Though it is of course to be considered ,there are other types of migraines. We must not forget the mechanical aspect of migraines. Many migraines are due to jaw and spine problems . Cranial osteopathy can deal with these. The jaw aspect is due to mis- aligned teeth, sometimes teeth are missing and the bite is out of line. Sometimes after extensive dental treatment, people suffer from migraines because when opening their mouth wide during treatment the jaws joints are affected. These are two instances but I am sure there are many other mechanical reasons such as whip lash etc...

Good points -- that's why we should be paying the (competent) doctors big

bucks for looking so carefully at us.

 

The few osteopaths i've met have mostly been really good.
