Neck tension and upper cervical spine contributing to headaches and migraines
Many headaches originate from tension and dysfunction in the upper neck

Types of Headaches We Commonly See

  • Migraines
  • Tension headaches
  • Cervicogenic headaches
  • Headaches with neck stiffness
  • Headaches triggered by posture or screen use
  • Headaches with dizziness or brain fog

What is a Cervicogenic Headache?

A cervicogenic headache starts in the neck but is felt in the head.

It can cause:

  • Pain behind the eyes (often associated with TMJ and jaw tension)
  • One-sided headaches
  • Tightness at the base of the skull
  • Headaches worsened by neck movement

Why Headaches Keep Coming Back

Many treatments focus on the head.

But if the source is the neck, the problem remains.

When upper cervical joints are not moving properly, they can irritate nerves and refer pain into the head.

What Most Treatments Miss

Pain medication can reduce symptoms.

But it does not correct:

  • Joint dysfunction
  • Muscle imbalance
  • Mechanical stress on nerves

Until those are addressed, headaches often return.

Our Approach: Upper Cervical Precision

Upper Cervical Focus

We evaluate the top of the neck where head and neck mechanics meet.

Gentle, Low-Force Adjustments

No twisting or aggressive techniques.

Soft Tissue Work

We reduce muscle tension contributing to headaches.

Can Chiropractic Help Migraines?

For many patients, yes.

If migraines are influenced by neck mechanics, improving alignment can reduce frequency and intensity.

What to Expect

We assess how your neck moves and functions.

Then we build a plan focused on restoring proper mechanics.
