November 2018 Healthy News: Chiropractic for Headache & Vitamin D for Migraine
Headaches are not unusual! Many Montreal headache sufferers attain headache relief with Montreal chiropractic care. One in 5 new chiropractic patients come to a chiropractor’s office like Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic with a complaint of headache. Headache patients make up a large portion of the chiropractic practice, and that is true for Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic. 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)
