New York City Chiropractic Care of Headache and Tips for Headache and Migraine Prevention
Headaches and migraines are never welcome. Headache sufferers are usually quite ready for tips on how to avoid them. Over 50 years of age, sufferers of migraine, a primary headache, find themselves members of a global community with migraine as a foremost cause of disability. (1) Rosenberg Wellness Center offers some prevention tips and treatment relief ideas just for our New York City headache and migraine sufferers.
DIET AND WEIGHT
A healthy diet feeds the body and the mind. Researchers have described that migraine triggers appear in a variety of forms - environmental, hormonal, and dietary. A high-quality diet successfully helps handle migraine. Further, and more specifically, women with chronic migraine consumed a lower diet quality than that of women who experienced episodic migraine. (2) A new study was even more specific with the kind of diet beneficial to migraine patients, specifically overweight folks. A very low-calorie ketogenic diet was revealed to be episodic-migraine preventative. Usefulness was noted within one month of the diet change. (3) Rosenberg Wellness Center is not recommending that any of our patients start a particular diet now! If a New York City headache sufferer wants to look into a new diet, Rosenberg Wellness Center is here to talk and determine which diet (if any special one) is proper.
NUTRITION: Vitamin D
The same goes for vitamin D supplementation. Vitamin D deficiency has been found in 45% to 100% of migraine sufferers. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant characteristics of vitamin D have opened its supplementation to considered inclusion in the care and prevention of headache and migraine. One study reported that trial doses of 1000-4000 IU per day decreased the frequency of migraine in addition to routine drug therapy. More analysis needs to be completed, but vitamin D supplementation appears promising. (1) Rosenberg Wellness Center studies the nutrition of each individual New York City chiropractic patient and suggests supplementation when applicable.
CHIROPRACTIC AND INTEGRATIVE CARE
Headaches of all sorts – primary headaches like migraine and tension-type headache – are everyday complaints brought to the New York City chiropractor. Research reported that complementary and integrative medicine - nutrition, movement (yoga), manual therapy, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage, biofeedback, meditation, and mind-body strategies – was helpful. More specifically, spinal manipulation, chiropractic care, some supplements, diet change and hydrotherapy are reported beneficial for migraine headache. (4)
