Headaches & Migraines

Understanding Headaches & Migraines

If you are dealing with regular headaches or migraines, you know how much they can take over your day. While there are many causes of headaches, a significant number originate from tension and dysfunction in the neck and upper back — and that is where chiropractic care can make a real difference. At Banora Chiropractic, we look beyond the headache itself to understand what is driving it, and work to address those underlying factors.

Common symptoms

• Recurring headaches, especially at the base of the skull or temples
• Migraines with or without visual disturbances
• Tension-type headaches with a band-like pressure
• Headaches linked to neck stiffness or tension
• Pain behind the eyes
• Headaches that worsen with stress or prolonged sitting

How we may help

We assess your neck, upper back, and posture to identify any spinal restrictions or muscle tension that may be contributing to your headaches. Treatment typically includes gentle cervical and thoracic adjustments, soft tissue work on tight muscles, and advice on posture, hydration, and stress management. Many of our patients report a reduction in headache frequency and intensity with regular care.
