New studies show that chiropractic treatment is effective for migraine sufferers.

72% of migraine sufferers experienced either 'substantial' or 'noticeable' improvement after chiropractic treatment, according to clinical trials performed at a university in Australia. This study defies the historical bias against chiropractic that some medical practitioners have maintained.

The 123 participants in the study had suffered migraines for an average of 18 years. Approximately 22 per cent of patients had a 60% reduction or better and an addition 50% noted "quite noticeable improvement"- The results are very significant because many of the migraine medications are very strong drugs which have lots of side effects. Some of the migraine medications also have the problem of giving instant relief to the migraine, but creating another 'rebound migraine' the next day.

"Chiropractic is not the be all and end all, but for a good percentage of migraine sufferers the neck is a significant contributing factor, and for them chiropractic treatment is really effective. I'm not saying that everybody's going to be cured, but there's very little to lose" says Dr. Peter Tuchin, the studies author. "I think the vast majority of medical practitioners are now open to chiropractic, but there's a very small percentage who don't realize what developments we've had, what inroads we've made," Tuchin says.

It is refreshing to see this kind of research finally being done. It troubles me however, that such research has to come from another continent. American medical schools are still dangerously addicted to pharmaceutical research dollars and as such must avoid conducting research that would point patients away from the drug store or risk losing their other research grants. As a Chiropractor, I love to help patients with migraines. The results of chiropractic care are often dramatic and life changing.
