Fort Wayne Chiropractic Care to Help Relieve Migraine Pain

Migraine sufferers don’t suffer by themselves. Approximately 15% of US adults experience migraine. More often, women more so than men are troubled by migraine. Women are more likely to suffer migraine three times as often as men do. (1) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is not alone in wanting to help migraine sufferers get relief. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is happy to contribute to the migraine relief effort with its gentle Fort Wayne chiropractic care.

TREATMENTS FOR MIGRAINE: MEDS & CHIROPRACTIC & MORE

How do migraine sufferers deal with their migraine? They resort to medications. Meds are first line treatment options, yet around 50% of migraine sufferers are now trying complementary and integrative medicine. One set of researchers has organized a study of the chiropractic care of migraine as migraine and musculoskeletal tension and pain often go together. They named their study the “Integrative Migraine Pain Alleviation through Chiropractic Therapy (IMPACT).” (1) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic looks forward to their outcomes as they plan to assess multimodal chiropractic care along with usual care and usual care but itself 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 look for a 50% reduction in headaches. A group of researchers who looked at a large number of published studies proposed 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 – especially used with medication – should be lower if beneficial. (2) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is happy to play a role in our Fort Wayne 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 play a role in migraine, chiropractic may have a role in its relief. Researchers collected details from several 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) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic performs extremely gentle spinal manipulation from the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to relieve pain and alleviate any migraine-related musculoskeletal pain issues.
