Chiropractic and Migraine

[Dr Kalla]

This page talk about how beneficial chiropractic treatment can be for people suffering from Migraines.

"Seventy-two per cent of migraine sufferers in a clinical trial experienced either 'substantial' or 'noticeable' improvement after a period of chiropractic treatment, defying historical skepticism of chiropractics by some medical practitioners.

The randomised clinical trial was undertaken by Dr Peter Tuchin, a chiropractor for the past 20 years, as part of his recently-completed PhD thesis at Macquarie University.

"Around 22 per cent [of patients] had substantial reduction - which means that more than 60 percent of their symptoms reduced during the course of the treatment," Tuchin says. "What makes this a really strong result is that this was a really chronic group - the average length of time they'd had migraines was 18 years. To get a change of that sort of magnitude in a really chronic group was quite amazing."

Wanted to ask, how do u define "Migraine"? What are the symptoms of it?

[Richie90]

Is migraine the same as headache? Does that mean that when I have a headache, it will mean that I am having a migraine as well?

[Dr Kalla]

Migraine is a type of headache. It is usually throbbing or pulsating in nature. Often associated with sensitivity to bright light and loud noises.
