Migraines
by Dr. Scott J. Heun

There are several types of headaches, including migraine, tension and cervicogenic (arising from the cervical spine).Numerous controlled trials now support the effectiveness of chiropractic treatment for all three.

In a controlled trial conducted by Macquarie University in Australia, for example, 172 migraine sufferers were treated with spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) for a six-month period. Results showed that over 20% of participants reported a dramatic reduction in the number of migraines experienced after only two months of therapy. Likewise, the majority of participants reported a marked improvement in the severity of their migraine episodes.
