TREATMENTS FOR MIGRAINE: MEDS & CHIROPRACTIC & MORE
How do migraine sufferers deal with their migraine? They resort to medications. Meds are first line treatment options, yet around 50% of migraine sufferers are now trying complementary and integrative medicine. One set of researchers has organized a study of the chiropractic care of migraine as migraine and musculoskeletal tension and pain often occur together. They called their study the “Integrative Migraine Pain Alleviation through Chiropractic Therapy (IMPACT).” (1) Apple Country Chiropractic looks forward to their findings as they plan to evaluate 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 ascertain if an intervention is “clinically meaningful,” researchers look for a 50% reduction in headaches. A panel of researchers who reviewed many published studies proposed that related symptoms and fear of attacks would also be good outcome measures in addition to the 50% reduction in migraines. They also said that the degree of effectiveness for non-pharmacological interventions – especially used in addition to medication – should be lower if helpful.

CHIROPRACTIC APPROACH TO MIGRAINE
Chiropractic is recognized for its approach to musculoskeletal pain and its relief. Since research suggested 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) Apple Country Chiropractic uses very gentle spinal manipulation from the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to relieve pain and ease any migraine-related musculoskeletal pain issues.
