UPDATED RESEARCH (circa 2011)
Headaches & Migraines:
Chiropractic vs. Medication; Effectiveness & Safety
In randomized clinical trials, chiropractic was 57% more effective in the reduction of headaches and migraines than drug therapy
As previously reported in the US Chiropractic Directory, after 8 weeks of randomized clinical trials with chiropractic vs. medication for headache and migraine sufferers, the chiropractic group scored 42% vs. 24% effective for medication. This research indicates that chiropractic is 57% more effective than medication for headaches and migraines.To say that the medical approach doesn’t have a place in healthcare would be inaccurate and irresponsible, but based upon evidenced based outcome studies, research concludes that for headaches and migraines, the path is chiropractic first and drugs second.
A 2011 study confirmed these findings and more.
