Todd Brown asked:
Here’s an easy way to boost your acquisition of new chiropractic patients by 20% in just 24 hours.
Done right, it actually requires LESS WORK and LESS TIME than what you’re probably doing right now.
Here’s how it works: First, take a look at the report of findings you do with prospective patients.
Maybe it’s a formal report of findings.OR, maybe it’s more an informal consultation or process you bring prospective patients through.
Regardless, how many of the prospective chiropractic patients you meet with in a given week are actually coming into your office “PRE- SOLD” on chiropractic care with you? In other words, how many are coming in to your office having already decided they want chiropractic care with you and are ready to write your office a check immediately?
For most doctors, not many. Most chiropractors rely on some type of report of findings to show prospective patients why they need chiropractic care.
Most doctors are thrilled to get prospective patients into their office for some type of appointment. This way they can bring them through some type of report of findings and hopefully
convince them of the value of chiropractic care.
But, frankly, this way of trying to convert prospective patients into paying patients is incredbily inefficient, wastes tons of time, and burns out a lot of chiropractors. If you’re at all like most chiropractors, this is similar to how you feel about the typical way chiropractors are taught to meet with prospective patients.
It just stinks! But, thank goodness, there’s a better, more effective, easier way.
Here it is: Make sure every prospective patient who walks into your office, comes in already PRE-SOLD on chiropractic care with you and ready to invest (financially) in their health. Stop meeting with people you have to “sell” on the value of chiropractic care.
That’s just nuts. You’re not a salesman or saleswoman, right? That’s not why you got into chiropractic care, right? To sell?
Instead, make sure you only meet with prospective patients who are “sold” on getting chiropractic care with you, *BEFORE* they ever walk in your door. This way, your report of findings, your persuasion skills, and your “sales skills” are all irrelevant.
This way you don’t have to be a “smooth talker”, you don’t have to “sell”. Because when people are coming in to your office PRE-SOLD on chiropractic care with you, it’s no longer about how good you do a report of findings. Or, how persuasive you are when
talking about chiropractic.
They’ve already decided they want to become your patient… BEFORE you’ve said one word to them. So, how do you do that, you’re wondering?
How do you pre-sell prospective patients before they walk in your door? You do it with your chiropractic marketing, that’s how.
Always remember, the purpose of your chiropractic marketing is to make “selling chiropractic” unnecessary. In other words, the purpose of your chiropractic marketing is to bring people into your office pre-sold on chiropractic care with you, so you DON’T have to do any “selling”.
Think about it like this… Have you ever purchased anything where you knew you were going to buy it before you walked in the store? If so, you were PRE-SOLD.
I’m sure in that instance your purchase had nothing to do with any sales presentation or something the clerk said to you, right? You walked in there ready to buy… ready to invest. And, because of that, someone “selling you” was completely unnecessary.
When your chiropractic marketing does that for you… when it brings people in pre- sold… meeting with prospective patients and growing your practice become extremely fun (and
lucrative)!
This is why you should never just throw together chiropractic marketing for your practice. It’s certainly why you should also never avoid marketing, that’s for sure.
Because doing either simply sets you up to meet with people that are going to need to be SOLD by you on chiropractic care. And, when that happens you waste a lot of time, convert far less people into paying patients, and make a lot less money.
It makes your time more efficient. It makes meeting with prospective patients much more enjoyable (that’s for sure). And, it makes you more money in less time and with less effort.

Connie Limon asked:
Pregnancy can put pressure on the sciatic nerve that causes leg pain. Some chiropractors say they are able to resolve this problem. They also say there are techniques that will help ensure a safe and easy delivery.
.
The actual goal with chiropractic care during pregnancy is to make the whole body operate better and not just the high-stress areas affected by pregnancy weight gain in the lower abdomen, hips and *******. Chiropractors aim not necessarily to relieve the pain, but to make the body function better with adjustments. They also aim to ensure a safe and easy delivery.
Pregnancy and delivery of a child changes a woman’s hormones, which can trigger headaches and make stress on the body worse than was before the pregnancy. Pregnancy does affect the whole body’s functions. Chiropractors’ feels if the nervous system is functioning better, the body functions better, and also gives your baby a better chance of developing normally.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy has increased over the past 10 years. Members of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association are seeing a lot of pregnant women and children.
