The thing about chronic migraines? They can strike at any given time, and once they start, there’s little you can do to stop them in their tracks. With how debilitating they can be, it’s something you truly wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy.
If you happen to be one of the unlucky individuals who suffers from this recurring type of headache, you know the unfortunate reality they bring: pain, difficulty focusing, aggravation, the whole nine yards. Yet, you’ve probably tried every recommended solution in the book, from drinking more water to getting enough sleep each night.
The good news? Recovery Lab of Rancho Cucamonga may have a workable solution for you in the form of red light therapy.
Causes of Chronic Migraines
Just about everyone has dealt with a migraine headache at some point in their lives. However, chronic migraines are a different battle.
With the complexity surrounding headaches in general and considering there are multiple types of migraines in existence, there’s no single cause of chronic migraines.
Recurring migraines may can be due to (or a combination of):
- Genetics
- Poor hydration
- Vitamin deficiencies
- Excess stress or anxiety
- Hormone changes/imbalances
- Environmental triggers
- Sensitive nervous system
- Inadequate sleep
- Neck or shoulder tension
- Certain medications
Tackling Migraines with Red Light Therapy
If you’re ready to loosen your grip on chronic migraines and aiming for as much relief as possible, red light therapy should be on your radar.
As an all-natural, non-invasive wellness service, red light therapy can gently work to reduce migraines and migraine severity on a chemical level.
For instance, red light has the potential to boost the production of cellular energy to support a calmer nervous system. It can also reduce inflammation and tackle oxidative stress.
By relaxing nervous system functioning, red light therapy can indirectly support better stress reduction, sleep, and relaxation. As a result of the latter, this can lessen the odds and intensity of migraine attacks.
How Does Red Light Therapy Work?
So, how does red light therapy work, you might ask?
Using certain wavelengths of light capable of penetrating the skin, red light therapy can help stimulate the body’s cells, energizing them and helping them work more efficiently.
With invigorated cells, this can help support many of the body’s innate processes, such as repair and recovery.
Other Red Light Therapy Benefits
Besides having the potential to relieve migraines, red light therapy has a handful of other benefits as well.
While red light therapy is commonly used for supporting skin health and appearance, this wellness service can offer many other solutions in the area(s) it’s targeting:
- Faster muscle recovery
- Relaxation of tense muscles
- Improved energy levels
- Reduced inflammation
- Enhanced blood circulation
- Calmer nervous system
- Better mood
- Improved mental clarity
