-
Spinal manipulation is generally accepted as a treatment for not only cervicogenic headaches, which may be caused by tension, whiplash, disc disease or osteoarthritis in the cervical spine, but neck pain and back pain.
-
Approximately 80 patients with chronic cervicogenic headaches were randomly assigned to receive either 8 or 16 treatments of spinal manipulation or light massage over an 8-week period.
-
In this study, researchers initially examined how different doses of spinal manipulation or light massage treatments affected patients with cervicogenic headaches, which refer to a group of headaches where the cervical spine (neck) is the primary structural source of pain.
-
However, spinal manipulation did appear to be more advantageous than light massage therapy at relieving the cervicogenic headaches.
-
According to the study's findings, spinal manipulation reduced the average number of cervicogenic headaches in half when compared to light massage therapy, which utilizes more gradual movements to decrease muscle tension, increase blood flow and circulation, and provide pain relief.
