Headache Treatment
Finally, get relief without relying on more medications
Headaches aren’t just “in your head.” They’re a signal from your body that something is off. Whether it's tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches, or migraines, the common pattern we see is this: You can expect a level of care and simplicity that has become rare in healthcare today. Our mission is not only to help you feel better, but to help you live a life of strength, health, and abundance.
- The nervous system is stressed
- The neck and upper back lose normal motion
- Muscles tighten and trigger pain patterns that radiate into the head
Chiropractic care helps by restoring normal movement and reducing stress on the joints, muscles, and nerves that influence your head and neck.
Our focus is to support you in feeling better fast, and more importantly, to help you stay better long-term.
Types of Headaches We Treat
1. Tension Headaches
These are the “band-like” pressure headaches — the ones that wrap across the forehead, temples, or into the back of the neck.
They are often triggered by stress, posture, muscle tension, jaw clenching, or computer work.
Why Chiropractic Helps:
Tension headaches are strongly linked to muscle imbalance and joint restriction in the neck and upper back. Restoring motion and reducing muscular tension can significantly reduce frequency and intensity.
What Research Shows:
Clinical guidelines recommend manual therapy and exercise as effective, non-drug treatments for tension headaches. Multiple controlled trials show that chiropractic adjustments and soft-tissue mobilization can decrease both pain severity and headache frequency.
2. Cervicogenic Headaches
These headaches start in the neck and refer pain up into the head, often behind one eye or at the base of the skull.
Common signs include:
- Pain made worse by turning your neck
- One-sided headaches
- Neck stiffness or pressure
- History of posture strain, injury, or stress
Why Chiropractic Helps:
Cervicogenic headaches are caused by dysfunctional joints in the upper cervical spine. When these joints don’t move correctly, nerves become irritated and pain radiates into the head.
Chiropractic adjustments restore normal joint motion, reducing the cause of the pain — not just masking symptoms.
What Research Shows:
Studies consistently support spinal manipulation and targeted exercise as highly effective for reducing cervicogenic headache intensity, frequency, and disability.
3. Migraines
Migraines are neurological, often involving sensitivity to light, nausea, visual changes, and debilitating pain.
Chiropractic care helps reduce the severity and number of migraine days for many patients.
Why Chiropractic Helps:
Migraines are influenced by the nervous system. When the spine is restricted or irritated, it increases stress on the brainstem and surrounding pain pathways. Gentle chiropractic adjustments help improve nervous system regulation, reduce muscular tension, and support better sleep, all major migraine triggers.
What Research Shows:
Clinical research shows that chiropractic care can significantly reduce migraine frequency and intensity, in some cases as effectively as common migraine medications, but without the side effects.
Why Headaches Keep Coming Back
Most headache treatments only target symptoms.
Painkillers numb the pain
- Massages relax the muscles temporarily
- Stretching helps for a few hours
- Coffee, energy drinks, and screens make things worse over time
But nothing changes the root cause:
- Restricted spinal joints
- Overactive muscles
- A stressed nervous system
We address all three.
