Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline that focuses on the relationship between musculoskeletal structure (primarily the spine) and body function (as coordinated by the nervous system), and how this relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health. Manipulation is the skilled, gentle, passive movement of a joint (or spinal segment) either within or beyond its active range of motion. The use of spinal manipulative therapy for the relief of tension or migraine headache has been reported in several controlled human trials and systematic reviews. Overall, the quality of studies is not high, with incomplete reporting of design, inconsistent use of techniques between studies, and variable results. Despite these methodologic problems, overall the evidence suggests some benefits in the prevention of episodic tension headache. Effects on migraine headache have not been demonstrated. Better quality research is necessary in this area before a firm conclusion can be drawn.

DAYNA I became believer in reflexology. Basically, rubbing the bottom of the feet, the most tender points, eliminated headaches, migraines, and vertigo.

MICHAELA I went to an acupressure practitioner and it took a while, but basically pressure applied to the temples and massaging in a circular motion relieved headache. there is obviously more to this than trying at home.
