Manhattan Chronic Headache Treatment

Chiropractic Solutions for Constant Migraines in NYC

Migraines and headache pain plague nearly all adults from time to time, though patients who suffer from chronic daily headaches and persistent migraines experience more debilitating and disruptive pain symptoms. Whether from tension headaches, migraines, or cluster headaches, head pain can prevent us from functioning successfully and happily in our professional and social lives.

As a leading spine specialist, Dr. Miro aids thousands of New Yorkers seeking headache and migraine relief. His board certification in athletic and manual rehabilitative techniques allows him to expertly integrate sports medicine, physical therapy, and chiropractic principals into successful and immediate headache treatment.

What Causes Migraines & Headache Pain?

Tension headaches and migraines are among the most common types of headache pain, Cluster headaches are similar in nature, though appear on and off in groups for a period of weeks or months.

Headaches can be caused by a variety of environmental factors, including stress, noise, lack of sleep, and blood sugar fluctuations. Systemically, headaches or migraines occur when a combination of vascular and nerve changes release chemicals triggering inflammation and pain.

Headache Relief & Migraine Treatment in NYC

While many physical changes occur during a headache or a migraine, often the origin of headache pain is tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. Headaches are among the most medicated conditions, though the pain relief provided by over-the-counter or prescription medication is temporary and does little to address the root of headache pain.

At Manhattan Sports Therapy, Dr. Miro specializes in identifying your specific headache triggers and isolating the exact soft tissues involved in your pain symptoms. Using conservative but effective care, he alleviates tissue tension in your spine, reduces irritation, and facilitates tissue healing. This solves the problem of chronic headaches long-term rather than simply addressing your pain symptoms.

Through the expert application of the Active Release Technique®, Dr. Miro delivers hands-on relief that is both therapeutic and corrective. Slow, directed movements address soft tissue restrictions to reduce inflammation and increase mobility. Similarly, the Graston Technique® and Cold Laser Light Therapy can be used to trigger tissue repair, improve circulation, and relieve pain.

The spine modifications and corrections he makes eliminate referred pain from the spine, neck, and shoulders and improve vascular flow, significantly minimizing future headache and migraine episodes.

Having performed surgery for decades my neck And back have been damaged. I can honestly say that Rachel has kept me functioning at a high level. Nobody else was. Despite being a surgical candidate which is refused to have she managed to overcome all of my problems. The office is also immaculately clean ( I am a germaphobe). Chiro in the past was hit or miss. Sometimes it helped and sometimes it actually made things worse. This has never happened with Rachel. I always feel better. Guaranteed. She will bend over backwards to accommodate my schedule. She is a rising star.

The entire staff is very helpful, kind, and extremely efficient. If it wasn't for Dr. Rolland Miro I strongly feel the bursitis in my shoulder would still be in major pain. If you have shoulder pain, rotator cuff issues, or bursitis don't hesitate, RUN to see this man! I came to Manhattan Sports Therapy skeptical because I had already visited two other physical therapist who were not getting me better. I had pain for 9 months until visiting MST. Miro was patient with my healing process and was always transparent when telling me what stages I was in my recovery. Now I am fully recovered back to pumping iron and putting on a backpack without pain. Thank you to everyone in that office for making my experience great from start to finish.

I was having severe inner hip and lower back pain for months. Every step I took was painful. I couldn't run, bike, swim or even attempt a workout. I started seeing a PT twice a week for a month and nothing happened, in fact, my pain increased. So, I decided to try another Physician and I found Manhattan Sports Therapy and Dr. Rolland Miro. After my first appointment, I knew I made the right choice. I started seeing Dr. Rolland twice a week. After my first week, I could already feel a HUGE difference. After week three, the pain in my hip was completely gone. It's now been two months and as I continue my treatment, I'm feeling better and better. I ran five miles for the first time in over a year last week! I highly highly recommend Dr. Rolland. He's the best at what he does and he's very knowledgable when it comes to health and fitness all around.
