Chiropractic care is a commonly used therapeutic intervention for the treatment of pain disorders, and some smaller studies have shown that it might be helpful for migraines. This pilot study will use a comprehensive model of chiropractic treatment which can include soft tissue mobilization, spinal manipulation, and postural and spinal stabilization and correctional exercises. Specific Aims: Aim #1 - Determine the feasibility of conducting a randomized control trial (RCT) of chiropractic care in adult women with migraine. Aim #2 - To provide preliminary data on the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care on migraine frequency, severity, duration, and medication use in adult women with migraine. Aim #3 - To provide preliminary estimates of the effects of chiropractic on disability, health-related quality of life, and psychosocial well-being.
