Hi my name is Wendy Jane and I am a pretty ordinary gal from the UK. Actually I live right in the hert of England in the beautiful county of Staffordshire. I am a health and fitness fanatic so I enjoy researching, writing and helping out with all kinds of health issues from back pain to weight loss or skin care to beauty. I am by no means a Doctor so if you read any of my personal advice or tips always be sure to check them with your own physician. I hope you enjoy my articles.
Many people looking for migraine pain relief are turning to chiropractic treatment. This is quite simply because it is an alternative, non-invasive and very, very effective method to gain quick pain relief. In this article I will explain why and how this is benefiting so many people across the world.
Migraine headaches are idiopathic. This means that despite the last century’s advances in medical science their cause is still unknown. A number of theories exist to explain migraines. They include a possible serotonin deficiency in migraineurs, genetics malformations, and arterial swelling in the cranium.
A common chiropractic theory is that subluxations in the muscles at the base of the skull and the neck cause, or contribute to, the formation of migraine headaches. Subluxations are tense areas in the muscles adjoining the small bones of the upper spinal column. On an x-ray, the bones appear to be in the correct place and medical doctors often miss the tension in the muscles. A chiropractor gently manipulates the spine to relax these subluxations.
Chiropractors offer two varieties of care for migraine patients, straight chiropractic and mixed chiropractic. Straight chiropractic only involves manipulation of the spine and spinal subluxations. Mixed chiropractic care combines traditional manipulation with other complementary techniques. The focus in mixed chiropractic is to reduce overall neck strain and tension.
Researchers at Northwestern College of Chiropractic in Minnesota recently compared chiropractic care with drug therapies for migraines and chronic tension headaches. The study was published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics. Two hundred eighteen headache patients were given either drug therapy or regular chiropractic care. Both groups reported a 40-50% reduction in headache pain at the end of the study.
Migraine pain relief can be found in many different forms but it appears that the all natural method is becoming the most popular and most effective.
