Headaches are not uncommon! Many Richmond headache sufferers get headache relief with Richmond chiropractic care. One out of every 5 new chiropractic patients visit to a chiropractor’s office like Johnson Chiropractic because of headache. Headache patients make up a significant part of the chiropractic practice, and that is true for Johnson Chiropractic. Chiropractors many times diagnose 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 found that 18 SMT visits in contrast to 1, 6, and 12 visits, is most effective, lowering cervicogenic headache days by 50%. Compared with slight massage, SMT also resulted in three more cervicogenic headache-free days a month. (2)

TIP OF THE MONTH: Vitamin D for Reduced Migraines
It’s been offered that the inflammation and a diminished immune system may have 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 writes that higher levels of serum Vitamin D (50 to less than 100 ng/mL) reduces the odds of having a migraine headache by 80% to 83% as opposed to levels below 20 ng/mL. (4) Richmond migraine sufferers may want to consider improving their Vitamin D status in addition to their Richmond chiropractic care plan.
