Migraine Relief in Colorado Springs
More than just headaches, migraines are severe, often debilitating episodes that can come with nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or sound. They may last hours (or even days), significantly impacting daily life.
Migraines can occur with or without aura, or be chronic, and often stem from a combination of genetic factors, neurological sensitivity, and structural issues in the upper cervical spine (C1 and C2).
Even minor misalignments in the neck can overstimulate nerves and muscles, triggering recurring migraine attacks. Addressing these underlying causes can help reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines.
Chiropractic Care for Migraines
The first step is a detailed consultation where your migraine history, triggers, and past approaches are carefully reviewed. X-rays and spinal analysis help evaluate the upper cervical spine, allowing us to pinpoint misalignments that may be linked to your symptoms.
Treatment plans are always personalized, never cookie-cutter; they often combine neurologically based adjustments with Activator® or ArthroStim® instruments, gentle spinal corrections, and exercises to restore natural neck curvature. This approach reduces nervous system stress, helping patients experience fewer migraine episodes over time.
“Migraines are complex, but chiropractic care can help manage them naturally by restoring proper alignment and supporting the nervous system,” says Colorado Springs chiropractor Dr. Jason.
