A large multi-center clinical trial published in The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics compared three options for chronic tension-type headaches:
🔹 Chiropractic spinal manipulation (2x/week for 6 weeks)
💊 Amitriptyline (a common prescription)
🌀 Placebo (detuned ultrasound)
📉 After 6 weeks:
✅ Spinal manipulation patients saw a 52% reduction in headache frequency
💊 Medication patients only saw a 38% reduction
❌ Placebo patients improved just 17%
⏳ 4 weeks later:
✅ Chiropractic patients maintained a 44% reduction
💊 Medication patients dropped to 25%
⚠️ Medication group experienced drowsiness, dry mouth, and upset stomach.
✅ Chiropractic group had zero reported side effects and the highest satisfaction scores.
💬 “Spinal manipulation was not only more effective, but better tolerated than pharmacologic management.”
