I've had mixed feedback about the value of chiropractors in treating migraines. Has anyone had any experience in this area? And is there any evidence out there that supports anecdotes.

Hi

I have had intractable debilitating migraines and occipital neuralgia for 25 years along with status migrainous attacks lasting 5-8 days. I have tried everything including medication many two to three times, Botox ,massage,acupuncture,vitamins,physical therapy,etc but a year ago I tried a different kind of chiropractic called N.U.C.C.A or ?upper cervical and it has helped a lot,there are still bad ones and bad days ,because my migraines are so severe but I often get immediate relief not only with migraine but bowel,depression fibromyalgia because it aligns your spine and in a gentle way its very weird you can barely feel him touch you. the dr I see has a long wait list and people come from all over the world to see him. I also use oxygen machine and that helps a lot also,I think it is covered by Medicare and ice packs are a must too. I hope this helps someone.
