- Cervicogenic headaches – pain that starts in the neck and spreads to the head, often caused by joint dysfunction in the cervical spine
- Migraines – intense, often one-sided throbbing pain that may come with nausea, visual changes, and sensitivity to light or sound
- Post-traumatic headaches – headaches that begin after an injury, such as headaches after a car accident or whiplash

How Chiropractic Care Relieves Headaches and Migraines
There is no single method that works for everyone, because everyone experiences headaches differently. Our chiropractors use a combination of approaches tailored to you, including:
- Spinal adjustments to restore proper motion and alignment in the neck and upper back
- Soft-tissue therapy to release tight muscles that contribute to tension headaches
- Corrective exercises and postural retraining
- Stress management strategies
- Nutritional counseling to identify and avoid dietary triggers
Neck pain and headaches often go hand in hand with upper back pain and pinched nerves. Our free health articles also include resources on migraine relief, TMJ, and head and neck pain.
