Migraines can be debilitating, affecting work, family life, and overall well-being. While medication may provide temporary relief, many people continue to experience recurring headaches without ever addressing the root cause. One factor often overlooked in migraine care is neck alignment. At Dalton Chiropractic, we help patients understand how spinal health and posture may be linked to chronic headaches and migraines.
 

How Neck Alignment Affects the Nervous System

Your cervical spine (neck) houses and protects the spinal cord, which serves as a communication pathway between your brain and body. When the vertebrae in your neck are misaligned, they can place pressure on surrounding nerves, muscles, and blood vessels. This irritation may trigger or worsen migraine symptoms by disrupting normal nerve function and circulation.
 

Muscle Tension and Migraines

Poor neck alignment often leads to chronic muscle tension. Stiff muscles in the neck and shoulders can increase stress on the head and contribute to pain sensitivity. Over time, this tension may create a cycle where poor posture leads to misalignment, which then increases the frequency and intensity of migraines.
 

The Chiropractic Approach to Migraine Relief

Chiropractic adjustments focus on restoring proper spinal alignment, reducing pressure on nerves, and improving blood flow. For migraine sufferers, this can help:

• Decrease the frequency of headaches
• Reduce the intensity of migraine episodes
• Improve posture and range of motion
• Promote overall nervous system health

Many patients find that regular chiropractic care not only helps manage migraines but also improves their energy levels, sleep, and quality of life.
