Can Chiropractors Provide Patients Help With Headaches.

This looks like a simple question to reply, doesn't it? The reply of course being, a resounding YES!!!

Thus, instead of having me "assure you" that chiropractic works GREAT for headache management, let us review the scientific literature to see if "they" (the scientific profession) concur or not.

In a 2011 meta analysis, investigators reviewed journals printed through 2009 and found 21 articles that matched their inclusion criteria and utilized the consequences to come up with treatment recommendations. Investigators found there is literature showing assistance using Chiropractic care for treating migraine head aches of both episodic or chronic migraine. Similarly, support for the Chiropractic treatment of cervicogenic headaches, or headaches originating from the neck region (see last month's Wellness Update), was reported. The literature evaluation also found low load craniocervical mobilization might be beneficial for longer term management of patients with episodic or chronic tension-type headaches where manipulation was discovered to be less effective. 

Okay, we understand that is all fairly technical, so sorry about this. But, it's necessary to "hear" this therefore when people ask you why are heading to your chiropractor for the headaches, it is possible to say that not only that it helps a lot, but there are lots of scientific studies that support it too!

Bottom line is that it DOES REALLY HELP and perhaps, most importantly, it aids WITHOUT drugs and their related side effects. Go ask anyone that has taken several of the headache medications what their side-effects were and you'll shortly recognize a non-drug strategy should at least be attempted first since it shows few to no negative effects.

We understand that you have a choice in where you select your healthcare services. We genuinely value the trust and confidence revealed by choosing our services and look forward in serving you and your family presently and, in the future, if you, a friend or household member requires care for headache.
