November 2018 Healthy News: Chiropractic for Headache & Vitamin D for Migraine
Headaches are not unusual! Many Baton Rouge headache sufferers get headache relief with Baton Rouge chiropractic care. One out of every 5 new chiropractic patients visit to a chiropractor’s office like Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers with a complaint of headache. Headache patients comprise a large portion of the chiropractic practice, and that is true for Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers. Chiropractors often 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 effective. For the most benefit, a new study found that 18 SMT visits compared with 1, 6, and 12 visits, is most effective, reducing cervicogenic headache days by 50%. Compared with slight massage, SMT also brought about 3 more cervicogenic headache-free days a month. (2)

TIP OF THE MONTH: Vitamin D for Reduced Migraines
It’s been proposed that the inflammation and a reduced immune system may play a role in migraine headache. The role of nutrients – vitamin D, vitamin B12, alpha lipoic acid, CoQ10, magnesium, niacin, riboflavin, and riboflavin - in the supportive care of migraines is seemingly therapeutic. (3) A recent study reports that better levels of serum Vitamin D (50 to less than 100 ng/mL) lessens the odds of suffering a migraine headache by 80% to 83% as opposed to levels below 20 ng/mL. (4) Baton Rouge migraine sufferers may try to improve their Vitamin D status alongside their Baton Rouge chiropractic care plan.
