Evidence from Duke University: A report from Duke University's Evidence-Based Practice Research Center found that cervical spine manipulation was associated with immediate improvement in headache severity for cervicogenic headaches and provided sustained improvement in headache frequency and severity compared to soft tissue therapies​ (LV ChiroBethlehem)​.

Chiropractic Spinal Manipulative Therapy (CSMT): A single-blinded, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial showed that CSMT could reduce the average number of migraine days per month by at least 25%, with these benefits maintained at 3, 6, and 12 months follow-up​ (https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/5/11/e008095)​.
