Types of Migraines

Migraines is a term that covers a variety of conditions that involve overwhelming head pain. People can suffer from more than just one type of migraine. Fortunately, you can find relief from migraines with help from our chiropractor at Lone Tree Chiropractic in Lone Tree, CO. Let’s take a look at some of the various types of migraines that we treat.

Migraine Without Aura or Common Migraine

This is the most common type of migraine that you can suffer. The pain is usually on one side of the head. It can be so bad that it makes you nauseous. The pain usually lessens when you lie down. You may suffer other symptoms, such as being extremely sensitive to light, sounds, smells, and sometimes tastes.

Migraine With Aura or Classic Migraine

With this type of migraine, you suffer all of the symptoms of a common migraine, but with a bonus. An hour or so before the painful symptoms start, you start to see strange things. Things might look underwater, or there are flashing lights, bright zigzags, or halos of light. These distortions are called auras. Some people do not see auras, but experience other problems like not being able to speak clearly.

Vestibular Migraine

This is an extremely debilitating migraine that, in addition to common migraine symptoms, also makes you dizzy or makes you feel as if the world is spinning. You can have a vestibular migraine without having a headache.

Menstrual Migraine

If you always get a migraine right before or during your period, then chances are you suffer from menstrual migraines.

Hemiplegic Migraine

This type of migraine includes many common migraine symptoms, but may also include auras, as well as speech difficulties, confusion, and temporary hearing problems. One side of the body becomes very weak.

Chronic Migraine

If you suffer from any type of migraine for 15 days out of the month or more, you have chronic migraine.
