Book An Appointment →What Causes Migraines?
Migraines are a neurological condition, not just a bad headache. Common triggers include stress, poor sleep, dehydration, hormonal changes, certain foods, bright light, weather shifts and tension in the neck and upper back.
Many people with migraines also have stiff upper neck joints and tight muscles at the base of the skull, which can feed the headache cycle. Cervicogenic headaches, which start in the neck, are often mistaken for migraines.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Migraines
Soft Tissue Therapy
Soft tissue therapy to release tension in the neck, jaw and shoulders
Posture Correction
Posture correction for tech neck and long hours at a desk
Lifestyle Guidance
Nutrition and lifestyle guidance on hydration, sleep, trigger foods and stress
Research supports spinal manipulation as a helpful option for many people with migraine and cervicogenic headaches, especially as part of a broader plan.
Signs Your Headaches May Be Neck-Related
- Pain starts at the base of the skull or one side of the neck
- Headaches worsen with sitting, driving or screen time
- Limited neck motion or stiffness
- Tight shoulders and upper back
If these sound familiar, our neck pain treatment may be part of your migraine plan.

Can a chiropractor help migraines?
Yes, for many patients. Adjustments, soft tissue work, posture correction and trigger management can reduce migraine frequency and intensity, especially when neck tension plays a role.
How many chiropractic visits will I need for migraines?
Many patients notice improvement within four to eight visits. Your plan depends on how often migraines occur, how long you have had them and your triggers.
What is the difference between a migraine and a tension headache?
Migraines often cause throbbing pain, nausea and sensitivity to light or sound. Tension headaches feel like a tight band around the head and often come from neck and shoulder tension.
Is chiropractic care safe for migraine sufferers?
Yes. Chiropractic care is safe for most people when performed by a licensed doctor after a thorough exam. Your doctor screens for warning signs that need medical care.
Can I keep taking my migraine medication?
Yes. Chiropractic care works alongside your current treatment. Talk with your prescribing doctor before changing any medication.
Can poor posture cause migraines?
Poor posture can strain the neck and upper back, which may trigger headaches or make migraines worse. Posture correction is part of our care plans. See our corrective exercises.
Does laser therapy help headaches?
Class IV laser therapy can reduce muscle tension and inflammation in the neck and shoulders, which may ease headache intensity for some patients.
What lifestyle changes help prevent migraines?
Regular sleep, steady hydration, balanced meals, stress management, regular exercise and tracking food triggers can all help reduce migraines.
Do you treat headaches after a car accident?
Yes. Post-accident headaches often come from whiplash and neck strain, and chiropractic care can help reduce them. Learn more about our neck pain treatment.
