November 2018 Healthy News: Chiropractic for Headache & Vitamin D for Migraine

Fernandina Beach chiropractic care at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic may reduce headache days each month.

HEADACHES AND CHIROPRACTIC CARE

Headaches are not unusual! Many Fernandina Beach headache sufferers attain headache relief with Fernandina Beach chiropractic care. One out of every 5 new chiropractic patients visit to a chiropractor’s office like Amelia Chiropractic Clinic with a complaint of headache. Headache patients comprise a significant portion of the chiropractic practice, and that is true for Amelia Chiropractic Clinic. Chiropractors often identify and co-manage headache patients with other healthcare providers. (1) Spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) for cervicogenic headache is reported to be quite helpful. 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 half. Compared with slight massage, SMT also produced 3 more cervicogenic headache-free days a month. (2)

Amelia Chiropractic Clinic shares a new paper that higher Vitamin D levels may reduce migraine headache incidence.

TIP OF THE MONTH: Vitamin D for Reduced Migraines

It has been proposed that the inflammation and a diminished immune system may play 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 seemingly therapeutic. (3) A new study reports that higher levels of serum Vitamin D (50 to less than 100 ng/mL) lessens the odds of suffering a migraine headache by 80% to 83% as opposed to levels below 20 ng/mL. (4) Fernandina Beach migraine sufferers may want to consider improving their Vitamin D status in addition to their Fernandina Beach chiropractic care plan.
