New research shows chiropractic can ease suffering from migraines, offering another tool to combat the pain. The study, published in the Journal of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Research, shows that chiropractic may play an important role in helping patients with chronic migraines.
The study followed a woman who had suffered from migraines for 12 years. She had the headaches several times a week, and they sometimes left her bedridden for days, unable to care for her family or her own basic needs. Medications didn’t help.
What did help was chiropractic care. Her chiropractor discovered structural shifts in her upper neck, which can lead to subluxations. She also had changes to her posture, along with tight muscles in her neck and upper back. The chiropractor confirmed these findings with X-rays and other tests before starting upper cervical treatment.
“. . . We are finding that correcting the structural abnormalities associated with these spinal problems reduces the nerve obstructions and people experience improvement.”
She had improved range of motion after one adjustment, and after three months of chiropractic care, her migraines went away completely.
If you suffer from migraines, consider chiropractic care for addressing structural shifts that may be causing your pain.

Chiropractic for Childhood Bedwetting
People often think of chiropractic care as treatment for pain, but helping your nervous system work optimally can resolve all kinds of issues, including childhood bedwetting.
Often, the cause of bedwetting is simply the impairment of the phrenic nerve. If childhood bedwetting is an issue for your child, a few visits to the chiropractor may be just the trick.
People often think of chiropractic care as treatment for pain, but helping your nervous system work optimally can resolve all kinds of issues, including childhood bedwetting.
Often, the cause of bedwetting is simply the impairment of the phrenic nerve. Chiropractic adjustments can focus on the vertebrae that surround this nerve, which affects the bladder, to relieve any subluxations preventing the nervous system from functioning at 100%. If childhood bedwetting is an issue for your child, a few visits to the chiropractor may be just the trick.
An awesome example of this “miraculous bedwetting fix” is Kelsey’s story. Kelsey’s chiropractor states that she had never seen a seven-year-old look so sad. On the first visit into her center, she noticed that Kelsey wouldn’t smile and simply looked as if she were in pain. After the rundown of her issues including stomach aches, migraines, allergies, asthma and a host of other concerns, it was obvious that Kelsey had a lot on her plate.

From all of these ailments, the thing Kelsey was most upset and embarrassed about was her bedwetting. She wet the bed multiple times every night and had never enjoyed a the joys of a sleepover with friends, for fear that she would wet the bed.
After just one chiropractic visit, Kelsey had a reduction in the number of nights she wet the bed, and she wasn’t wetting the bed as many times each night. By her third visit (two weeks after her first visit), she reported no bedwetting incidents in the past four nights. By her fourth visit, she had a planned a sleepover!
“Over the years now I have witnessed many chiropractic “miracles,” but I also understand that they are not miracles at all. They are simply the body’s innate power doing exactly what it is supposed to do once the nervous system is functioning optimally. We are born to survive and designed to thrive. Anything less is diminishing our potential, dimming our shine, and dulling our sparkle.”
A few simple chiropractic visits had “unlocked her nervous system” so that it could function at its full potential. The result was a happy and healthy child who felt “normal.”

Recent research shows that people who suffer from chronic pain and migraines may find relief through chiropractic care. In the study, researchers followed a 52-year-old patient who had suffered from migraines and pain in her left arm and leg for over 20 years. Her pain was so severe that she sometimes went to the hospital for relief, and the persistent pain was affecting her quality of life.
“Chronic pain disorders, including fibromyalgia, back pain, and neck pain, are more common among chronic migraine sufferers.”
Prescription medication offered only slight relief, but after five weeks of treatments (three times/week), her symptoms were greatly reduced. At that point, she opted to continue chiropractic care on a monthly basis.
