Good news for migraine sufferers!

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality ( AHRQ) which provide the national guidelines for treatment protocols of different disorders has approved a guideline called "Evidence-based Guidelines for the Chiropractic Treatment of adults with Headaches."  

Under the section called "Major Recommendations" they recommend the following treatment for migraine headaches:  Spinal Manipulation is recommended for the management of patients with episodic or chronic migraine with or without aura. They're recommending a frequency of 1 to 2 times per week for eight weeks.

FYI: Chiropractors use the term "adjustment" as opposed to "Spinal Manipulation."  Spinal manipulation is general and nonspecific in nature and the chiropractic adjustment is specific with the purpose of removing a subluxation which causes nerve interference thereby limiting the bodies ability to heal itself/ correct the cause.  The chiropractic adjustment, as the name implies, is only performed by licensed chiropractors.
