Those in the field of chiropractic care take pride in the fact that they are up-to-date on the latest research. The medical community, on the other hand, cannot claim the same. In many cases, they are still using outdated methods to treat even the most simple things, such as migraine headaches.
In April of 2013, a discussion was held regarding the impact of cranio-cervical syndrome (dealing with the sensitivity of the human neck and how this affects cerebrospinal fluid) and how this impacts patients throughout the United States. The conclusion was that people are still suffering because of being improperly diagnosed or getting ineffective relief for their problems.
Migraine Headaches
One of these medical issues was that of migraine headaches. Medical experts cannot seem to agree on the cause for or source of migraines. They are just beginning to recognize the existence of atlas subluxation (the misalignment of the top bone of the vertebrae). It may take them a while longer to see the impact this has on their patients.

However, upper cervical chiropractors have known that this can be the cause of migraines for many years, and they have provided relief for patients accordingly. Patients that have cranio-cervical syndrome have been receiving therapy from chiropractors for 80 years, although it was referred to as atlas subluxation complex syndrome.
How Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care Helps
The medical community often miss out on considering a natural, long-lasting approach with no side effects. By seeking the care of an upper cervical chiropractor, a person will be getting the best and latest care available. It can take only a ¼ of a millimeter subluxation (misalignment) of the top two bones of the upper neck. This can put undue pressure on the brainstem that will cause the body and brain not to communicate properly, leading to various health conditions, such as migraines. Once this is corrected, migraines may be a thing of the past.
