    Chiropractic Care

    Therapeutics found that chiropractic patients experienced therapeutic benefits four weeks after stopping receiving chiropractic care. This was in contrast to patients who were prescribed medication. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, 22% of patients who received chiropractic care reported a greater than 90% reduction in migraine attacks. 49% also reported significant reductions in the intensity of each migraine.
