Frequent headaches and migraines can be more than just an occasional nuisance — for many people, they’re a recurring source of lost time and disrupted daily life. Many headaches originate from tension and misalignment in the neck and upper spine. At Peterson Chiropractic, we look beyond the symptom to identify and treat the underlying cause.

Common symptoms we treat include:

– Tension headaches that build gradually and radiate from the neck

– Migraines with or without aura

– Headaches triggered by poor posture or prolonged screen time

– Neck and shoulder tightness accompanying head pain

What Causes Headaches and Migraines?

Many headaches are linked to cervicogenic causes — meaning they originate from tension, joint dysfunction, or misalignment in the cervical spine. Stress, poor posture, and muscle tension can all contribute to the frequency and severity of headaches.

How We Treat Headaches and Migraines:

– Spinal adjustments to relieve tension in the neck and upper back

– Trigger point therapy to release tight muscles contributing to head pain

– Posture correction and ergonomic recommendations

– Personalized care plans to reduce headache frequency and severity

What to Expect During Your Visit:

1. A thorough evaluation of your neck, spine, and headache patterns

2. A customized treatment plan targeting your specific triggers

3. Ongoing care to reduce the frequency and intensity of your headaches
