Investigators have found that upper cervical adjustments produce significant, measurable results in patients with non-migraine headache (tension-type headache and cervicogenic headache).As part of the analysis, patients underwent chiropractic adjustments to the atlas for correction of vertebral subluxation using National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association (NUCCA) protocol.

Findings showed that “there was statistically significant improvement in postural measurement, X-ray measurements, and in all wellness categories from pre-treatment to post-treatment. Time series analysis of the visual analog pain scale assessments showed a significant reduction in pain intensity within two weeks of treatment for those who received only a single treatment and that the pain intensity for the single-treatment group decreased by approximately 75 percent over the study period.”
