Chiropractic Care for Migraine Relief

Another migraine.  Another day off of work.  Another wasted day.  Head pounding, nauseous, curled up in ball in your bed.  Is there another way to treat migraines other than medications?  Chiropractic care can be a good treatment option for migraine relief. 

Migraines affect 7% to 18% of North Americans and have a major impact on lowering one’s quality of life.  Migraines are a major cause of missed work and a disrupted family life. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

A recent review of the research shows that chiropractic care (spinal adjustments or spinal manipulation in the research) may be a good treatment option to give migraine relief to patients.  The review looked at 6 well designed studies and concluded that chiropractic care may reduce the number of days a person gets migraines as well as the pain/intensity of the migraines. (6)


Chiropractic care may reduce the number of days a person gets migraines as well as the pain/intensity of the migraines.


Chiropractors are specialists in the detection of headaches caused by tension in the muscles, nerves, and joints in the upper part of the neck and skull.  Spinal misalignments and tension in the muscles around the neck and skull area are found in migraine patients. (7)  By correcting the spinal misalignments with adjustments, and releasing the nerve and muscle tension, migraine sufferers can some or complete relief.

Chiropractic adjustments can be tailored to the patient’s tolerance, comfort level, and how well they respond.  In other words, chiropractic adjustments can be done lightly or more aggressive.

Chiropractic care can also be combined with other treatment options for migraine patients.  I wrote about this in two previous articles ‘How to Get Rid of Migraines Naturally’ (Part 1 and Part 2).

I encourage you to seek out a chiropractor you are comfortable with to see if chiropractic care can help you relieve your migraines.

I am writing this to thank you for your help and care to make me feel healthy and energetic once again.

I was suffering not only physically but mentally, but your structured health plan guided me to learn more about what health actually means . Eating foods that actually benefit our body versus artificial world of food.

Thank you so much , you have made a huge difference for me and my family.

“The past 13 years have been full of struggles due to chronic pain.  I had spinal surgery  in 1994 which left me crippled and unable to walk without the assistance of a cane.  With an extremely high level of pain, unable to work, and barely surviving, all the specialists gave up.  Then I met Dr. Collins.  After 3 sessions I improved so much that I no longer needed my cane, my pain level went way down, and my quality of life improved ten fold.  It has now been almost three months without my cane, and I am walking faster and sitting for longer periods.  My wife finally gets back the man she met 15 years ago.  Thank you Dr. Collins for giving me my life back, miracles do happen.”
