Case Study of a Patient with Chronic Migraine
Headaches
From the August 3, 2003 issue of the peer-reviewed
scientific journal, the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research,
comes a
case study of a 35-year-old female who presented with chronic daily
tension and migraine headaches. The journal article followed a patient's
history of headaches.
A professional ice skater, sustained a concussion by
hitting her head against the ice at age 23. Prior to the accident, she
had no health problems or headaches. Following the concussion, tension and
migraine headaches started. These symptoms persisted over the next twelve
years, during which time the patient utilized daily pain medications.
At age 35 the woman started chiropractic care.
Initial examination revealed presence of subluxations in her neck causing
nerve interference. Chiropractic adjustments were then begun. The results
for this patient were life changing. Evaluation of the patient’s
condition occurred by doctor’s observation, patient’s subjective
description of symptoms, and thermographic scans. The results showed that
all headaches were gone following three months of care. At the conclusion
of her case at one year, all symptoms remained absent.
