Condition
Headaches & Migraines
Recurring headaches and migraines are often caused by tension in the upper cervical spine interfering with blood flow and nerve function. Chiropractic care addresses the root cause rather than masking the pain.
Common Symptoms
- Tension headaches at the base of the skull
- Migraines with sensitivity to light and sound
- Headaches that start in the neck and radiate upward
- Frequent need for pain medication
- Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
How We Help
The majority of headaches originate from misalignment in the upper cervical spine — the top two vertebrae in your neck. When these vertebrae are out of position, they can restrict blood flow to the brain, irritate nerves, and create chronic muscle tension. We identify the specific misalignments causing your headaches and correct them with precise, gentle adjustments. Many patients are able to reduce or eliminate their reliance on headache medication.
Common Questions
Can chiropractic really help with migraines?
Yes. Research published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that chiropractic adjustments significantly reduced migraine frequency, duration, and intensity.
How is this different from taking medication?
Medication manages the symptom (pain). Chiropractic addresses the structural and neurological cause. Both have their place, but correcting the root issue often provides longer-lasting relief.
How many visits before I see improvement?
Many headache patients notice improvement within 2-4 visits. Chronic, long-standing headaches may take longer to fully resolve.
