Subluxations are tiny distortions in your body that interfere with the communications between your brain, nerves and body parts. This can create intense stress in your system.
Chiropractors correct subluxations so your energies flow more freely, communication returns and your body stress levels drop. No matter what the disease or condition you are healthier and happier when your subluxations are corrected. (1)
There are many studies showing the benefits of chiropractic for migraine sufferers. For example, in one study chiropractic care resulted in a reduction of 90% of migraine episodes with the length of each migraine reduced by 38%. In addition, medication use dropped 94% and other symptoms associated with migraine such as nausea, vomiting, photophobia and phonophobia (light and sound sensitivity) were reduced. (2)
In another study, a 28-year-old woman with 15 years of severe migraines, irregular menstrual cycles and inability to conceive began chiropractic care. Within two months the migraines completely ceased. A regular menstrual cycle began 7 weeks into care and within 6 months she became pregnant. (3)
A ten-year-old girl was unable to go to school due to her six times a week migraines. Three years of medical care afforded no relief. After five chiropractic adjustments she was migraine-free. (4)
Anyone suffering from headaches of any type would do well to see their chiropractor to ensure that they are free of subluxations. If there are subluxations, no amount of drugs will correct them—a chiropractic adjustment is essential.

For 18 years a woman suffered with diarrhea, pelvic pain and reduced genital sensitivity. Because of reduced genital sensitivity, she had been unable to experience orgasm and had pelvic pain during intercourse. MDs treated her with an appendectomy for abdominal pain (appendix was normal), partial hysterectomy and left oophorectomy (tube removal). In addition, three exploratory bowel surgeries for chronic diarrhea, pain, rectal bleeding and mucous discharge and four bladder surgeries were performed without resolution of her problems. Within eight weeks of her first chiropractic adjustment there was a complete resolution of symptoms including pelvic pain and diarrhea. Genital sensitivity improved and she was able to achieve orgasm on a regular basis.
