Headaches and migraines can often be traced back to issues in a crucial area of the neck known as the upper cervical spine or craniocervical junction. This region, where the skull connects to the top of the spine, is vital for supporting the head and allowing for a wide range of motion. However, when there’s a misalignment in this area, it can lead to significant discomfort, including headaches and migraines.
The upper cervical spine is particularly sensitive because it houses nerves and blood vessels that supply the head. When this area is out of alignment, it can irritate nerves, restrict blood flow, and cause muscle tension, all of which can trigger headaches. People often experience a dull ache at the base of the skull, pain that radiates to the forehead or temples, and even migraine episodes characterized by intense, throbbing pain, nausea, and light sensitivity.
Chiropractic care focusing on the upper cervical spine offers a natural and effective solution. By gently adjusting the alignment of the craniocervical junction, upper cervical chiropractic care can relieve pressure on the nerves, improve circulation, and reduce muscle tension. This approach alleviates existing headaches and migraines and helps prevent them from recurring, providing long-term relief and improving overall well-being.
