TREATMENTS FOR MIGRAINE: MEDS & CHIROPRACTIC & MORE
How do migraine sufferers deal with their migraine? They turn to medications. Meds are first line treatment options while around 50% of migraine sufferers are now trying complementary and integrative medicine. One research team has organized a research project studying the chiropractic care of migraine since migraine and musculoskeletal tension and pain often go together. They named their study the “Integrative Migraine Pain Alleviation through Chiropractic Therapy (IMPACT).” (1) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation 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 customary. To ascertain if an intervention is “clinically meaningful,” researchers look for 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 appropriate outcome measures in addition to the 50% reduction in migraines. They also said that the level of effectiveness for non-pharmacological interventions – particularly used in addition to medication – should be lower if helpful. (2) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is pleased to be a part of our Carrolltown migraine sufferers’ healthcare team for migraine relief. The 50% Rule has governed the outcomes of Cox Technic.
CHIROPRACTIC APPROACH TO MIGRAINE
Chiropractic is recognized for its approach to musculoskeletal pain and its relief. Since research suggested that musculoskeletal tension may play 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) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation uses extremely gentle spinal manipulation from the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to relieve pain and ease any migraine-related musculoskeletal pain issues.
