Migraines & Headaches

Gentle, upper cervical care for people who are tired of living around their next headache.
If you get migraines or chronic headaches, you know the drill:
  • You can feel it building. Your neck gets tight.
  • Light and sound get annoying. Your day gets smaller. Plans get risky.
  • And the worst part? Even when something helps, it doesn’t always last.

We work with a lot of patients like this — especially people who want a gentle approach and don’t love “traditional” chiropractic.

This page is for you if:

Why we look at the upper neck (Atlas/C1)

Headaches and migraines are complex — and there isn’t one cause for everyone.

One thing we see often is that when the upper neck is irritated or not moving well, the body can compensate with:

  • Muscle guarding in the neck/shoulders
  • Posture shifts
  • Tension patterns that keep re-triggering headaches

That’s why our office often starts with the upper cervical spine. It’s gentle, specific, and focused on precision.

No twisting. No aggressive cracking.

Our approach (organized, not random)

We don’t guess.

We start with a New Patient Exam, then (if atlas-specific care is a fit) imaging is used so your correction is based on measurements—not hunches. We may use 3D imaging (CBCT) when appropriate.

Then we bring you back for a Report of Findings & First Adjustment, where we explain what we found and build your plan.

We also track progress with validated questionnaires so we’re not relying on “how you feel this week” alone.

This is how we avoid endless care with no clear progress.

What people often notice

Every case is different, but patients often tell us they notice:
  • Less neck/shoulder tension
  • Fewer “build-up” days
  • Less intensity or shorter duration
  • More confidence making plans

No guarantees — but we’ll be clear about what we’re seeing and what we’re trying to change.

Common questions

Can chiropractic “cure” migraines?

We don’t promise cures. Migraines can have multiple drivers. What we do is look for upper-neck-related patterns and support your body’s function with gentle, specific care.

Do you crack the neck?

No aggressive twisting or cracking is required.

How many visits will I need?

It depends on your history and how your body responds. After your exam and Report of Findings, we’ll recommend a plan and track progress.

What if my migraines started after a car accident or concussion?

Tell us. That history matters and can change what we recommend.

Start with an exam and we’ll tell you what we see, what we recommend, and what the next step should be.