In fact, some chiropractors say pregnant patients are actually suppler because the body releases a hormone called “relaxin,” which helps to relax ligaments and other parts of the body.
Chiropractors are getting less resistance from obstetricians and gynecologists. Younger OB/GYNs seem to be more open to chiropractor care for their pregnant patients.
However, there was resistance after the development of the Webster In-Utero Constraint Technique in 1978 was introduced. Some OB/GYNs thought the technique involved shifting the fetus.
Chiropractors say the baby is not contacted at any time during the Webster In-Utero Constraint Technique and that an easier birth is the goal of this technique. They also argue that when a baby is constrained and does not move normally the result can be a breech birth or require Cesarean delivery. The Webster In-Utero Constraint Technique is supposed to help the baby move normally.
The chiropractors who have used the Utero Constraint Technique say it was successful in allowing the fetus to adjust to a head-first position.
You can learn more about the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association or locate a member chiropractor at http://www.icpa4kids.org.
You should of course always consult your health care provider about your interest or intent for considering chiropractic care during pregnancy as many health care providers still resist chiropractic care during pregnancy.

Sam Lewis asked:
Why Is Proper Chiropractic Health So Essential?
Chiropractic health outlined
Chiropractic health can be directly defined as the focus on relationship between body structure and function of especially the spinal area. Each and every movement and function in your body is controlled by nerves with special endings. These endings originate from the brain in a muscular bundle known as the spine. The spinal nerve travels down the spine into spinal vertebrae. The spinal vertebrae is the genuine link between the brain, backbone and organs or body parts. Nerve endings may incur injury in the shape of pinching or strangling in the event of vertebrae stress or misalignment that will lead to impulse decreases to organs or body parts which in turn will cause gigantic discomfort or pain.
Consulting a specialist- Its imperative that you talk to a consultant in the shape of a Chiropractor as quickly as any back, backbone or associated problem signs or symptoms pop-up. These specialist doctors have relevant qualifications and training to successfully identify, investigate and treat subluxations. Physical exam, x-rays, neurological- and orthopaedic assessments could be required during the consultation. Extra recommendation could also be furnished in the shape of nutritional and rehabilitation programmes as part of treatment process.
Vertebral subluxation outlined
Vertebral subluxation is outlined as vertebrae malformation, resulting in nerve message disconnections between brain and organs or systems. The malformation may result in discomfort, imbalances, fatigue, immune deficiency and general pain. Vertebral subluxation is sometimes misdiagnosed and can most likely take anything from months to years to show any visible symptoms or signs. Should the subluxation be left untreated, it’ll undoubtedly lead to a condition known as repetitive strain wounds or RSI.
What causes subluxations?
A selection of factors contribute to subluxation development including stress, poor nutrition, bio-mechanical issues, bad posture, overextension and psychological factors.
Kinds of Chiropractic health issues
Chiropractic health and associate problem signs include but are not limited to slipped discs, back pain, headaches, migraine, neck, should, hip and leg pains, arthritis, sciatica, whiplash, knee and foot issues.
What are the treatment alternatives available for incessant strain injuries?
Repetitive strain wounds or RSI are successfully and simply treated with a combo of palpation talents and instruments. The treatment focuses on restoration of nerve impulse functions by rectifying spinal bone malformations.
Chiropractic health and kids
Chiropractic health issues are absolutely not restricted to only adults. Subluxation can raise it’s unpleasant head at any life stage including birth. It is so imperative for folks or guardian to have newborns as well as toddlers inspected by chiropractor continually, in particular at birth. Early detection can substantially increases a childs’ possibilities of functioning and living normally. The size of damage can also be reduced noticeably with early diagnoses and treatment.
Ease of treatment
Medical studies have demonstrated that adults who suffer from chiropractic health issues could have potentially ceased further problem development of damage, if correct chiropractic care had been obtained at a tender age. Kids’ spines are more easy to adjust when put next to kids or adults with similar issues. This can be attributed to the youngsters slack and relaxed muscles, making general diagnoses and treatment so far easier. Adjustment times are also shorter with children than adults.

john parsons asked:
Chiropractic, meaning literally ‘done by hand’, was originally founded in the early part of the 19th century
An early advert (1904) said
‘Nerves are the life – where there is disease you will find an interrupted supply of nerve force
All diseases are prolonged until the pressure upon the nerves leading to the parts affected is freed from the pressure.
