Chronic Migraine Relief

New research has emerged indicating several therapies provided by chiropractors provide significant migraine relief.  Migraine headaches can cause severe debilitating throbbing head pain that can last for days and are neurological in nature.  This particular study evaluated women suffering from chronic migraines since women are three times more likely to suffer from migraines compared with men.  Researchers compared the outcomes in those women receiving daily neck exercises along with either soft tissue mobilization or transcutaneous occipital nerve stimulation (applying a TENS unit to the upper neck region).  Both treatments were found to reduce head and neck pain, improve sleep as well as quality of life in those chronic migraine sufferers.  Soft tissue mobilization, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and implementation of therapeutic exercises are all common chiropractic therapies (where permitted by law) in addition to chiropractic adjustments.  If you are suffering from acute or chronic migraine headaches, contact your local chiropractor and setup a consultation to see if chiropractic can help.
