Headaches & Migraines ::
More
than 15 million Americans suffer from persistent recurring headaches
with no obvious cause. Pain pills only cover up the headaches temporarily
and the headaches come back. Numerous studies have found that chiropractic
care helps a variety of headaches. Tension headaches are one of
the most common types of headaches. Recent studies show that many
of these originate in the neck where the cervical vertebrae are
located. A medical doctor doing research at Syracuse University
said, "We've been able to put together a scientific explanation
for how neck structure causes headaches... It's true that chiropractors
have been saying this for years... They were right about headaches."
A recently published controlled trial concluded, "Spinal manipulation
has a significant positive effect in cases of cervicogenic (originating
from the neck) headache." They found that chiropractic care
reduced the number of headache hours by an impressive 69% and reduced
the intensity of the remaining headaches.
Migraine
headaches, perhaps the most severe headaches, also respond to chiropractic
care. In one study, 74.7% of migraine patients were greatly improved
under chiropractic care, and the success rate was maintained two
years after the care ended. Then there was the Parker trial funded
by the Australian government that found chiropractic care effective
for Migraine. A follow-up study of the Parker trial concluded, "The
trial clearly established that chiropractic was an effective treatment
for migraine."
Chiropractic
care is not just for backaches. If you suffer with headaches, by
all means get a spinal check up.
