Find Relief from Chronic Headaches—Naturally

Recurring headaches and migraines aren’t just inconvenient—they can derail your entire day. At Vita Nova Chiropractic, we help patients reclaim their clarity and comfort by addressing the underlying causes of headaches through gentle, neurologically based care.

What Are Headaches & Migraines?

Headaches and migraines are neurological events that impact millions of people daily. While common tension headaches often involve dull, pressure-like pain in the head or neck, migraines are more complex and can include intense, throbbing pain along with nausea, visual disturbances, and sensitivity to light and sound.

These symptoms often stem from:

• Cervical misalignments in the upper spine

• Poor posture and muscle imbalances

• Nervous system dysregulation

• Restricted blood flow to the brain

• Excessive stress and hormonal fluctuations

Migraines, in particular, are increasingly understood as a condition involving hypersensitive neurological responses. A compromised spine can aggravate the nerves that contribute to this hypersensitivity.

Common Symptoms We See

✓ Dull or throbbing pain behind the eyes or temples
✓ Tightness or pressure at the base of the skull
✓ Stiff neck and shoulder tension
✓ Sensitivity to light, sound, or smells
✓ Nausea and visual disturbances (auras)
✓ Fatigue or mental fog
✓ Pain that worsens with movement or emotional stress

The Chiropractic Approach to Migraine and Headache Relief

At Vita Nova, we don’t chase symptoms—we correct the root cause. Using the Zone Technique, we assess six core systems of the body, including the nervous system, muscle system, and glandular system, which often play key roles in chronic headaches.

When spinal bones (vertebrae) shift out of alignment, they can place pressure on nerves, reduce blood flow, and cause tension patterns that impact your body’s natural ability to regulate itself. Chiropractic adjustments restore optimal function by:

• Relieving nerve irritation

• Improving circulation to the brain

• Releasing muscular tension

• Reducing inflammation and stress load

• Balancing the autonomic nervous system

We tailor every adjustment to your individual needs, providing relief without harsh cracking or medications.

How Subluxations Can Influence Migraine Frequency

• Brainstem pressure: Upper cervical misalignments may affect brainstem activity, which regulates pain processing.

• Trigeminal nerve stress: This major cranial nerve is closely involved in headache and facial pain. Misalignment can increase sensitivity.

• Blood flow disruption: Cervical misalignments can restrict vertebral artery circulation to the brain.

• Heightened stress response: Nervous system imbalance (sympathetic overdrive) lowers your threshold for headache triggers.

Think of your spine like the main breaker box for your nervous system. When interference is present, your body may misfire—leading to more frequent or intense migraines.

What the Research Says

Numerous studies support chiropractic care as a promising solution for migraine sufferers:

“A 2011 study in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found significant improvements in migraine frequency, duration, and disability after spinal manipulative therapy (SMT), along with reduced medication use.”

“A 2019 meta-analysis published in Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain evaluated 677 participants and concluded that spinal manipulation may reduce migraine days and pain intensity. The authors noted the results were promising but encouraged more large-scale trials.”

“A 2000 randomized controlled trial showed that 22% of migraine sufferers experienced more than a 90% reduction in migraines after two months of diversified chiropractic care.”

“A 2021 trial published in Chiropractic & Manual Therapies reported that participants receiving chiropractic adjustments had fewer headaches and greater improvements in quality of life compared to control groups.”

These studies, along with decades of clinical success, demonstrate the powerful impact of spinal alignment on headache frequency and severity.
