Nerve
Headache & Migraine Relief
Recurring headaches have a driver.
It is often in the neck.
Precise upper-cervical care and soft-tissue therapy target the joint and nerve patterns behind tension headaches and migraines. The goal is fewer episodes and lighter ones — measured, not guessed.

How It Works
Your headaches & migraines program, step by step.
01
Headache history & exam
Dr. Smith maps your headache pattern, triggers, and prior workup, then performs a targeted upper-cervical and neurological exam.
02
Imaging review (when indicated)
Review of any prior imaging, or referral for new imaging if the exam suggests it's needed.
03
Targeted adjustments & soft-tissue care
Precise upper-cervical adjustments and muscle work aimed at the joints and tissues driving your pattern.
04
Progress checks & lifestyle inputs
We track frequency, intensity, and duration between visits, and layer in posture, sleep, and hydration strategies that support the plan.
