## About Headaches & Migraines

Headaches and migraines often originate from cervical spine dysfunction, muscle tension, or nerve irritation in the upper neck. Chiropractic care targets these root causes rather than just treating symptoms. Upper cervical adjustments can reduce headache frequency and intensity by restoring proper alignment, reducing muscle tension, and improving blood flow to the head and neck.
