HEADACHES & MIGRAINES

Chiropractic Care for Headaches & Migraines in Union, NJ

Headaches and migraines can impact concentration, work, mood, and daily comfort. Many patients experience headaches that return frequently or worsen over time without knowing the root cause. Chiropractic care offers a natural approach to reducing headache frequency and intensity by improving spinal and nervous system function.

Why Do Headaches Happen?

While headaches are common, they are not “normal.” Many originate from cervical spine tension, nervous system stress, muscle imbalance, or lifestyle patterns. Common contributors include:

  • Tech neck & screen use
  • Poor posture & workstation ergonomics
  • Spinal misalignment
  • Tension in the neck & shoulders
  • Whiplash or previous injuries
  • Stress & inflammation
  • Jaw tension (TMJ influence)
  • Hormonal or neurological factors


When these patterns persist, the nervous system becomes more sensitive, triggering headaches or migraines.

Symptoms Patients Commonly Experience

Patients report symptoms such as:

  • Pressure behind the eyes or forehead
  • Pain at the base of the skull
  • Light or sound sensitivity
  • Nausea or visual disturbances (migraines)
  • Tension in the neck or shoulders
  • Radiating or stabbing head pain
  • Difficulty focusing or sleeping


Even mild headaches can affect productivity and quality of life.

How Chiropractic Care Helps Headaches & Migraines

The cervical spine plays a direct role in headache development. Misalignments, tension, or restricted motion in the upper spine can irritate surrounding nerves and tissues.

Chiropractic adjustments help by:

✔ Improving cervical spine alignment
✔ Reducing tension & muscle stress
✔ Enhancing nervous system regulation
✔ Supporting blood flow & mobility
✔ Lowering headache triggers

Many patients notice fewer headaches and improved daily comfort over time.
