November 2018 Healthy News: Chiropractic for Headache & Vitamin D for Migraine
Headaches are not unusual! Many Toronto headache sufferers get headache relief with Toronto chiropractic care. One in 5 new chiropractic patients visit to a chiropractor’s office like Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre because of headache. Headache patients comprise a large part of the chiropractic practice, and that is true for Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre. Chiropractors many times identify and participate in interdisciplinary care of headache patients with other healthcare providers. (1) Spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) for cervicogenic headache is reported to be quite successful. For the most benefit, a new study found that 18 SMT visits in contrast to 1, 6, and 12 visits, is most effective, lowering cervicogenic headache days by 50%. Compared with slight massage, SMT also produced 3 more cervicogenic headache-free days a month. (2)

TIP OF THE MONTH: Vitamin D for Reduced Migraines

The role of nutrients – vitamin D, vitamin B12, alpha lipoic acid, CoQ10, magnesium, niacin, riboflavin, and riboflavin - in the supportive care of migraines is said to be therapeutic.
