CHIROPRACTIC ALLEVIATES MIGRAINES

If you have problems with migraine headaches, you should consider Chiropractic as your treatment of choice. According to a recent study, migraines can be alleviated by Chiropractic adjustments.

A sixth-month study by the Chiropractic Research Center of Macquarie University tested 127 volunteers, aged 10-70, to determine the efficacy of Chiropractic in treating migraine headaches.

The volunteers had to experience a minimum of one migraine per month to be included in the study. Each had to maintain a headache diary, recording migraine frequency, intensity, duration, disability, associated symptoms and the medications used for relief.

Sixteen Chiropractic adjustments were administered to each subject throughout the course of the study. 22% of the participants reported a 90% reduction of their migraines because of the treatments received. 50% more participants said the intensity of the migraines were now less severe.

According to the study, migraines can be treated by Chiropractic care. It also appears that Chiropractic affects the physical conditions that cause the migraines, such as stress.
