“My daughter had chronic headaches that her pediatrician couldn't explain. NRT showed she had specific nutritional deficiencies. Three months later, she's headache-free. Dr. Jenn is amazing with kids.”

Headaches & Migraines
treated properly.
If you get headaches every week — or migraines that knock you out for a full day — you know the toll it takes. The medications help temporarily, but they don't stop the next one from coming. You've been told it's stress, or hormones, or just something you have to live with. But what if the real cause is in your neck?
What causes it
What causes headaches & migraines.
Many chronic headaches and migraines originate in the cervical spine — the part of the neck that connects to your skull.
- Cervical spine misalignment causing nerve irritation
- Muscle tension in the neck and upper back
- Poor posture (especially from desk work and screen time)
- Whiplash or past neck injuries
- Nutritional deficiencies and food sensitivities
- TMJ (jaw) dysfunction

Questions patients ask
Headaches & Migraines FAQs.
Can a chiropractor really help with migraines?
Yes. Research shows that chiropractic care can reduce migraine frequency and severity. Many migraines are triggered by cervical spine issues that respond well to gentle adjustments.
How is chiropractic headache treatment different from medication?
Medication manages the symptom. Chiropractic care addresses the structural and neurological cause. Many patients are able to reduce or eliminate headache medication after a course of care.
What if my headaches are caused by stress?
Stress headaches are often mediated through muscle tension in the neck and shoulders. Chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue work can break the tension cycle, even when stress is the trigger.
