When your vision fills with zigzags, flickers, or a growing blind spot, it can feel alarming. Dr. Marc Grossman describes visual migraines and the difference between ophthalmic visual migraines and retinal migraines. What is happening in the brain and retina? Why does blood flow matter? Which symptoms are an emergency?

For prevention, we share complementary approaches that support circulation and calm the nervous system: chiropractic or osteopathic care for neck and cranial tension, craniosacral therapy, and acupuncture patterns often linked to liver and kidney meridians.
