Headaches & Migraines
Chronic headaches or migraines can disrupt your focus, sleep, and ability to function day to day. At Palatine Family Chiropractic, we help uncover and correct the underlying causes — like tension, misalignment, or nerve irritation — so you can experience long-term relief, naturally.
Relief from Headaches and Migraines Without Relying on Medication
How do we Help with Headaches & Migraines?
Many headaches and migraines are linked to issues in the spine — particularly in the neck and upper back. Tension, poor posture, and spinal misalignments can irritate nerves or restrict blood flow, which contributes to recurring pain.
Chiropractic care focuses on correcting these issues by improving spinal alignment and nervous system function, helping your body respond more calmly and efficiently to everyday stressors.
How It Works
We begin with a comprehensive assessment of your spine, posture, and lifestyle factors that may be triggering your headaches. If misalignments or muscular imbalances are present, gentle chiropractic adjustments can help relieve tension and restore balance. We may also use soft tissue therapy or recommend ergonomic changes to reduce future flare-ups.
Why It’s Effective
Most headache treatments focus on masking the pain, not fixing the cause. Chiropractic care addresses the structural imbalances that contribute to tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches (those originating from the neck), and certain types of migraines. By restoring proper alignment and reducing nerve irritation, we help your body break the cycle of chronic pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can chiropractic care help with migraines?
Yes. While migraines are complex, many are triggered or worsened by spinal tension, posture issues, or nerve irritation — all of which chiropractic care can help address.
Do adjustments make headaches worse?
Most patients feel relief after an adjustment. We always use techniques that are appropriate for your comfort level and adjust your care plan based on how your body responds.
Is it safe to get adjusted during a migraine?
We typically recommend waiting until your migraine passes, but once you’re stable, we can assess and treat the contributing issues to reduce future episodes.
How long before I feel a difference?
Some patients notice relief after the first few visits. Chronic or long-term cases may require more consistent care before results become noticeable.
