November 2018 Healthy News: Chiropractic for Headache & Vitamin D for Migraine

Headaches are not unusual! Many Williamson headache sufferers attain headache relief with Williamson chiropractic care. One in 5 new chiropractic patients come to a chiropractor’s office like Apple Country Chiropractic because of headache. Headache patients make up a significant part of the chiropractic practice, and that’s true for Apple Country Chiropractic. Chiropractors many times diagnose and co-manage 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 reported that 18 SMT visits in contrast to 1, 6, and 12 visits, is most effective, decreasing cervicogenic headache days by half. Compared with slight massage, SMT also brought about 3 more cervicogenic headache-free days a month. (2)

TIP OF THE MONTH: Vitamin D for Reduced Migraines

It’s been said that the inflammation and a diminished immune system may have a role in migraine headache. The role of nutrients – vitamin D, vitamin B12, alpha lipoic acid, CoQ10, magnesium, niacin, riboflavin, and riboflavin - in the supportive care of migraines is said to be therapeutic. (3) A recent study reports that better levels of serum Vitamin D (50 to less than 100 ng/mL) decreases the odds of suffering a migraine headache by 80% to 83% versus levels below 20 ng/mL. (4) Williamson migraine sufferers may try to enhance their Vitamin D status alongside their Williamson chiropractic care plan.
