Helping Bipolar, Seizure, and Sleep Disorders and Migraine Headaches

A 23-year-old male patient with rapid-cycling bipolar disorder, sleep disorder, seizure disorder, neck and back pain, and migraine headaches entered into a chiropractic study.  After 1 month of care, the patient reported an absence of seizures and manic episodes and improved sleep patterns. After 4 months of care, seizures and manic episodes remained absent and migraine headaches were reduced from 3 per week to 2 per month. After 7 months of care, the patient reported the complete absence of symptoms. Eighteen months later, the patient remains asymptomatic.

A Study on how chiropractic helped an expecting mother with her migraines.

This case study  from Joel Alcantara, D.C. and Martine Cossette, D.C.  provides supporting evidence on the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care during pregnancy with a chief complaint of migraine headaches. 

A 24 yr-old gravid female with chronic migraine headaches since age 12 years presented for chiropractic care. Previous care included osteopathy, physical therapy, medications and massage with unsuccessful outcome. Medical care consisted of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication with codeine at the maximum amount permitted during a pregnancy (i.e., 1000mg per day) as well as caffeine intake through coffee to potentiate the medication. This resulted in only minor and temporary relief.

No more migranes

“Chiropractic has changed my life for the better. I used to suffer from terrible migraines that would end up with me having to miss time from work. The frequency of my migraines has gone down considerably and when I do get them, they are not nearly as bad. I used to wake up with a headache almost every morning; I no longer wake up with headaches. I had terrible seasonal allergies. This has also improved. I don’t get nearly as sick as I used to. I have also found that I catch fewer colds and in general get sick less often. I now look forward to getting adjusted. It gives me a boost of energy and I always feel better after an adjustment.”
