Helping You Deal with Your Headaches

According to the Migraine Research Foundation, 12% of American adults and children suffer from migraines. Many people think of a migraine as a severe headache. However, a migraine is a neurological disease. Dr. Gina Beech is a board-certified chiropractor practicing at Bethesda Back Center, located in Bethesda, MD. She can help with migraines and other headaches.

Symptoms of Migraines

Symptoms differ depending on the type of migraine. Different migraine subtypes include: 

  • Complicated migraine: Also known as migraine with aura. Symptoms include tingling or numbness on one side of the body, seeing black dots, zigzags or lines, and the inability to speak properly. It typically lasts between 10 and 30 minutes.
  • Common migraine: Also known as migraine without an aura. Symptoms include a throbbing on one side of the head. Its onset is sudden.
  • Silent migraine: Symptoms include visual disturbances and nausea without headache.
  • Hemiplegic migraine: Symptoms include weakness on one side of the body often accompanied by visual disturbances and a tingling sensation. This type of migraine does not always cause a headache.
  • Retinal migraine: This type of migraine causes loss of vision in one eye. It can last from one minute to several months.
  • Chronic migraine: A headache that lasts for more than 15 days each month is considered to be a chronic migraine.
  • Cluster headaches: Symptoms include a burning sensation around the eyes and at the temples, swollen eyes, and a runny nose.

Chiropractic Care for Migraine

Chiropractic care offers a natural, non-invasive solution for migraine, which is why many Bethesda residents visit Dr. Beech for help managing their pain. Because chiropractic adjustments realign the spine and reduce joint restrictions, they can help relieve tension and improve blood flow to the brain. They also improve the functions of the nervous system, which makes it easier for your body to manage the pain of migraines.

What Our Clients Say About Us

  • "This was written on a yelp review of Dr. Beech. "This review of Dr. Gina Beech comes very easy to write. She is ot just a talented chiropractor, but she is also caring and generous with her patients. Her practice is pleasantly informal. It is a community. Everyone is friendly and dedicated to helping patients.
    I am a veterinary chiropractor and Dr. Beech's approach to patient care is similar to mine. I appreciate her combination of modalities: e-stim, ultrasound, and osseous adjustments. When needed, she will also recommend nutraceuticals such as Standard Process supplements.
    My work is often very physical and Dr. Beech keeps me running well. I am now seeing her almost weekly for my tune-ups. I find her care necessary and invaluable. I always feel great after treatment."

  • "Dr. Beech runs a great practice. She and her staff are accommodating and personable, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for patients. I've had a wonderful experience going here. Dr. Beech provides excellent, effective treatment and I feel like I am in good hands when undergoing therapy for my neck/upper back injury. Moreover, there is little to no waiting time to go in to see the doctor when coming in to the office for an appointment, which is nice. Most importantly, I know I am receiving the right care and course of treatment needed to heal. I highly recommend Bethesda Back Center."

  • "I have been going to Dr. Beech for about eight years. When you enter her office, you are treated as if you are a friend entering her home. The atmosphere is friendly and laid back. Sometimes she personally answers phone call and e-mails. I have never experienced that with any other doctor. She spends as much time as she considers necessary with her patients. unlike many doctors who seem to be in a rush to see their next patient."
