Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a chiropractor help with migraines?
A chiropractor may help some people by easing neck and upper back tension that adds to head pain, but the research is mixed. We use gentle adjustments and acupuncture, track your response, and will suggest seeing a doctor if your migraines need medical care.
Can a chiropractor help with headaches?
It can help with tension-type headaches that come from tight neck and shoulder muscles. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) says it's uncertain whether manipulation helps headaches overall, so we keep care gentle and measure progress as you go.
Is acupuncture good for migraines?
It may help. NCCIH reports that acupuncture may reduce how often migraines occur, though results vary. We offer traditional, electric, and laser acupuncture, and you can learn more on our acupuncture page.
What is the difference between a tension headache and a migraine?
A tension headache usually feels like steady pressure on both sides of the head. A migraine often brings throbbing pain on one side, nausea, and sensitivity to light or sound. Dr. Meier can help you figure out which pattern fits you.