The pressure is caused by the luxation or displacement (partial or complete) of the bones, or by the contraction of the muscles drawing on or across the nerves.
The manner of removing the pressure is done by the hands of the operator. The muscles, nerves and bones of the patient are manipulated in such a way as to adjust the system properly to itself’
is this still needed today?
consider this:
Current state of health in the USA
50 percent of Americans will have some form of cancer in their lifetime.
•
One in six Americans is either pre-diabetic or diabetic.
•
Sixty-six percent of Americans are overweight.
•
Over ten million Americans are taking anti-depressants.
•
50 percent of people over 85 will have Alzheimer’s Disease.
•
Someone dies of heart disease every 34 seconds.
•
One in six Americans suffers from an Anxiety Disorder.
Chiropractic at Parsons Chiropractic
Dr Parsons has many years of experience adjusting all ages for all types of spinal and structural problems. Dr Parsons utilizes the Koren Specific Technique, a low force directional adjusting protocol. In simpler terms it means there are no heavy manipulations, no ‘cracking sounds’ and no discomfort whatsoever. This new method works with all ages, from newborns to the elderly, even people with Osteoporosis or other degenerative spinal conditions. The key to successful use of the KST method is the Arthrostim adjusting tool. This hand held device delivers precise low force adjustments with a frequency of 12-14 light taps per second. Dr Parsons has been getting fantastic results working with patients with all types of different conditions using a very light, very safe and most importantly a very effective technique.
Conditions that respond well;
• All types of back and neck pain respond well. There is no rotation or ‘cracking’ of the neck
• Shoulder pain and arm pain respond very well
• Sciatica (leg pain)
• Headache, dizziness, sinus congestion, brain ‘fog’ and any other conditions that are caused by misalignments or restrictions in the cranial bones (the bones of the skull)
• Hump patterns at the base of the neck.
The hump pattern is extremely unhealthy, it is a lump of restricted swollen muscles and vertebrae, it is not only unsightly but can lead to health problems ranging from heart problems to breathing conditions.
• Fatigue
• Sleeplessness
• ADHD and other learning disorders in children
• Colic in infants
It is also important to point out that getting regular chiropractic care does not just treat disorders and illnesses, regular chiropractic care ensures that the nervous system, the most important system in the body is working efficiently and to it’s highest potential. When the nervous system is healthy the body is healthy, natural immune system resistance is improved, digestion is more efficient and muscle is more toned and coordinated. In other words your body can be the best it can be with regular chiropractic care and chiropractic care has never been easier or more enjoyable. The Arthrostim adjusting instrument and Koren Specific Technique is truly a revolution in healing.

Joseph Troyer asked:
Irvine chiropractic services are offered to residents in the heart of Irvine, California where healthcare professionals offer a comprehensive approach to wellness. Chiropractic Care has been performed over the centuries, with written record dating back to the time of Hippocrates, who lived from 460 – 357 BC.
Chiropractic manipulation can assist with the relief of many conditions, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), allergies, headache’s, pinched nerves, lower back pain, upper back pain, neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, slipped disc’s, scoliosis, whiplash and more. These conditions all cause discomfort and pain in varying degrees and can usually be easily corrected with a course of chiropractic manipulation that requires no painful operations or medications.
Your Irvine chiropractic healthcare professional offers treatment in the form of correcting vertebral sub-luxation. The word sub-luxation derives from the Latin word ’sub’ meaning minor or slight and the word ‘luxate’ which means misalignment. A vertebral subluxation not only affects the positioning of the bone, but can have far reaching effects on the nervous system, the muscles and the release of chemicals known as kinins which cause inflammation in the affected area.
The most common and critical application of chiropractic therapy is for severe disorders and injuries such as lower back pain, neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, slipped disc’s and scoliosis. Chiropractic therapy is perhaps the most widely known and accepted method to treat these ailments.
Very often a course of Shoulder Pain treatments are required over a period of time. The first treatment is followed by several days of rest and then is followed up by consecutive treatments with longer periods in between sessions. Additional treatments including massage, exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles and even physical therapy. Adopting the correct posture is a very important part of looking after your spinal health as misalignment places strain on the muscular system instead of the body being supported by the bone structure.
