Headache and Migraine Care in Roswell, GA
If your headaches keep coming back, the question worth asking is where they start. Often the answer is the neck.
Many headaches are neck problems wearing a disguise
Tension-type headaches and cervicogenic headaches, the kind that start at the base of the skull and creep forward, are closely tied to the joints, muscles, and nerves of the upper neck. Sustained tension there can also be one of the triggers migraine sufferers learn to dread.
Care here addresses that cervical source: gentle instrument adjusting for the upper neck, tension-pattern work through Torque Release, and an honest assessment of what else is feeding the picture, from workstation setup to sleep position.
What care looks like
- A history that maps your headache pattern: where they start, when they hit, what they respond to
- Examination of the upper cervical spine, where most neck-driven headaches originate
- Gentle, no-twist adjusting matched to the findings
- Tracking frequency and intensity over your plan, so you can see whether the trend is moving
Headaches, answered
How do I know if my headaches come from my neck?
Clues include pain starting at the base of the skull, headaches that follow long desk days, tenderness in the upper neck, and relief with pressure or heat there. The examination tells the real story.
Can chiropractic help migraines?
Chiropractic care does not cure migraine. For some patients, addressing neck tension removes one of their triggers, which can matter a great deal. You deserve that framed honestly, and it will be.
When is a headache an emergency?
A sudden, worst-ever "thunderclap" headache, headache with fever and stiff neck, after a head injury, or with confusion, weakness, or vision loss: emergency care, immediately.
