Let’s fix your headaches and migraines.
Recurring headaches can be draining. Whether it’s a dull pressure across your forehead, tightness at the base of your skull, or intense migraine episodes that force you to lie down in a dark room, the impact on daily life can be significant.
At Summit Chiropractic, we regularly support people dealing with tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches, and migraines. Rather than masking symptoms, we focus on identifying the mechanical and postural factors that may be contributing to your pain.
As a trusted headache chiropractor, our goal is to improve how your neck and upper back move, reduce muscular tension, and support long-term change.

Headaches and migraines explained.
Headaches and migraines are common and often linked to tension, posture, or neck dysfunction. Here’s what you need to know and how chiropractic treatment can help:
-
Headaches can develop for many reasons, often linked to tension, posture, or strain through the neck and upper back.
Some people experience symptoms due to lifestyle habits or ongoing stress. Common contributing factors include:
Poor posture, especially forward head position
Tight neck and shoulder muscles
Joint restriction in the upper spine
Stress and muscle tension
Jaw clenching or grinding
Previous neck injuries
Prolonged screen time
Poor sleep habits
-
Symptoms vary depending on the type of headache.
Common tension or cervicogenic headache symptoms include:
Dull, aching pain around the forehead or temples
Tightness at the base of the skull
Neck stiffness
Pain that worsens after sitting for long periods
Migraine symptoms may include:
Throbbing or pulsing pain, often on one side
Sensitivity to light or sound
Nausea
Visual disturbances or aura
Needing to rest in a dark, quiet room
