Migraine Headache Relief with Chiropractic in West New York
With the Migraine Research Foundation reporting that migraines affect 38 million people in the United States (more than asthma and diabetes put together), it's not surprising that Dr. Marsh sees a lot of migraine patients in our West New York office. Eventhough some folks try to relieve migraine pain with medications, chiropractic care is a wonderful, all-natural choice that usually provides positive results.
Research Supports Chiropractic Care Helps With Migraines
For example, one report published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics involved 127 participants ranging in age from 10 to 70-years-old who struggled with regular (at least monthly) migraines. Each subject received up to 16 chiropractic sessions. The subjects noted that their headache frequency, duration, and disability two months before the study began, during the duration of the sessions (which was two months), and two months post-treatment.
What the researchers discovered is that chiropractic adjustments reduced the frequency, duration, and disability of the migraine pain when compared with the control group who didn't receive chiropractic. In addition, this enabled them to take less medication for the pain, offering them an all-natural solution for a chronic condition.
Another study found that a combination of chiropractic and neck massage reduced migraine pain almost 68%.
