Your head isn't the problem. Your neck is. We trace the neurological signal from the brainstem to the source of the pain.
Throbbing, one-sided pain, often with aura or light sensitivity. Caused by vascular dilation triggered by nerve irritation.
The "viselike" band of pressure. Usually driven by Forward Head Posture ("Tech Neck") creating extreme tension in the suboccipital muscles.
Head pain that actually originates in the neck. Misalignment at C1/C2 refers pain into the eye, forehead, or temple.
Why does your face hurt when your neck is tight? It's anatomy.
The nerve center for the head/face (Trigeminal Nucleus) sits right next to the nerves for the upper neck.
When the upper neck (C1/C2) is misaligned, it bombards this nucleus with "noise."
The brain interprets this neck noise as pain in the head. We fix the neck, and the "alarm" turns off.
The neurological gateway.
We gently realign the Atlas (C1) and Axis (C2) vertebrae to take physical pressure off the brainstem.
Using IASTM or manual release on the suboccipital muscles to stop the "tension clamp" at the base of the skull.
Magnesium and riboflavin protocols (via our Dispensary) to stabilize the vascular response.
