Sandy Springs Chiropractic Care to Help Relieve Migraine Pain

Migraine sufferers don’t suffer by themselves. Around 15% of US adults suffer with migraine. More women than men are bothered by migraine. Women are more likely to suffer migraine three times as often as men do. (1) Cross Chiropractic Center is not alone in wanting to help migraine sufferers find relief. Cross Chiropractic Center is happy to contribute to the migraine relief effort with its gentle Sandy Springs chiropractic care.

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 recently trying complementary and integrative medicine. One research team has set up 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) Cross Chiropractic Center looks forward to their findings as they intend to evaluate multimodal chiropractic care plus usual care and usual care alone for adult women with episodic migraine.

MIGRAINE TREATMENT OUTCOMES

Non-pharmacological interventions for migraine are usual. To find out if an intervention is “clinically meaningful,” researchers seek a 50% reduction in headaches. A group of researchers who looked at a large number of published studies proposed that associated symptoms and fear of attacks would also be good outcome measures along with the 50% reduction in migraines. They also stated that the degree of effectiveness for non-pharmacological interventions – especially used in addition to medication – should be lower if helpful. (2) Cross Chiropractic Center is pleased to play a role in our Sandy Springs migraine sufferers’ healthcare team for migraine relief. The 50% Rule has governed the outcomes of Cox Technic. 

CHIROPRACTIC APPROACH TO MIGRAINE

Chiropractic is known for its approach to musculoskeletal pain and its relief. Since research suggested that musculoskeletal tension may have a role in migraine, chiropractic may have a role in its relief. Researchers amassed details from lots of randomized control trials of spinal manipulation for migraine relief. Treatment with spinal manipulation ranged from 2 to 6 months. Preliminarily, spinal manipulation was found to be an effective therapeutic treatment to reduce migraine days and migraine intensity and pain. (3) Cross Chiropractic Center uses very gentle spinal manipulation from the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to reduce pain and ease any migraine-related musculoskeletal pain issues.
