Research Reveals Chiropractic Can Reduce Migraines in Ronkonkoma
With the Migraine Research Foundation reporting that migraine headaches affect 38 million people in the United States (more than asthma and diabetes put together), it's not surprising that Dr. Priolo sees a lot of headache sufferers in our Ronkonkoma office. While some folks choose to relieve migraine pain with medications, chiropractic care is a wonderful, all-natural choice that often produces positive results.
Research Supports Chiropractic Adjustments Helps With Migraines
For instance, one report published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics involved 127 people ranging in age from 10 to 70-years-old who struggled with frequent (at least monthly) headaches. Each subject engaged in up to 16 chiropractic sessions. The patients noted that their headache frequency, duration, and disability two months before the treatments began, during the duration of the sessions (which was two months), and two months post-treatment.
What the authors discovered is that spinal manipulation therapy reduced the frequency, duration, and disability of the migraine pain when compared with the control patients who didn't receive chiropractic. Even better, this enabled them to take less medication for the pain, providing them an all-natural solution for a chronic condition.
Another study found that a combination of chiropractic and neck massage reduced migraine headaches almost 68%.