Most therapy sessions will involve a series of spinal manipulations and some combination of exercises and movements of the body and spine to garner favorable results. Assisted by trained chiropractic professionals, a patient will undergo these sessions over the course of weeks and months to facilitate the healing and mending process.
Before beginning any kind of alternative medicine sessions you should thoroughly research the therapy and the practitioners. Knowing the credentials, experience and background of your therapist is highly important to ensuring you get the best possible results and maintain your own safety.
It’s highly important that you do background research on your chiropractic therapy of choice. Researching the doctors and professionals you will be seeing and checking their credentials, experience and qualifications. Knowing this information in advance is the only way to make a truly informed decision to guarantee that you receive the utmost care and relief for your needs.
Irvine chiropractic services are particularly important to patients who have been involved in car accidents. Whiplash injuries are tricky in the fact that symptoms can appear weeks, sometimes months after the initial accident. If they are not treated in time, permanent damage to ligaments, nerves and connective tissues can result, causing stiffness and pain to the sufferer.

The most common and critical application of chiropractic therapy is for severe disorders and injuries such as lower back pain, neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, slipped disc’s and scoliosis. Chiropractic therapy is perhaps the most widely known and accepted method to treat these ailments.
Very often a course of Shoulder Pain treatments are required over a period of time. The first treatment is followed by several days of rest and then is followed up by consecutive treatments with longer periods in between sessions. Additional treatments including massage, exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles and even physical therapy. Adopting the correct posture is a very important part of looking after your spinal health as misalignment places strain on the muscular system instead of the body being supported by the bone structure.
Most therapy sessions will involve a series of spinal manipulations and some combination of exercises and movements of the body and spine to garner favorable results. Assisted by trained chiropractic professionals, a patient will undergo these sessions over the course of weeks and months to facilitate the healing and mending process.
Before beginning any kind of alternative medicine sessions you should thoroughly research the therapy and the practitioners. Knowing the credentials, experience and background of your therapist is highly important to ensuring you get the best possible results and maintain your own safety.
It’s highly important that you do background research on your chiropractic therapy of choice. Researching the doctors and professionals you will be seeing and checking their credentials, experience and qualifications. Knowing this information in advance is the only way to make a truly informed decision to guarantee that you receive the utmost care and relief for your needs.
Irvine chiropractic services are particularly important to patients who have been involved in car accidents. Whiplash injuries are tricky in the fact that symptoms can appear weeks, sometimes months after the initial accident. If they are not treated in time, permanent damage to ligaments, nerves and connective tissues can result, causing stiffness and pain to the sufferer.

Philip Cordova asked:
Do you need to seek out chiropractic care following an auto accident? My answer is a resounding “yes!” Why is it so important? Why can’t you just rest and take the medications that were prescribed by your medical doctor? Is the insurance company going to give you a hard time about it?
The reason why chiropractic care is so important after an accident has little to do with you being in pain (although it’s good for that too). A vertebra that moves out of its normal alignment can wreak havoc on your neck and its associated nerves. You may not be in a lot of pain immediately following the accident, but research indicates that most people will experience a bulk of their symptoms after a few days.
Once you start to feel symptoms, this is a good indicator that something has moved out of place, and likely that you’re experiencing a sprain/strain kind of injury. Sprain and strain don’t sound horrible, but really they are describing tears of various tissues in your body. The severity of the tear will indicate the type of treatment you should probably consider first. The chiropractor can help make the determination.
Eventually, your body will heal with scar tissue. Scar tissue is more sensitive than the previously uninjured tissue that you had within you before. Once scar tissue sets up (this takes about 3 weeks following the trauma), it will become increasingly difficult to get you back to your pre-accident state. Receiving some chiropractic adjustments to your spine will help assure that your spine is in its best position as that scar tissue begins to form. The better your spine is when all of this occurs, the more likely you can return pain-free following your therapy and treatment.
So why can’t you just rest and take the medications? That may be your best first course of treatment for a couple of days following your accident, but certainly can’t be the best choice long term. The medications are there to help you with pain, to help you get through the difficulty of the initial phase of your injury. However, they’re certainly not fixing anything.
In addition to the chiropractic adjustment, you can typically receive additional therapies that will help your muscles and other soft tissue heal more quickly than just “resting” alone. The additional therapies also help with pain, swelling, and inflammation and can be a big help in the speed of your recovery.
