Not all headaches are the same
Tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches, and many migraines feel different but often share a hidden driver: irritation and restriction in the neck and upper spine. Reaching for medication can quiet the signal, but it doesn't change what's sending it. We focus on the source so the pattern itself can ease.
Where headaches actually come from
Locked cervical joints, irritated nerves at the top of the spine, and sustained postural strain all refer pain into the head. Hours at a screen, poor sleep posture, and old neck injuries quietly set the stage. Find and free those structures, and the headaches frequently follow.
Our approach
We start by mapping your headache pattern, frequency, triggers, location, and time of day. From there we use precise, gentle adjustments to the upper cervical spine, paired with soft-tissue work to release the muscles that feed the pain.
Making the relief last
Lasting change comes from more than the table. We coach you on desk setup, screen habits, and sleep position so the tension doesn't simply rebuild between visits, turning short-term relief into a real, durable reduction in how often headaches hit.

Frequently asked
Common questions about headaches & migraines
Can chiropractic really help migraines?
+
For many people, yes, particularly when the migraines have a cervical or postural component. We screen carefully to make sure care is appropriate for you.
How fast will I feel a difference?
+
Many patients feel changes within the first few visits. Long-standing patterns take longer to fully retrain.
Do I have to stop my medication?
+
That's between you and your physician. Our goal is to reduce how often you need it by addressing the underlying cause.
What causes most tension headaches?
+
Commonly, tight muscles and restricted joints in the neck and upper back, often from posture, stress, and screen time. That's exactly what chiropractic care is well suited to address.
Is the adjustment safe for my neck?
+
Yes. We screen thoroughly and use the gentlest effective technique, including low-force instrument options if that's a better fit for you.
