If you or someone you know suffer from regular headaches or worse, migraines.... you know how much it effects your daily life. While you have a headache it is nearly impossible to do regular daily tasks. At the very least you are barley getting it done and it is not at your best or highest potential. (If you do not want to read everything at least skip to the bold below)
So many moms and dads miss out on their children's lives on a daily bases. So many individuals miss out on life all together! Not able to enjoy the beauty that surrounds us, not able to do the things that make them happy and things that keep them healthy. Walking, exercising and other activities are difficult to do, simple things most of us take for granted that we do daily.
I think you get my point with the serious struggle so many face. But there is help available, so many people don't realize that Chiropractic can help drastically reduce or even completely get rid of regular headaches and migraines. It is a safe and natural solution, without the need of medication that is so unhealthy for us.
Not only are there many studies that show and prove chiropractic helps, but there are many many testimonials from almost every chiropractic office that patients tell us it helps. So below I am providing 1 study and a couple testimonials for you to read. And I hope that you spread the word and help Headache and Migraine Awareness!
In 2015, the journal of Complementary Therapies in Medicine, published a study titled: Clinical Effectiveness of Osteopathic Treatment in Chronic Migraine: 3-Armed Randomized Controlled Trial. This manipulative therapy (*Adjustment - my added emphasis) was the largest ever conducted on adult migraine patients. The authors assessed the effectiveness of manipulative treatment (*Adjustment -added emphasis) on 105 chronic migraine patients. The authors note:
-The manipulation group was statistically improved from the control group
-Manipulation "significantly reduced the frequency of migraine."
-Manipulation "significantly reduced the number of subjects taking medications."
-Manipulation "showed a significant improvement in the migraineurs' quality of life."
-No study participant reported any adverse effects of the manipulation.
-The use of manipulative therapy (*Adjustment - added emphasis) as an "adjuvant therapy for migraine patients may reduce the use of drugs and optimize the clinical management of the patients."
-Manipulation "may be considered a clinically valid procedure for the management of patients with migraine."
We asked our patient during her checkup what health improvements she has experienced with care, her response was exactly : " Almost NO Migraines!" and when she started care it was due to back pain, but she had severe migraines almost daily.
Another patient was asked the same question during a checkup and her response was: "Less headaches!!! Shorter duration and less intense when they come."
And that is only 2 of the many in our office alone, let alone the thousands of people from office's all over the world! So spread the word and help someone or even yourself live a better quality of life!
