TREATMENTS FOR MIGRAINE: MEDS & CHIROPRACTIC & MORE
What do migraine sufferers do about their migraine? They turn to medications. Meds are first line treatment options, yet around 50% of migraine sufferers are recently using complementary and integrative medicine. One research team has organized a study of the chiropractic care of migraine since migraine and musculoskeletal tension and pain often occur together. They named their study the “Integrative Migraine Pain Alleviation through Chiropractic Therapy (IMPACT).” (1) Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers looks forward to their discoveries as they plan to evaluate 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 usual. To determine 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 related symptoms and fear of attacks would also be good outcome measures in addition to the 50% reduction in migraines. They also stated that the degree of effectiveness for non-pharmacological interventions – particularly used in addition to medication – should be lower if helpful.

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 have a role in migraine, chiropractic may have 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 decrease migraine days and migraine intensity and pain. (3) Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers 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.
