Juneau Chiropractic Care to Help Relieve Migraine Pain
Migraine sufferers are not alone. Around 15% of US adults experience migraine. More women than men are troubled by migraine. Women tend to suffer migraine three times more often as men do. (1) Aurora Chiropractic Center is not alone in wanting to help migraine sufferers get relief. Aurora Chiropractic Center is delighted to contribute to the migraine relief effort with its gentle Juneau 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 while around 50% of migraine sufferers are recently using complementary and integrative medicine. One research team has organized a study of the chiropractic care of migraine since migraine and musculoskeletal tension and pain often occur together. They called their study the “Integrative Migraine Pain Alleviation through Chiropractic Therapy (IMPACT).” (1) Aurora Chiropractic Center anticipates their outcomes as they plan to assess 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 reviewed a large number of published studies proposed that associated symptoms and fear of attacks would also be good outcome measures along with the 50% reduction in migraines. They also said that the degree of effectiveness for non-pharmacological interventions – particularly used with medication – should be lower if helpful. (2) Aurora Chiropractic Center is pleased to play a role in our Juneau 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 stated that musculoskeletal tension may have a role in migraine, chiropractic may play a role in its relief. Researchers gathered 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 reduce migraine days and migraine intensity and pain. (3) Aurora Chiropractic Center uses extremely gentle spinal manipulation from the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to reduce pain and alleviate any migraine-related musculoskeletal pain issues.
