding the
brain and spinal cord, stress, trauma, poor spinal alignment, and poor
posture. Another cause of migraines that most people find
surprising is from poorly aligned or immobile cranial bones. Ever
since junior high or high school, we have been taught that the cranial
bones are fused together and are immobile after a certain age. This is not
true. The cranial bones are actually an integral part of the
cranial-sacral system that uses a very slight pumping motion to pump
spinal fluid up and down the spinal column. If the cranial bones
become restricted, this can cause excess pressure in the cranium which
will also lead to a migraine.
The good news is that despite all of the many
possible causes of migraines, myofascial release can help most if
not all of them. Myofascial release can remove the restrictions
that inhibit the inherent motion of the cranial bones. It can
also restore mobility to areas of high tension and stress and return
people to proper posture and function. Many people have found
