The cause of migraines has been a mystery. New research reveal sufferers have abnormal nerve firing in the brain and spinal chord(1).This may be why chiropractic's traditional approach helps so many headache sufferers and it adds to the findings that headaches can be caused by problems in the neck (cervical spine).A study of 6,000 people who suffered from recurring headaches for 2 to 25 years showed spinal injury was the most important factor in the cause of headaches and should be suspected in every nonspecific case of headache(2)
In a 6 month study 1/2 of 127 migraine sufferers were given chiropractic while the other half was not. 22% of the chiropractic group reported MORE THAN 90% REDUCTION in migraines after 2 months and about 50%in the group reported SIGNIFICANT DECLINE IN SEVERITY of migraines.(3)
