“headaches I keep treating with pills”
8 quick questions about your own week, one at a time, and you get a score out of 100 and one next step. It takes about a minute. Nothing is collected and nothing is sent anywhere.
The part nobody explained
Headaches that start at the base of the skull and track with neck tension behave like a structural pattern rather than a dietary one, which is why the food diary never found anything.
Medication that works on the headache does not touch whatever is producing the headache, so the interval between them tends not to change.
Most patients find out we look at headaches at all only once they are in the room for something else, which is the reason this page exists.
We look before we touch
Digital X-ray of the cervical spine on site, plus a history that maps when they arrive, where they start, and what you have already ruled out. We are checking whether the neck accounts for the pattern you are describing.
The first visit is the exam and the digital X-ray. Nothing is adjusted on it, because adjusting before looking is guessing. What the care itself costs is given to you in writing at the report of findings, before you decide.
What we would use on it
Which of these applies to your case comes out of the exam rather than off this page.
- Chiropractic CareRestores the structure and takes pressure off the nervous system.
- Class IV Laser TherapyCalms the area down so the structural work can hold.
- Soft Tissue Therapy and Exercise RehabTrains the muscles to hold the correction so you stop relapsing.
- Nutrition SupportAddresses the inflammation and recovery side that structure alone does not explain.
Two phases, and you are told which one you are in
Whatever is driving your headaches and migraines, the shape of care here is the same and you are told which phase you are in the whole way through.
- Phase one
Correct what is driving it
Scoped before it starts. You are told how many visits it is built around, what is being measured, and when the re-exam happens, and you get that in writing with the price at the report of findings.
- The exam and the digital X-ray come first, so the plan answers to findings.
- A scheduled re-exam measures it rather than asking how your week went.
- When this phase is finished, you are told that it is finished.
- Phase two
Preserve what has been corrected
A body keeps loading, so a correction is something you keep rather than something you finish. What maintaining it looks like is explained with the reasons on the table, and it is a decision you make knowing what it is for.
- Discussed once the corrective phase is measured, not assumed at the start.
- You know what you are paying for and why, at every point.
- Nobody here will tell you a result holds forever on its own.

Questions people ask about headaches and migraines
Is a chiropractor really who I should see about migraines?
For some headache patterns yes, for others no. The ones that start in the neck and track with tension are worth imaging. The ones that do not are worth sending elsewhere, and that is what you will be told on the report of findings rather than after a course of care.
I have had every scan already and nobody found anything.
Bring them. A scan that rules out pathology is useful and it is not the same question as whether the structure of your neck is loading something. Those are different images answering different questions.
Do I have to stop my medication?
That is between you and whoever prescribed it. Nobody here will tell you to stop taking something a physician put you on.
