What are the 3 types of Migraines?

There are several types of migraines, each with unique symptoms and characteristics. However, here are three of the most common types:

Migraine with aura: Also called classic migraine, this type of migraine is characterized by a warning sign, called an aura, that occurs before the headache. Auras can include visual disturbances such as flashing lights, blind spots, or zigzag lines, as well as tingling or numbness in the face or hands. The headache typically follows the aura within 60 minutes and can last up to 72 hours.

Migraine without aura: This is the most common type of migraine, also called common migraine. It is characterized by a severe headache, typically on one side of the head, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. There are no auras or warning signs with this type of migraine.

Chronic migraine: This type of migraine is defined as a migraine headache that occurs on 15 or more days per month for at least 3 months and in which headaches with migraine characteristics occur for 8 or more days per month. People with chronic migraine may experience symptoms that differ from episodic migraine and need different treatment approaches.

It is important to note that these are not the only types of migraines; a person can have migraines with different or multiple types simultaneously. Additionally, there are other subtypes, such as Vestibular migraines, Hemiplegic migraines, Retinal migraines, and more.

Sitting on the job? Make time to stretch! Stretching can do much more than feel good and improve your flexibility – it can also improve your posture. You probably stretch countless times a day without even realizing it. Stretching is the body’s way of subconsciously easing discomfort and tension while increasing blood flow. Fortunately, there are ways to stretch strategically to improve things that need improving – especially your  poor posture . What Is Poor Posture? Does it feel like you’re always slouching or hunching? Is your back starting to arch without you even trying? Your posture may need some improvement. “Posture” refers to the position in which a person holds their body while standing or sitting. “Poor posture” is posture that results when certain muscle groups do more work than they were designed for, without a person realizing it. These muscles become strained, so they tighten or shorten up. When this happens, some muscles get overused, and some muscles get underused,...

Common Ailments Associated with Prolonged Desk Sitting   Prolonged periods of sitting have been linked to a range of health issues, including an increased risk of heart failure, even among individuals who engage in regular exercise, as reported in the American Heart Association Journal. This sedentary lifestyle is so concerning that some experts have dubbed sitting "the new smoking."   As Victoria Chiropractor Dr. Stephanie Louie points out, our bodies are designed for continual motion. However, many of her patients find themselves sitting at desks for extended periods, leading to a variety of health problems, from back pain to tingling in the hands and sore necks.   Dr. Louie explains that sitting places excessive pressure on the spine compared to lying down, while standing and walking are less taxing on the back.   The act of desk work often encourages individuals to crane their necks forward to better view computer screens.

Chiropractors may also use other techniques such as mobilization, manual therapy, soft tissue work, and physical therapy exercises to help alleviate sciatic pain.
