The study reports that when she was 23 years old and a professional skater she had sustained a concussion by hitting her head against the ice in a fall.  Prior to her fall and concussion, she exhibited no health problems. Following the concussion, she suffered with tension and migraine headaches. These symptoms persisted over the next twelve years, during which time she utilized daily pain medications.</p>
<p>At age 35 she decided to initiate chiropractic care.  The study notes that the initial examination showed evidence of subluxation in the upper neck (cervical spine) . The results were monitored by the doctor’s observation, patient’s subjective description of symptoms, and thermographic scans.  Following three months of care all headaches were gone. After a one year follow up the patient still remained headache free. </p>
<p>The study&#8217;s conclusion noted, &#8220;The onset of the symptoms following the patient’s fall on her head; the immediate reduction in symptoms correlating with the initiation of care; and the complete absence of all symptoms within three months of care; suggest a link between the patient’s concussion, the upper cervical subluxation, and her headaches.”</p>
<p>Don’t you owe it to yourself to try a new approach to solving your migraines? If traditional western medicine isn’t helping, <a href="http://wattsdc.com" target="_blank">give chiropractic care a try</a>. What do you have to lose?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From the February 2004 issue of the Journal of Chiropractic Pediatrics, comes a documented case study of a 28 year old women who suffered with migraine headaches for over a decade <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-127" style="margin: 5px;" title="migraine headaches" src="http://wattsdc.com/chiropractic-blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/migraine-headaches.jpg" alt="migraine headaches" width="199" height="300" />before being helped with chiropractic care.  In her case there was no history of previous trauma.  Her migraines would last for several days and would cause nausea and dizziness.</p>
<p>In addition to her headaches, she also revealed a history of an irregular menstrual cycle, she would normally menstruate no more than twice per year.  This problem resulted in infertility.  After years of not becoming pregnant, she sought help from a reproductive endocrinologist. She was placed on medication which created additional side effects but did allow her to become pregnant.  Unfortunately, after 9 weeks she suffered a miscarriage.</p>
<p>After years of these problems the woman started chiropractic care.  She was initially given an examination and it was determined that she did have spinal problems.  A series of specific chiropractic adjustments were then initiated.  A re-examination was performed one month after care began. The patient reported a reduction in her headaches.  After the second month of care another examination was performed and the patient reported that she had no incidence of migraine headache for the entire previous month. Additionally, the patient noticed that she had started a regular menstrual cycle.  Within six months of the initiation of chiropractic care, she became pregnant.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to the Foundation for Chiropractic Education and Research (FCER), chiropractic care can be an effective tool for sufferers of Tension Headaches.  Several studies over the past few years have tracked many different types of physical and  behavioral treatments for patients with headaches.  Chiropractic care was specifically compared to amitriptyline, a common medication used for headaches.<img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-73" style="margin: 5px;" title="headaches and chiropractic care" src="http://wattsdc.com/chiropractic-blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/headache-300x210.jpg" alt="headaches and chiropractic care" width="300" height="210" /></p>
<p>The results showed that chiropractic was highly effective for patients with tension headaches. When compared with the drug amitriptyline, chiropractic and the drug had similar short term effects during the episode.  However, the drug carried with it an adverse reaction rate in 82% of the patients.  ? The only reactions to chiropractic care are health and wellness!</p>
<p>The most profound effects were seen after the care was discontinued in the study.  In these instances the patients who were on drug therapy essentially returned to the same state as before. (<strong>Drugs only treat the symptoms</strong>.)  However, the patients who were under chiropractic care continued to show sustained reduction in headache frequency and severity even after the chiropractic care was discontinued. (<strong>Chiropractic treats the cause</strong>.) The implications are that chiropractic is not actually a therapy or treatment, but rather gets to the cause, allowing the body to effect a correction that lasts beyond actual care.</p>
