Study of the Month

A report released in 2001 by researchers at the Duke University Evidence-Based Practice Center in Durham, NC, found that spinal manipulation (adjustments) resulted in almost immediate improvement for those headaches caused by neck problems, and had significantly fewer side effects and longer-lasting relief of tension-type headaches than commonly prescribed medications. The study was published in the March/April issue of the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics.
