THE AGONY OF MIGRAINES YIELDS TO GENTLE CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Migraine sufferers know how miserable life can be when experiencing
this type of headache. And because these headaches can be so hard to
handle, the pharmaceutical industry presents us with stronger and
stronger medications to help manage the pain. Now, fortunately,
chiropractic adjustments have shown effectiveness in improving
pain and reducing reliance on drugs, as reported in a recent
study.
In the study, 127 migraine sufferers were treated with either Chiropractic or a non-Chiropractic placebo treatment. Subjects in the manipulation group demonstrated statistically significant improvement in migraine frequency, headache duration, disability and medication use. Twenty-two percent of the study participants reported more than a 90% reduction in migraines after two
months of spinal manipulative therapy, with approximately 50% more participants reporting significant improvement in severity of migraine episodes.
