Narrative: A 55-year-old female patient presented to my office for treatment of HC of four years’ duration, requiring daily indomethacin use to control her severe headaches.
The patient was treated using sacro-occipital technique (SOT) protocols and cranial/TMJ therapies which I describe. At the three-month mark in care (six office visits), the patient reported that she had not experienced a headache in three weeks and was no longer taking indomethacin.
Quantitative outcomes measures confirmed her subjective report. The literature indicates that Chiropractic care for headaches carries low risk and may provide benefit.
At one- and two-year follow-up evaluations, this patient remained free of headaches.
