Migraines

When migraines run your life, the cervical spine is worth a look.

Did you know?About 12% of Americans live with migraine — 18% of women and 6% of men.

What it is

Migraines can be influenced by posture, neck function, stress, and lifestyle factors. Many migraine sufferers seek chiropractic care as part of a comprehensive approach.

Common Symptoms

  • Throbbing, often one-sided head pain
  • Sensitivity to light, sound, or smell
  • Nausea or vomiting during episodes
  • Visual aura or tingling sensations beforehand
  • Migraines triggered by stress, sleep loss, or weather

How Chiropractic Can Help

  • Precise upper-cervical adjustments to reduce brainstem irritation
  • Lowers overall sympathetic nervous-system load
  • Can reduce both frequency and intensity of attacks
  • Identifies and addresses postural and lifestyle triggers
