Natural Migraine Relief – Massage Therapy & NUCCA Upper Cervical Chiropractic

If you’re looking for the best chiropractor Portland has to offer for treatment of migraines and neck pain related issues, look no further than an article that explains exactly how to get the best relief possible from the combination of massage therapy and chiropractic care.

Massage Therapy and Chiropractic Care

Massage therapy and NUCCA chiropractic are two complementary therapies that can help individuals achieve natural migraine relief.

Massage therapy involves specific manipulation of the upper neck muscles and other soft tissues to alleviate pain, improve range of motion, and promote relaxation. There are many different types of massage therapy, including Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, and sports massage, each of which can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the individual.

NUCCA, on the other hand, stands for National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association, and it is a specialized form of chiropractic care that focuses on the gentle re-alignment of the Atlas vertebra located in the upper cervical spine.

NUCCA chiropractic is a unique form of chiropractic care that is based on the principle that the alignment of the upper cervical spine is essential for proper blood flow to the brain, as well as proper nervous system function. The upper cervical spine houses important arteries that supply the brain with blood as well as the brainstem. The brain stem controls many vital functions in the body, including breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. Misalignments in the upper cervical spine can cause compromise blood flow to the brain as well as overall brain stem function. It’s very common for migraine sufferers to have an atlas misalignment from injuries accumulated from sports, falls, and most commonly car crashes.

NUCCA chiropractors use gentle, precise adjustments to realign the atlas vertebrae and restore proper nervous system function. These adjustments are safe, painless, and effective, and they can provide long-lasting migraine relief.

If the atlas is misaligned it is imperative to re-align it as well as apply specific massage therapy to the upper neck muscles to ensure the best outcome with migraine headaches. When used together, massage therapy and NUCCA chiropractic can offer a long-term solution to migraines as well as provide a comprehensive approach to health and wellness.

If you are interested in massage therapy or NUCCA chiropractic, it is important to find a qualified practitioner who is experienced in both therapies. Look for a massage therapist who is qualified in myofascial release as well as a chiropractor who is certified in NUCCA chiropractic. It is also important to communicate your needs and goals to your practitioner so that they can develop a personalized treatment plan that meets your specific needs.

In conclusion, massage therapy in conjunction with NUCCA chiropractic are two incredible therapies that can provide safe natural migraine relief. NUCCA chiropractic can address the upper neck misalignment whereas massage therapy can help to restore the integrity of the upper neck muscles. Both can alleviate pain and promote relaxation, which can improve overall health and wellness.

Mason is awesome! I just had an amazing massage experience and loved it. He attentively addressed the tension spots in my body and worked through them. The massage table vibrates synced up to the meditative music which was sooo relaxing … More and helped me be super dropped into the moment. The weighted blanket and the warm scented towels were another highlight. Highly recommend. Thank you, Mason!

Wow! Walking into Immerse Modern Massage, my entire body immediately relaxed right at the front door. The aromatherapy is so intoxicating and soothing, and the ambiance is very nice. Walking into the treatment room was even better. They … More really did such a good job with the place! Not to mention the massage table! Omg, it felt so incredible to be sandwiched in between healing frequencies, warmth, and high vibrations. I can’t wait to go back!!! I was impressed to say the least.

Entering the space I immediately felt calm, the lighting and ambiance was perfect for relaxing. The warmth, low light and wooden ceiling made me feel like I was in a sauna. Mason greeted me and made me feel comfortable as we entered the … More massage room. The bed was heated, with weighted blanket and calming music vibrated the entire bed. I melted away as mason massaged my whole body, taking care to leave me mostly covered under the warm blanket the entire time. He also used heated towels and a wonderful essential oil blend. I felt truly relaxed and my whole body vibrated with warmth and comfort. Would definitely come back again!

Wow! My massage with Mason was healing on so many levels! He addressed the spots of tension and diligently worked to remind my muscles that it’s okay to relax. He was very attentive to my needs and comfort.
Immerse is definitely an appropriate … More name for this space as you are enveloped in delightfully warm infrared heat (through amethyst crystals!), the soothing sounds of a waterfall, and a sound bath of vibrations coming directly from the table!
The thoughtful intention put in to making Immerse Modern Massage the healing environment that is it is apparent and very much appreciated!

Such a lovely experience from beginning to end. The lobby was beautifully decorated with plants, and Mason greeted me with such warmth. The table vibrates with music and is so comfortable and warm. The weighted blankets helped me feel so … More cozy and relaxed. The technique and grounded presence Mason offers is excellent. I especially enjoyed the warm scented towel on my face and neck at the end of the massage. So rejuvenating and relaxing. I felt calm and peaceful. Wholeheartedly recommend!
