Upper cervical "specific" chiropractor treating migraines?

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.
