Brief Summary:
A small number of chiropractors, who align only the atlas C-1, or "top" vertebra in the spine, practice the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association (NUCCA) atlas correction procedure. This procedure uses a precise, non-invasive, gentle touch technique to correct misalignment of the atlas. Although NUCCA practitioners have long used this procedure in the treatment of headache, it has not been formally studied using clinical trials. There is some data indicating that NUCCA correction can increase intracranial compliance. This intracranial compliance can be measured by a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study before and then after a NUCCA procedure. In this study, the investigators hope to show that the correction of an atlas misalignment will increase intracranial compliance in subjects with migraine.
