The Connection Between Your Neck and Your Headaches

Did you know that over 70% of frequent headaches originate in the neck? These are called Cervicogenic Headaches.

The Mechanism: When the top vertebrae in your neck (C1 and C2) are restricted or misaligned, they irritate the nerves that travel up into your head. This is often felt as a dull ache behind the eyes or at the base of the skull.

The Solution: Painkillers mask the signal; they don't fix the switch. Gentle chiropractic adjustments to the upper cervical spine can restore motion and stop the referral of pain. If you suffer from migraines or tension headaches, let us check your neck alignment.
