What is a Migraine?
From Wikipedia
Migraine is a neurological syndrome characterized by altered bodily experiences, painful
headaches, and nausea. It is a common condition which affects women more frequently than it
does men.
The typical migraine headache is one-sided and pulsating, lasting 4 to 72 hours. Accompanying
complaints are nausea and vomiting, and a heightened sensitivity to bright lights (photophobia)
and noise (hyperacusis).
Approximately one third of people who experience migraine get a preceding aura, in which a
patient may sense a strange light or unpleasant smell. Patients often describe triggers they feel
precipitate an episode of migraine, such as certain foods and beverages (like chocolate or
alcohol), stress or menstruation. In some migraine types there are typical features but the
headache remains absent, and in children abdominal pain may be a prominent feature.
How can Chiropractic help with Migraines and Headaches?
Migraine Headache: Chiropractic-
"Several clinical trials indicate that spinal manipulation therapy may help treat migraine
headaches. In one study of people with migraines, 22% of those who received chiropractic
manipulation reported more than a 90% reduction of attacks. Also, 49% reported a significant
reduction of the intensity of each migraine.
In another study, people with migraine headaches were randomly assigned to receive spinal
manipulation, a daily medication (Elavil), or a combination of both. Spinal manipulation
worked as well as Elavil in reducing migraines and had fewer side effects. Combining the two
therapies didn't work any better.
In addition, researchers reviewed 9 studies that tested chiropractic for tension or migraine
headaches and found that it worked as well as medications in preventing these headaches"
