HEADACHES & MIGRAINES

Cervicogenic headaches come from misalignment or dysfunction in the neck and upper back. You may feel pain in the forehead, behind the eyes, at the side of the head, under the skull, or at the back of the neck. They are often one-sided but can affect both sides.

These headaches often develop due to:

• Neck trauma – from football injuries, car accidents, falls, birthing trauma, or playground incidents
  

• Bad habits – like prolonged smartphone or tablet use
  

• Poor posture – sitting at a computer for hours or driving long distances
  

By restoring proper alignment and movement, chiropractic care can help relieve tension, reduce pain, and prevent recurrence.

Migraines are severe headaches that can disrupt daily life. While their exact cause varies, common triggers include:

• Neck or spinal misalignment – causing tension and pressure around the head and neck

• Stress or fatigue – overloading the nervous system and muscles

• Hormonal or environmental triggers – such as certain foods, dehydration, or bright lights

Migraines often affect one side of the head and can cause nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or noise.

Chiropractic care aims to improve spinal and nervous system function, helping your body better manage triggers and reducing the frequency and intensity of migraines over time.
