Hi, @cbogoros. Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Glad to hear you've found something that is helping your headaches.

Other members have mentioned alternative or complementary treatments in the Headache & Migraine support group. It is always a good idea to talk to your doctor about complementary or alternative therapies you're considering and do your research about their effectiveness.

To add to your research, I found this publication on chiropractic and headache from the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics. It's published by Elsevier, which you may know publishes many medical journals:

- Evidence-Based Guidelines for the Chiropractic Treatment of Adults With Headache

I appreciate the advice that fellow Connect member Quazar offers. This discussion is part of the Connect Headache & Migraine support group and the Just Want to Talk support group. The member's health concern was new daily persistent headache (NDPH):

- How to Avoid Quacks and Snake Oil Treatments

Fortunately, more and more academic medical centers and headache specialists are open to discussing and integrating complementary medicine. I hope your primary care doctor or your neurologist specializing in headache is someone with whom you can speak openly about your interest in and use of integrative and complementary medicine. Does your medical center have an integrative medicine department?
