Adjusting the vertebral subluxation in this region may eliminate or diminish the severity of the migraine. . In the treatment of the pediatric patient with headache, there is none specific vertebral subluxation site that one must expect to find as the cause of the disorder. The chiropractor should evaluate the entire spine for the vertebral subluxations(s). The purpose of a specific adjustment is to optimize function (e.g., neuropathophysiology and myopathology). To increase a more positive clinical outcome, the chiropractor should follow two fundamental principles: be more specific in your spinal analysis and adjustment, and do not perform multiple adjustments during the visit (less is sometimes more).
