One out of every 5 new chiropractic patients come to a chiropractor’s office like Satterwhite Chiropractic because of headache. Headache patients comprise a significant part of the chiropractic practice, and that is true for Satterwhite Chiropractic. Chiropractors many times diagnose and participate in interdisciplinary care of headache patients with other healthcare providers.

For the most benefit, a new study discovered that 18 SMT visits compared with 1, 6, and 12 visits, is most effective, lowering cervicogenic headache days by 50%. Compared with slight massage, SMT also brought about 3 more cervicogenic headache-free days a month. (2)
