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

Fort Wayne chiropractic care at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc may reduce headache days each month. 

 
HEADACHES AND CHIROPRACTIC CARE

Headaches are not unusual! Many Fort Wayne headache sufferers attain headache relief with Fort Wayne chiropractic care. One in 5 new chiropractic patients visit to a chiropractor’s office like Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc because of headache. Headache patients make up a sizeable part of the chiropractic practice, and that’s true for Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc. Chiropractors often identify and participate in interdisciplinary care of headache patients with other healthcare providers. (1) Spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) for cervicogenic headache is written to be quite helpful. For the most benefit, a new study found that 18 SMT visits compared with 1, 6, and 12 visits, is most effective, lowering cervicogenic headache days by half. Compared with slight massage, SMT also brought about 3 more cervicogenic headache-free days a month. (2)

Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc shares a new paper that higher Vitamin D levels may reduce migraine headache incidence. 

TIP OF THE MONTH: Vitamin D for Reduced Migraines

It has 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 reportedly therapeutic. (3) A recent study reports that higher levels of serum Vitamin D (50 to less than 100 ng/mL) reduces the odds of suffering a migraine headache by 80% to 83% versus levels below 20 ng/mL. (4) Fort Wayne migraine sufferers may try to improve their Vitamin D status in addition to their Fort Wayne chiropractic care plan.