Will your auto insurance or health insurance company give you any trouble? You have insurance for just this type of situation, when you need health care and you can’t afford to pay for it yourself. Your health insurance company may have issue if the accident wasn’t your fault and the other person should be paying for it (or their insurance), but otherwise you shouldn’t have trouble here.
Your auto insurance policy will determine the amount of coverage and just how much help the company has to give. Still, it’s your body and your health and you’ll need to make sure your injuries are taken care of following the accident. Where you will have trouble is if months have gone by and you haven’t gone to see any doctors, just hoping it will go away. Then you decide to tell your insurance company that they need to pay for it all. That doesn’t go over too well.
If you’ve been in an auto accident, it’s a good idea to see a chiropractor and do it as quickly as possible once you realize you’ve been injured. The faster you get some type of treatment, usually the better your results.

Alex Levin asked:
Background
A health care profession that dates back to ancient Greece, chiropractic is a hands-on, drug-free therapy that is intended to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal complaints such as back pain, joint pain, sports injuries and headaches. Chiropractic treatment puts special emphasis on the spine under the hypothesis that musculoskeletal disorders affect the body via the nervous system. A chiropractic physician’s primary tools are their hands, which are used to improve joint mobility by applying controlled force. In addition, chiropractors are trained to counsel patients on various aspects of everyday health and lifestyle decisions, including diet and exercise.
The Short Answer:
So is chiropractic a legitimate medical science? Does it work?? The short answer is yes, chiropractic can be an effective, and cost-effective, way to treat certain ailments, as long as you’re being treated by a qualified chiropractor.
The Long Answer:
According to the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), “chiropractic treatment is both safe and effective” for certain musculoskeletal ailments, including neck pain, headaches, and in particular, back pain. In a study reported in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, patients with chronic lower back pain who went to see chiropractors had quadruple the satisfaction scores of those who were treated by family physicians.
Although chiropractic is becoming more and more accepted in mainstream medicine, it remains a controversial topic. Medical doctors consider chiropractors to be practitioners of Complementary and Alternative Care (CAM), a label chiropractors reject. One of the main reasons chiropractic is so controversial is that some of its practitioners, most notably its founder, D.D. Palmer, believed that all illnesses can be cured through chiropractic treatment. Unfortunately, the science on this just doesn’t pan out. If you come across a chiropractor making similar claims, such as having the ability to treat diabetes solely through chiropractic care, run the other way! According to the National Institute of Health, “the effects of chiropractic treatment on nonspinal conditions, such as high blood pressure or ear infections, have not been scientifically proven.”
Is it Safe?
For the most part, the answer is yes, but any risks depend on the specific type of chiropractic treatment used. For example, side effects from chiropractic adjustments can include temporary headaches, tiredness, or discomfort in parts of the body that were treated. The likelihood of serious complications, such as stroke, appears to be extremely low and related to the type of adjustment performed and the part of the body treated. The risk of complications increases in cervical-spine or neck manipulations and affects 1 out of every 500,000 people.
If you are considering seeing a chiropractor, inform your current health care provider of any treatments you are getting or considering.
When Should I See a Chiropractor?
If you experience unexplained pain or chronic pain (pain that lasts longer than it should) in your joints or muscles, you should see a chiropractor. As a general rule, you should not see a chiropractor if you are not experiencing pain or if you are concerned with an aesthetic flaw, such as abnormal curvature in your neck. Many people do not have a “normal” neck curve, according to Dr. Homola, author of Inside Chiropractic: A Patient’s Guide, and that doesn’t mean they require treatment or that they will develop a problem.
To sum up, chiropractic can be a safe, affordable and effective alternative to conventional medicine for many ailments. However, chiropractic care should ideally be accompanied by medical care to ensure that chiropractic treatment is the best treatment. When you’re being cared for by a chiropractor and an MD, you get the best of both worlds.

Alan King asked:
It used to be a time when people would only seek treatment if they experienced an actual event – aches, pains, apparent illness, or an obvious health risk, which prompted them to seek medical attention. Today, more and more people are focusing on staying healthy and preventive maintenance as a way to nip any potential problems in the bud. Maximized living through quality chiropractic care focuses on preventing problems from occurring in the first place. No, it’s not some magical cure; it’s using the common sense approach through healthy living and lifestyle changes for your mind and body.
