🧠 New Research: Spinal Manipulation Cuts Headache Medication Needs!

Struggling with tension headaches and tired of relying on meds? A 2024 study in Health Science Reports found adults receiving chiropractic spinal manipulation (SMT) were 54% less likely to get butalbital prescriptions (1.7% vs. 3.8%) and 56% less likely to develop medication overuse headaches (0.5% vs. 1.2%) compared to those who didn't.​

This supports guidelines favoring non-drug options like spinal manipulation therapy for safer, effective relief.

At Clifton Chiropractic, we specialize in these treatments to help reduce headache frequency and intensity — without the pill dependency. Ready to ditch the meds?

Ever wondered what the difference is between Dry Needling and Acupuncture?

At Clifton Chiropractic, we offer both, and while they may look similar, they serve slightly different purposes:

✅ Dry Needling focuses on releasing tight muscles, trigger points and relieving pain by targeting specific areas of the musculoskeletal system. It’s a modern, evidence-based technique used to improve motion and decrease soreness from muscle dysfunction or overuse. Dry needling often brings a quick pinch, pressure, muscle twitch or cramp at the knot, and post-workout soreness after.

🌿 Acupuncture, on the other hand, is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. It uses fine needles placed along energy pathways (meridians) to restore balance, support healing, and improve overall wellness—both physical and emotional. Acupuncture feels gentler—light pressure, mild warmth or tingle—with a relaxing vibe and little soreness.

We offer both at our clinic to match your pain relief and wellness needs. Message us to find your best fit! Whether your goal is to get back to daily activities pain-free or support whole-body harmony, we can recommend the best approach for you.

📅 Schedule your visit today and experience the difference firsthand!

🏋🏼‍♀️ STUDENT ATHLETE 🏋️‍♂️

We worked with a student athlete yesterday who could lift heavy (very heavy 😳) — but couldn’t perform a bodyweight squat without pain. The issue? Restricted hip mobility causing the low back to compensate.

When hips don’t move, the spine takes the load… and that’s when irritation starts.

Before we load heavy, we:
✔ Restore hip range of motion
✔ Correct squat mechanics
✔ Build core and glute control

This is how we keep young athletes strong and injury-resistant.

If your athlete has pain during lifts, don’t ignore it — it’s usually a movement issue, not just soreness.

🌟 Real Results, Real Relief! 🌟

For years, this patient struggled with persistent lower back pain mainly on the right side — aggravated by sitting too long or even simple daily tasks like drying hair. She relied on lidocaine patches and NSAIDs twice daily just to make it through the day.

When she began chiropractic care at our clinic, her pain was constant — averaging 8/10 and peaking at 10+/10.

Today, after consistent treatment, reporting no back pain for 3 months, has stopped all NSAID use, and is back to doing everyday activities comfortably.

Chiropractic care is about more than temporary relief — it’s about restoring movement, improving function, and helping your body heal naturally.

💪 If lower back pain is limiting your life, schedule an appointment today and discover how chiropractic care can help you get back to feeling your best!

Feeling every step in your knees lately?
You don’t have to “just live with it.”

Chiropractic care can help address the way your hips, knees, and ankles move together, while gentle therapies like soft tissue work, dry needling, and specific strengthening exercises support the muscles that protect your knee joint.

Comment below if you’ve ever had knee pain successfully relieved in the past — and share what made the biggest difference for you.

🌿 Patient Success Stories – Vagus Nerve Reset

Last Friday, we treated four patients using electrical therapy acupuncture focused on a Vagus Nerve Reset.

🧠 Three of the four patients had Alpha-gal sensitivity, each with different symptoms and responses.

⸻

✨ Patient 1
• Had not eaten beef in 6 years
• Prior exposure resulted in vomiting

➡️ After treatment, the patient reported being able to eat beef this week without vomiting or other reactions.

⸻

✨ Patient 2
• Previously experienced leg pain and other symptoms when consuming beef and dairy

➡️ After treatment, the patient reported eating beef and dairy without any leg pain or other symptoms.

⸻

✨ Patient 3
• Was able to eat beef prior to treatment
• Experienced constant achy joint pain

➡️ This week, the patient reported noticeable improvement in joint pain.

⸻

✨ Patient 4
• Primary concerns were digestive issues
• Symptoms included bloating and constipation

➡️ Following treatment, the patient reported improved digestion and reduced bloating and constipation.

⸻

💚 While individual results vary, these cases highlight how supporting vagus nerve function and nervous system regulation may help the body move out of stress mode and into a state where healing and balance can occur.

📌 Our goal is not to diagnose, treat, or cure conditions—but to help the nervous system function optimally so the body can better adapt and respond.
