The Connection Between Neck Pain and Migraines

Neck pain has the potential to irritate the upper portion of the spine, which results in pain in the lower portion of the head and possibly in the temples or behind the eyes. The upper portion of the spine shares a nerve route to the cranium. This particular nerve is the main one responsible for sending messages from the face to the brain. That's why issues with the neck have the potential to cause head-related symptoms. For instance, whiplash often causes damage further leading to headaches and back pain.

How Our Chiropractor Treats Migraines Related to Neck Pain

Diagnosing the issue is the first step to solving your neck pain in Atlanta as well as your migraine pain. Our chiropractor will acquire a detailed medical history, which can help us determine any possible neck pain causes. Then, our chiropractor will perform a physical examination and possibly imaging to get a better understanding of any physiological issues you may have that could be one of your neck pain causes.    

Our chiropractor may perform manual manipulation to realign all areas of the spine. This particular procedure is noninvasive and can reposition any vertebrae and disk alignment issues that could be causing your neck pain, especially if they're irritating any soft tissue or nerves surrounding the spine. 

Another treatment we commonly used for neck pain in Atlanta is exercise therapy. Our chiropractor will guide you through exercises that will gently work the muscles in the neck. By working these muscles, it can ease your pain and discomfort. We may also use massage therapy to relax the muscles and enhance blood flow to the area.
