Can a Chiropractor Help With Migraine?

If you suffer from migraines, you know they’re more than just headaches, they can cause intense pain, light sensitivity, nausea, and fatigue that disrupt your entire day. Many patients look for drug-free ways to find relief, and chiropractic care has been shown to help reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines.

How Chiropractic Care Helps Migraine
Migraines often involve irritation of nerves in the neck and upper spine, as well as muscle tension and poor posture that affect blood flow to the head. Chiropractic adjustments address these root causes by improving spinal motion and nervous system communication.

Benefits of Chiropractic for Migraine Relief

• Reduced frequency. Regular adjustments can decrease how often migraines occur.

• Less intensity. Many patients report milder symptoms and faster recovery.

• Better posture and alignment. This relieves pressure on neck and shoulder muscles that can trigger headaches.

• Improved nervous system function. Restoring balance helps reduce stress-related migraine triggers.

Other Tips for Migraine Prevention

• Stay hydrated and avoid skipping meals.

• Track triggers like caffeine, alcohol, or poor sleep.

• Stretch and move throughout the day if you sit for long hours.

• Manage stress with breathing, yoga, or short walks.

“Migraines often start in the neck. Once we relieve tension and restore motion through adjustments, patients notice fewer headaches and faster recovery.” — Dr. Saeed Hafez
