Fort Wayne Chiropractic Care to Help Relieve Migraine Pain
Migraine sufferers are not by themselves. Around 15% of US adults experience migraine. More women than men are troubled by migraine. Women tend to suffer migraine three times as often as men do. (1) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is not alone in the desire 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
What do migraine sufferers do about 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 set up a study of 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) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic anticipates their findings as they intend to evaluate multimodal chiropractic care plus usual care and usual care alone for adult women with episodic migraine.
MIGRAINE TREATMENT OUTCOMES
Non-pharmacological interventions for migraine are usual. To determine if an intervention is “clinically meaningful,” researchers seek a 50% reduction in headaches. A panel of researchers who reviewed many published studies proposed that associated symptoms and fear of attacks would also be good outcome measures in addition to the 50% reduction in migraines. They also stated that the degree of effectiveness for non-pharmacological interventions – particularly used in addition to medication – should be lower if helpful. (2) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is pleased 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 recognized for its approach to musculoskeletal pain and its relief. Since research suggested that musculoskeletal tension may have a role in migraine, chiropractic may play a role in its relief. Researchers collected details from several randomized control trials of spinal manipulation for migraine relief. Treatment with spinal manipulation ranged from 2 to 6 months. Preliminarily, spinal manipulation was written to be an effective therapeutic treatment to decrease migraine days and migraine intensity and pain. (3) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic uses very gentle spinal manipulation from the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to reduce pain and alleviate any migraine-related musculoskeletal pain issues.
