At Family Chiropractic Center, our Farmington chiropractors consider your neck, jaw, previous injuries, lifestyle and other factors that may be associated with recurring headaches.

NEW PATIENTS

Why the Neck Is Rarely the Whole Headache Story

For some patients, areas of restricted or altered movement in the upper or lower neck may occur alongside muscle tension around the neck and base of the skull. With migraines, our chiropractors also take the cranial bones into account.

Jaw tension, clenching, TMJ concerns, sinus pressure and a history of whiplash or other head and neck injuries may also be relevant.

The Stress, Tension and Habits Worth Looking At

During your consultation, your chiropractor may ask about:

Neck and upper back tension
Jaw tension, clenching or TMJ concerns
Sinus pressure

Previous injuries
Hydration and nutritional factors
Stress and muscle tension patterns

This broader conversation helps build a clearer picture of your individual headache pattern.

Tension Headaches and Migraines Can Feel Different

Tension-type headaches are often described as a dull or pressing sensation and may occur with tight shoulders or neck stiffness. Migraines may involve throbbing pain, sensitivity to light or sound and symptoms that affect one side more than the other.

Because headache types vary, your history plays a large role in deciding what comes next.

A Detailed Conversation, INSiGHT™ Scanning and Chiropractic Care

Much of the useful information comes from listening. We’ll ask about your symptoms, past injuries, hydration, diet and other factors before completing an examination.

An INSiGHT scan may provide additional information about patterns related to nervous system activity and stress. Our chiropractors consider those findings, alongside your history and examination, rather than relying on one result alone.

Other therapies may be considered, along with chiropractic adjustments, when appropriate. If muscle tension remains a concern with treatments, massage therapy or acupuncture may also be discussed.

Response to care varies. We look at changes in headache frequency, intensity and how much symptoms interfere with daily life. If you’re not responding as expected, your plan can be reassessed.

Frequently Asked Questions
