Hi this is Oakdale MN Chiropractor Dr. Ben Smetana.  I just found this interesting article in the Doctors Resource Center on our website.  The article looks at how foods, specifically fat, can have an impact on chronic pain levels ; in this case they were looking at headache pain.  Unfortunately, the author neglected to mention chiropractic care when looking at complimentary therapies for providing relief.
