Headaches & Migraines

Most chronic headaches have a cervical or muscular root cause that medication only masks.

About Headaches & Migraines

Tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches, and many migraine patterns trace back to the upper cervical spine and the muscles that attach to the base of the skull. Address the source and the headache pattern often changes dramatically.

We screen carefully, not every headache is mechanical, and we refer when it isn't. But for the patients we can help, the relief can be substantial and lasting.

Common causes

  • Upper cervical (C1,C2) joint dysfunction
  • Trigger points in suboccipital, traps, sternocleidomastoid
  • Postural strain (forward head, screen time)
  • Sleep position issues
  • Stress-driven muscle guarding

How we treat it

  • Upper cervical adjusting (Gonstead, Activator, or instrument)
  • Trigger-point therapy on neck and shoulder muscles
  • Posture correction and home stretches
  • Sleep position guidance
