understanding
migraines & Headaches
Migraines and headaches are both types of head pain, but their defining characteristics are distinctly different. Headaches are a common complaint caused by various factors, including stress, fatigue, dehydration, and muscle tension. Often described as a dull, aching pain, headaches can be felt anywhere in your head.
Migraines are more severe. Usually occurring on one side of your head, they’re often characterized by a throbbing or pulsing pain accompanied by other symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sounds, and potentially visual disturbances. What makes migraines so much worse are their intensity, duration, and frequency that greatly impact your daily quality of life.
Spinal Alignment
We focus on correcting misalignments in your spine, which are contributing factors to nerve compression and pain. By addressing these underlying issues, chiropractic adjustments help alleviate pain and reduce the frequency of your migraines and headaches.
Nerve Function
Your nervous system plays an important role in how you perceive pain. Chiropractic adjustments can help improve the function of your nervous system, potentially reducing pain signals and improving your overall well-being.
Muscle Tension Relief
Muscle tension is another critical factor affecting migraine and headaches. By reducing stress in your muscles and improving postural issues, chiropractic care works to reduce your pain.
Many people have found relief from migraines and headaches through chiropractic adjustments, making this holistic approach a valuable tool in managing these conditions.

frequently asked
questions
How Often Should You Go to the Chiropractor for Migraines?
The frequency of chiropractic visits for migraines can vary depending on individual needs and the severity of symptoms. Some people may benefit from regular adjustments, while others may only require occasional visits. Your chiropractor will discuss your ideal frequency during a consultation.
Will a Chiropractor Help With Headaches?
Yes, chiropractic care can be effective in treating certain types of headaches. By addressing underlying spinal misalignments and reducing muscle tension, a chiropractor can help alleviate pain and improve your overall well-being.
Can Alignment Help With Headaches?
Alignment can help with headaches. If your spine is out of alignment, it may put stress on your neck and shoulder muscles, which leads to unwanted pain and tension. Chiropractic adjustments can reduce that pain and tension by restoring proper alignment.

While chiropractic care may not directly address hormonal imbalances causing your migraines, it can alleviate some of the symptoms like neck and shoulder tension.
Can Being Out of Alignment Cause Migraines?
Yes, being out of alignment could contribute to migraines. Misalignments in your spine may put pressure on nerves and muscles triggering worse symptoms.
Can You Get Migraines From Bad Posture?
Yes, bad posture can contribute to migraines, so maintaining good posture and addressing any underlying muscle imbalances can help reduce the frequency and severity of your migraines.
