Chiropractic Effective for Cervicogenic Headaches. 53 people who had cervicogenic headaches according to the standard of the International Headache Society were involved in this study. Approximately half of the patients received chiropractic adjustments while the other half had deep friction massage and low level laser massage. Each patient was examined prior to receiving treatment and again at week 5. Despite this, levels of disability from LBP are increasing.
Many medical therapies are of questionable validity or are clearly inadequate.
Our reading of the literature suggests that chiropractic is safer than medical management of low-back pain. Providers of health care delivery services all study the same body. However, we use a different approach in how we take care of the patient. Very briefly, the medical doctor uses prescriptive drugs, emergency treatment or surgery. The doctor of chiropractic is a primary care doctor.
