Headaches & Migraines
Many people who experience headaches or migraines seek chiropractic care. We consider how the neck, posture, stress, and nervous system function may relate to what you are experiencing.
The bigger picture
How we think about it
The cervical area has an important connection with how we perceive pain in the head. The muscles, joints, and nerves in the neck constantly send information to the brain.When there is tension, stiffness, or changes in cervical movement, this information can contribute to or intensify certain types of headaches and migraines.
Also, the brain has networks that are involved in regulating stress, relaxation, and pain perception. When the nervous system stays in a high-alert state and has trouble self-regulating, this can also affect how pain signals are perceived and processed.
That's why evaluating the neck and understanding how the nervous system is working can be an important part of understanding what's going on.
This is where chiropractic can be part of the approach: through adjustments and specific techniques, we aim to improve spinal movement, reduce tension, and optimize the information the nervous system receives.
Maybe you experience:
Recurrent headaches.
Migraine episodes.
Sensitivity to light or sound.
Tension in your neck or shoulders.
Difficulty concentrating during or after an episode.
Symptoms that seem to appear after certain triggers or activities.
