If you struggle with migraines, you know how much they take over your life. The pounding pain, the nausea, the way light and sound feel unbearable.
You’ve probably tried everything—medications, physical therapy, even chiropractic adjustments—but nothing has given you lasting relief. Doctors run tests, prescribe different treatments, and yet the migraines keep coming back.
At this point, you might be wondering, “Is something seriously wrong with me?”
The truth is, there probably is something going on—but it might not be in your head. For many people with chronic migraines, the real issue is hiding in the upper part of the neck.
The Part of Your Body No One Is Looking At
Most migraine sufferers don’t realize their headaches could be coming from their upper cervical spine. The top two bones in the neck, called the atlas and axis, play a major role in protecting the brainstem, which controls critical functions like blood flow, pain processing, and balance.
When these bones shift out of alignment, even slightly, they can disrupt the nervous system and create a cascade of problems that can trigger migraines.
A misalignment in the upper cervical spine can lead to:
- Abnormal blood flow to the brain
- Increased nerve sensitivity, making pain worse
- Muscle tension in the neck and shoulders
- A nervous system that stays in a constant state of stress
If you’ve been searching for answers and not getting anywhere, this might be the missing piece no one has checked.
Why Medications Aren’t Solving the Problem
Most migraine treatments focus on symptom relief. Doctors prescribe medications to dull the pain, reduce inflammation, or stop attacks from happening as often. But none of these treatments correct the actual problem.
If the root cause of your migraines is coming from a dysfunction in your upper cervical spine, no amount of medication can fix that. This is why so many people feel stuck—getting temporary relief but never truly healing.
How Upper Cervical Chiropractic Can Help
Upper cervical chiropractic takes a different approach. Instead of just managing pain, it focuses on restoring function to the nervous system by correcting misalignments in the upper neck.
Here’s how it works:
- We take precise X-rays to determine if the atlas and axis are out of alignment.
- We use infrared thermography to assess nervous system function.
- If a correction is needed, we make a precise, gentle adjustment to restore balance.
- We monitor progress to ensure your body is healing properly.
The goal isn’t to adjust the spine at every visit. It’s to make the right correction at the right time so your body can heal itself.
What Patients Experience After Upper Cervical Care
Many people with migraines report:
- Fewer and less intense migraine attacks
- Less tension in the neck and shoulders
- Improved sleep and energy levels
- Reduced reliance on medications
Unlike traditional chiropractic care, which often involves frequent adjustments, upper cervical chiropractic focuses on precision. When the spine is corrected properly, adjustments hold longer, allowing the nervous system to stabilize and function the way it’s meant to.
Is This the Answer You’ve Been Looking For?
If you’re like most of oour patients, you’ve already tried everything. You’ve done what your doctors recommended. You’ve followed the treatment plans. Yet, your migraines keep coming back.
Maybe it’s time for a different approach.
If you’re ready to explore whether upper cervical chiropractic could be the missing piece, let’s have a conversation. The first step is a consultation where we’ll review your health history, assess your nervous system function, and determine whether a misalignment in your upper cervical spine is keeping you stuck in the migraine cycle.
You don’t have to live your life around migraines. There’s a reason your body isn’t healing—and a way to fix it.
