What Causes Migraines?‍

Migraines are more than just headaches. They are intense, often accompanied by nausea, light sensitivity, and visual disturbances. While the exact cause of migraines varies from person to person, one common factor is misalignments in the upper cervical spine. These misalignments, particularly in the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) vertebrae, can disrupt nerve function, leading to the onset of migraines.

At Peak Chiropractic, our upper cervical chiropractors focus on correcting these misalignments to reduce nerve interference and provide long-term migraine relief.

How Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care Works for Migraines‍

Upper cervical chiropractic focuses on realigning the top two vertebrae in the spine. These vertebrae are located at the base of the skull and play a crucial role in protecting the brainstem. Misalignments in this area can lead to nerve irritation and inflammation, triggering migraine episodes.

Through gentle, targeted adjustments, our chiropractors help restore proper alignment, reducing the pressure on the nervous system. Many patients report a significant reduction in the frequency and intensity of their migraines after just a few sessions.

What to Expect During Chiropractic Treatment for Migraines‍

Your first visit at Peak Chiropractic will begin with a thorough consultation and diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays or 3D scans, to determine if misalignments are contributing to your migraines. Based on the findings, our upper cervical chiropractors will develop a personalized treatment plan.

Each adjustment is gentle and non-invasive, designed to correct the misalignment without causing discomfort. Over time, you’ll notice fewer migraines and a reduction in related symptoms like neck pain and nausea.

I was quite impressed with the technology used to assess my neck and spine.

I started my care with Peak back in mid February. I had never heard of a cervical chiropractor, until my daughter convinced me to try it. I had been dealing with shoulder/neck pain periodically, off and on, never quite getting rid of it. My last experience with a chiropractor left me injured and not feeling very confident about ever using chiropractic care again. Upon beginning my care with Peak, I began to see that this was different then anything i had ever heard of before. I was quite impressed with the technology used to assess my neck and spine. I began my adjustments, and was informed I would go through a detox with my body. Some weeks I was feeling great, and some weeks i definitely was feeling more pain. After about four weeks of regular adjustments, I probably had my worst week of pain! The following week was my best week, in fact, I didn’t even need to be adjusted. I am excited to continue my care with Dr. John and Dr. Kyara! As time moves forward, I am seeing more and more improvement. My body is beginning to recover on its own when i have been through excess stress or exertion. Before, my body was “stuck” in pain, and now it’s beginning to bounce back on its own. Dr John and Dr Kyara are both very kind, compassionate professionals. If you are on the fence about jumping in to cervical chiropractic care, take the plunge! The only thing you have to lose is your pain and discomfort!
