Understanding Migraines and Headaches

Headaches are among the most common reasons people seek medical care, yet many never receive a lasting solution. Headaches often stem from poor posture, or spinal misalignments, especially in the neck and upper back.

Migraines, on the other hand, can be more complex—often involving nerve irritation, vascular changes, and even hormonal imbalances. Both types can severely limit your ability to function, leading to lost quality of life.

Common symptoms of headaches include aching pain in the temples, pressure around the forehead, tightness in the neck and shoulders, and sensitivity to light or sound. Migraine sufferers may experience severe, throbbing pain often accompanied by nausea, visual disturbances, and extreme fatigue.

While medications may temporarily dull the pain, they rarely address the root of the problem. That's where chiropractic care can make a real difference.
