Might a chiropractor really help resolve migraine headaches?

Unlikely: Migraines develop from compression of peripheral nerves. While you may get temporary relief from massage and manipulation, the relief will be short lived. Long term relief can be obtained by other means. www.themigrainereliefcenter.com.

No: Chiropractic manipulation does not help resolve migraine. This is based on my experience and review of information published by the american chiropractic association (http://www.Acatoday.Org/content_css.Cfm?Cid=2186). Chiropractic manipulation may help neck and tension headache, but not migraine.