Looking back at society as a whole, if your great-grandmother had a condition, such as heart disease, your grandmother, and your mother, it was just a given that you too would suffer from the same ailment, but it doesn’t have to be this way. The cycle can be broken with preventative maintenance through maximized living methods.
If you take a further look back, you will see that before there we had prescription medicines, herbs and plants were used to heal everything – it was all they had and it is still widely used in other countries such as China and Asia and for good reason – a healthy lifestyle equals a long life. In other words, if you don’t digest toxins and harmful chemicals, you don’t subject yourself to the side effects of such.
Health care professionals or anyone involved in the health care industry would agree that it is much easier to prevent illness than it is to cure it. Not to mention the emotional and physical affects that a major illness and/or prolonged use of certain medications or treatments can have on a person. While there are certain situations that cannot be prevented, taking care of yourself – your whole self, can drastically reduce many of the medical problems that we many view as common.
Our society is starting to open their eyes the power of health and wellness programs, which is evident by the increase purchasing over the counter vitamins and health supplements and even health club memberships.
With the increased awareness of preventative maintenance, many are turning to the holistic medicine approach and opting not to take potentially dangerous drugs or undergoing expensive and sometimes unnecessary surgeries. Instead, they are choosing healthy eating, regular check ups, exercising, and focusing on staying healthy.
Many people feel like they don’t have any signs or symptoms of being sick, so why bother with supplements and eating a little healthier. It’s not until an unfortunate event occurs, forcing them to change their ways, that they reflect on the things they would have done differently.
It’s never too late to change your habits. No matter your age, your weight, or your bad habits. You can start on the road to living healthy today.

Cassidy Williams asked:
Chiropractic is a Greek term meaning “Treatment by Hand”. It is a branch of health care specializing in the correction of biomechanical disorders of the spinal column and peripheral joint system. They can diagnose and treat mechanical disorders of the spine and musculoskeletal system with the intention of affecting the nervous system and improving health. Chiropractic uses manual treatments including spinal adjustment and other joint and soft-tissue manipulation.
Chiropractic care is not an alternative to traditional medical care but a complement to it. It is the aim of chiropractic care to work together with other health professionals in a multi-disciplinary fashion to the benefit of the patient. Chiropractic care is considered drugless and conservative. When the spine suffers imbalance, our quality of health is also affected. By choosing chiropractic care you are choosing to help your body heal itself without the use of medication, drugs or unnecessary chemicals. Chiropractic care is a more natural approach to health care and can offer you a healthier body, not just a healthier spine.
Doctors of Chiropractic can help to correct these problems faced by people of all ages and walks of life. Doctors of Chiropractic can help patients with headache, migraine, neck pain, stiffness of the body, shoulder Pain, stiffness of the joints, tension, wrist pain, arm pain, elbow pain, back pain, hip pain, knee pain, ankle pain, leg pain, improper posture, scoliosis, and insomnia.
Most people are disabled or have limited mobility caused by lower back pain. The British Medical Research Council Trial published in the British Medical Journal in June 1990 showed good results from chiropractic care. The study showed excellent short and long-term results for chiropractic patients, for patients with both acute and chronic pain, for patients with moderate or severe pain. The effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of chiropractic management of low-back pain is excellent. The economic efficiency of chiropractic care for low-back pain compared with medical care. The safety of chiropractic care is also excellent along with the higher satisfaction levels expressed by patients of chiropractors.
Neck pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint. The Quebec Task Force Report has the main issues regarding the management of neck pain. The Report supports the safety and effectiveness of cervical manipulation in treating neck pain. It is the Task Force consensus that the use of short term spinal manipulation and mobilization by trained persons are the most helpful in treating uncomplicated neck pain.
Many people suffer from severe headaches. There is a good body of research studying the cervical spine and headaches. Some studies include the Controlled Trial of Cervical Manipulation for Migraine, Australian, New Zealand journal of Medicine, Parker et al, 1978. One of the first clinical trials ever conducted on spinal manipulation and migraines. Comparing chiropractic manipulation, medical manipulation and mobilization by physical therapists studies showed that while all groups of patients benefited from treatment, chiropractic patients benefited most on all measures (complete cure, frequency of attack, mean duration, mean disability, mean intensity of pain) a follow-up study showed that the patients who improved maintained this benefit after 20 months.
