Is the Chiropractor the migraine fixer?

I recently met a young chiropractor who suggested he may be able to help me with my migraine problem. He gave me an evaluation, and we discussed what was out of whack, which he referred to as subluxations, and the impact these subluxations have on my overall well being. One of the areas he focused on was my neck; from my traps to the base of my skull. Since I don't remember all of the terms, I can't get into detail about all of the adjustments he made. He did tell me I need to make my neck stronger and I needed to spend more time stretching it. So I've been focusing on keep my head straight and stretching as often as possible.

Since my first adjustment I've only had one hockey game. I did not get a migraine after, and if there was a game that would induce a migraine it was that one (I was one of six skaters on my team). The chiropractor asked me to push myself a little harder than I've been to see if I get a migraine or not. So I'm not claiming to be out of the woods yet but I'm interested in seeing how this goes.
