Chiropractic Care for Migraines With a Cervical Component

Migraines are more than ordinary headaches. They can cause intense, throbbing head pain along with symptoms such as sensitivity to light or sound, nausea, and visual disturbances. For some people, neck problems or cervical dysfunction may contribute to or trigger migraine symptoms.

At Village Family Clinic, we evaluate the neck and spine when appropriate to help identify musculoskeletal factors that may be contributing to your headaches or migraines.

Migraines and the Cervical Spine

The nerves and structures in the upper neck interact with pain pathways involved in headaches and migraines. Neck tension, restricted movement, poor posture, or irritation of cervical structures may contribute to symptoms in some individuals.

You may notice neck pain or stiffness before or during a migraine, or find that certain neck movements make your symptoms worse.

Chiropractic Care for Migraines

Depending on the underlying factors, chiropractic care may help manage neck-related migraine symptoms. Treatment may include gentle spinal adjustments, soft-tissue techniques, therapeutic exercises, stretching, and posture recommendations.

Improving cervical mobility and addressing muscular tension may help reduce contributing factors and support better neck and spinal function.
