November 2018 Healthy News: Chiropractic for Headache & Vitamin D for Migraine
Headaches are not unusual! Many Elgin headache sufferers get headache relief with Elgin chiropractic care. One in 5 new chiropractic patients come to a chiropractor’s office like Connected Chiropractic with a complaint of headache. Headache patients account for a significant portion of the chiropractic practice, and that’s true for Connected Chiropractic. Chiropractors many times 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 successful. For the most benefit, a new study discovered that 18 SMT visits in contrast to 1, 6, and 12 visits, is most effective, decreasing cervicogenic headache days by 50%. Compared with slight massage, SMT also brought about three more cervicogenic headache-free days a month. (2)

TIP OF THE MONTH: Vitamin D for Reduced Migraines
It’s been offered 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 recent study writes that higher levels of serum Vitamin D (50 to less than 100 ng/mL) lessens the odds of having a migraine headache by 80% to 83% versus levels below 20 ng/mL. (4) Elgin migraine sufferers may try to improve their Vitamin D status alongside their Elgin chiropractic care plan.
