Chiropractic Helps Migraines

Chiropractic Relieves Migraine in Sayville, Long Island, NY

With the Migraine Research Foundation reporting that migraines affect 38 million adults and children in the United States (more than diabetes and asthma put together), it's not surprising that Precision Chiropractic sees a lot of headache sufferers in our Sayville, Long Island, NY office. Eventhough some people choose to relieve migraine pain with drugs, chiropractic care is a fantastic, all-natural alternative that usually produces positive results.

Research Supports Chiropractic Adjustments Helps With Migraines

For example, one report published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics involved 127 people ranging in age from 10 to 70-years-old who suffered with frequent (at least monthly) migraines. Each subject engaged in up to 16 chiropractic sessions. The subjects noted that their headache frequency, duration, and disability two months before the study began, during the duration of the sessions (which was two months), and two months post-treatment.

What the investigators discovered is that spinal manipulation therapy reduced the frequency, duration, and disability of the migraine headaches when compared with the control patients who didn't receive chiropractic. In addition, this allowed them to take less medication for the pain, offering them an all-natural answer for a chronic condition.

Another article found that a combination of chiropractic and neck massage reduced migraine headaches almost 68%.
