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 sleep better. I don't hurt anymore. If you have given up ever feeling better, try them.
I've been to a lot of chiropractors. Peak Chiropractic is the only one that's actually made a significant difference in my well-being. I went from three to four migraines a month down to maybe one every two or three months. I sleep better. I don't hurt anymore. If you have given up ever feeling better, try them. I'll never be 100% but this is the closest I've ever felt to getting there.

I’ve been able to golf without pain and my overall quality of life has gone up.
Dr. Jon and Dr. Kyara are amazing! I started seeing them last fall. I had chronic lower back pain and spasms for half my life, about 18 years. After about 2 months of treatment my pain and spasms disappeared and they haven't come back! I've been able to golf without pain and my overall quality of life has gone up. I was so used to the pain that I was unaware of how my much it was hurting every area of my life. I HIGHLY recommend them! Thank you guys!
