Conditions

Headaches

Tension headaches, migraines, and the daily background ache are all worth addressing — and not with another bottle of pills.

Different headaches, similar root

Tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches (originating from the neck), and migraines look different on the surface, but they often share a common root: an overloaded nervous system, restricted motion in the upper neck, and tension in the muscles at the base of the skull.

Medication can quiet the symptom for a few hours. Gentle, specific chiropractic care addresses why your body keeps producing the pain in the first place.

Your first visit is mostly conversation — when the headaches started, how often they show up, what makes them better or worse, and what you’ve already tried. Then a careful assessment of the upper neck, jaw, shoulders, and posture.
