Migraines & Chiropractic

One of the most debilitating things a person could deal with is a migraine headache. Simple activities could become impossible to do when one is suffering from one of these headaches. Chiropractic has been found to be incredibly effective when dealing with the more common tension headache. Let’s look at what studies have shown regarding migraines.

It has been found that not all migraines may be directly related to cervical spine problems. It has become clearer that they very well could be associated with neck issues.

Most studies regarding headaches have shown that the group exhibiting a migraine type headache have had cervical spine issues. Structural and postural problems easily turn into a headache.

It has been found that a good portion of migraine patients also have significant neck problems. In fact, it has been shown that most migraine patients will have cervical dysfunction concurrently with their headache.

Chiropractic can be a great benefit to those patients that experience migraine headaches. Data has shown that patients that have gotten a chiropractic adjustment will lessen the duration and intensity of a migraine.
