November 2018 Healthy News: Chiropractic for Headache & Vitamin D for Migraine

Headaches are not unusual! Many Plainville headache sufferers get headache relief with Plainville chiropractic care. One in 5 new chiropractic patients come to a chiropractor’s office like Layden Chiropractic with a complaint of headache. Headache patients account for a sizeable part of the chiropractic practice, and that is true for Layden Chiropractic. Chiropractors often diagnose and co-manage 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, 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 have 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 said to be therapeutic. (3) A new study writes that better levels of serum Vitamin D (50 to less than 100 ng/mL) lessens the odds of having a migraine headache by 80% to 83% as opposed to levels below 20 ng/mL. (4) Plainville migraine sufferers may try to improve their Vitamin D status in addition to their Plainville chiropractic care plan.
