Headaches Are No Good!

Headaches and migraines can be a debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide.

What Causes Headaches?

Headaches can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress, dehydration, lack of sleep, and dietary factors.


However, one common cause of headaches is misalignment in the upper cervical spine.


Misalignment can cause tension and irritation in the surrounding muscles and nerves, leading to headache pain.

How Upper Cervical Care Can Help?

Upper cervical chiropractic care focuses on identifying and correcting misalignments in the upper neck.


By using gentle, safe, and non-invasive adjustments, an upper cervical chiropractor can restore proper alignment and function to the spine, reducing tension and irritation in the surrounding muscles and nerves.


Studies have shown that upper cervical care can be effective in reducing headache frequency, intensity, and duration.


"One study found that 80% of headache patients experienced significant improvement after just one month of upper cervical care."

Benefits of Upper Cervical Care for Headaches

Here are some benefits of upper cervical care for headaches:

  1. Non-Invasive: Upper cervical care is a non-invasive approach to treating headaches, meaning that there are no drugs or surgery involved.

  2. Safe: Upper cervical care is a safe and gentle approach to treating headaches, with minimal risk of side effects.
