TREATMENTS FOR MIGRAINE: MEDS & CHIROPRACTIC & MORE
How do migraine sufferers deal with their migraine? They use medications. Meds are first line treatment options, yet around 50% of migraine sufferers are recently using complementary and integrative medicine. One research team has set up a study of the chiropractic care of migraine as migraine and musculoskeletal tension and pain often occur together. They named their study the “Integrative Migraine Pain Alleviation through Chiropractic Therapy (IMPACT).” (1) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre anticipates their outcomes as they plan to assess multimodal chiropractic care along with usual care and usual care but itself for adult women with episodic migraine.
MIGRAINE TREATMENT OUTCOMES
Non-pharmacological interventions for migraine are customary. To determine if an intervention is “clinically meaningful,” researchers look for a 50% reduction in headaches. A group of researchers who reviewed a large number of published studies proposed that related symptoms and fear of attacks would also be appropriate outcome measures in addition to the 50% reduction in migraines. They also said that the degree of effectiveness for non-pharmacological interventions – especially used in addition to medication – should be lower if helpful.

CHIROPRACTIC APPROACH TO MIGRAINE
Chiropractic is known for its approach to musculoskeletal pain and its relief. Since research stated that musculoskeletal tension may have a role in migraine, chiropractic may have a role in its relief. Researchers collected details from lots of randomized control trials of spinal manipulation for migraine relief. Treatment with spinal manipulation ranged from 2 to 6 months. Preliminarily, spinal manipulation was found to be an effective therapeutic treatment to decrease migraine days and migraine intensity and pain. (3) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre uses very gentle spinal manipulation from the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to relieve pain and alleviate any migraine-related musculoskeletal pain issues.
