November 2018 Healthy News: Chiropractic for Headache & Vitamin D for Migraine
Headaches are not uncommon! Many Minster headache sufferers attain headache relief with Minster chiropractic care. One out of every 5 new chiropractic patients come to a chiropractor’s office like Minster Chiropractic Center with a complaint of headache. Headache patients make up a sizeable part of the chiropractic practice, and that’s true for Minster Chiropractic Center. Chiropractors often identify and participate in interdisciplinary care of headache patients with other healthcare providers. (1) Spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) for cervicogenic headache is reported to be quite helpful. For the most benefit, a new study discovered that 18 SMT visits in contrast to 1, 6, and 12 visits, is most effective, lowering cervicogenic headache days by half. Compared with slight massage, SMT also created three more cervicogenic headache-free days a month. (2)
