Findings: Spinal manipulation was found to have a small effect in decreasing both days with migraine and pain intensity.
Conclusion: Study authors propose spinal manipulative therapy as a potential non-pharmacologic approach to migraine treatment.
Implications: Results from this preliminary study create directions for future migraine research and have clinical implications for the utilizing conservative care for migraine treatment.
