Murfreesboro Chiropractic Care of Headache and Tips for Headache and Migraine Prevention
Headaches and migraines are never welcome. Headache sufferers are typically quite ready for tips on how to avoid them. Migraine (a primary headache) sufferers over the age of 50 find themselves members of a global community with migraine being a leading cause of disability. (1) Most Chiropractic Clinic has some prevention tips and treatment relief suggestions just for our Murfreesboro headache and migraine sufferers.
DIET AND WEIGHT
A healthy diet feeds the body and the mind. Researchers have discussed that migraine triggers appear in a variety of forms - environmental, hormonal, and dietary. A high-quality diet effectively helps manage migraine. Additionally, and more specifically, women with chronic migraine ate a lower diet quality than that of women who experienced episodic migraine. (2) A new study got even more specific with the kind of diet beneficial to migraine patients, particularly those who are overweight. A very low-calorie ketogenic diet was found to be preventive of episodic migraines. Usefulness was observed within one month of the diet change. (3) Most Chiropractic Clinic is not recommending that any of our patients begin a particular diet now! If a Murfreesboro headache sufferer chooses to look into a new diet, Most Chiropractic Clinic is here to chat and determine which diet (if any special one) is proper.
NUTRITION: Vitamin D
In much the same way, vitamin D supplementation is presented. Vitamin D deficiency has been reported in 45% to 100% of migraine sufferers. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant features of vitamin D have opened its supplementation to considered inclusion in the care and prevention of headache and migraine. One study reported that trial doses of 1000-4000 IU per day reduced the frequency of migraine in addition to routine drug therapy. More study needs to be completed, but vitamin D supplementation seems promising. (1) Most Chiropractic Clinic studies the nutrition of each individual Murfreesboro chiropractic patient and suggests supplementation when applicable.
CHIROPRACTIC AND INTEGRATIVE CARE
Headaches of all types – primary headaches like migraine and tension-type headache – are everyday complaints brought to the Murfreesboro chiropractor. Research reported that complementary and integrative medicine - nutrition, movement (yoga), manual therapy, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage, biofeedback, meditation, and mind-body strategies – was helpful. More specifically, spinal manipulation, chiropractic care, some supplements, diet change and hydrotherapy are reported beneficial for migraine headache. (4)
