My son started having migraines when he was about 3 years old. I thought he had a brain tumor, so I took him to his pediatrician. She asked me a series of questions, things like: Do they wake him up at night? Does he vomit? And the answers were no.

My son started having migraines when he was about 3 years old. I thought he had a brain tumor, so I took him to his pediatrician. She asked me a series of questions, things like: Do they wake him up at night? Does he vomit? And the answers were no.
She said, “Some kids just have headaches.” Several years and many ibuprofen tablets later, he started vomiting and they were waking him up at night. I was furious because I thought his brain tumor was now advanced.
At the same time, my daughter had developed scoliosis. The same pediatrician said that there was nothing we could do until it got worse, and then they’d do surgery.
She had also developed a severe ragweed allergy.
I was desperate enough to take her to a chiropractor, who managed to stop and then reverse her scoliosis.
We were in his office and while he was working on her, I read the chart on his wall and it said that vertebra out of place in a certain location would cause allergies. It was the same place her scoliosis had been.
It occurred to me that she hadn’t had an allergic reaction since we’d addressed her back problem.
Also on the chart, it said that vertebra out of place in the neck would cause headaches. I asked the doc if he thought he could do anything for my son’s headaches. He walked over to him, touched his neck and said, “If I press right here, will you get a headache?”
Son said yes. Doc took X-rays and his top vertebra was visibly tilted and out of place. It took a while to get the tendons and ligaments stretched out right so they didn’t continually pull that vertebra back out, but he completely quit having headaches.
He’s in his 20s now and he knows if he starts getting migraines, he has to go get popped and put it back in place.

Doc said it was probably injured at delivery.
Do you remember which vertebrae was correlated with the allergies? I've never heard of this but would be interested to know.
It was right in the middle of her back. Next time I’m in the office, if I can remember it, I’ll take a picture and email it to you.
