Manahawkin Chiropractic Care to Help Relieve Migraine Pain
Migraine sufferers don’t suffer alone. Around 15% of US adults suffer with migraine. More women than men are bothered by migraine. Women are more likely to suffer migraine three times as often as men do. (1) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is not alone in the desire to help migraine sufferers find relief. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is delighted to contribute to the migraine relief effort with its gentle Manahawkin chiropractic care.
TREATMENTS FOR MIGRAINE: MEDS & CHIROPRACTIC & MORE
How do migraine sufferers deal with their migraine? They turn to medications. Meds are first line treatment options while around 50% of migraine sufferers are now using complementary and integrative medicine. One research team has set up a research project studying the chiropractic care of migraine as migraine and musculoskeletal tension and pain often occur together. They called their study the “Integrative Migraine Pain Alleviation through Chiropractic Therapy (IMPACT).” (1) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center anticipates their outcomes as they plan to compare multimodal chiropractic care along with usual care and usual care alone for adult women with episodic migraine.
MIGRAINE TREATMENT OUTCOMES
Non-pharmacological interventions for migraine are customary. To find out if an intervention is “clinically meaningful,” researchers seek a 50% reduction in headaches. A group of researchers who looked at a large number of published studies suggested that related symptoms and fear of attacks would also be good outcome measures in addition to the 50% reduction in migraines. They also said that the level of effectiveness for non-pharmacological interventions – particularly used with medication – should be lower if helpful. (2) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is pleased to play a role in our Manahawkin migraine sufferers’ healthcare team for migraine relief. The 50% Rule has governed the outcomes of Cox Technic.
CHIROPRACTIC APPROACH TO MIGRAINE
Chiropractic is known for its approach to musculoskeletal pain and its relief. Since research suggested that musculoskeletal tension may have a role in migraine, chiropractic may have a role in its relief. Researchers gathered details from lots of randomized control trials of spinal manipulation for migraine relief. Treatment with spinal manipulation varied from 2 to 6 months. Preliminarily, spinal manipulation was found to be an effective therapeutic treatment to reduce migraine days and migraine intensity and pain. (3) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center uses extremely gentle spinal manipulation from the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to reduce pain and ease any migraine-related musculoskeletal pain issues.
