Headaches sits within our Chiropractic Sports Medicine pillar at FRI.

What Headaches usually looks like

Cervicogenic headaches often start at the base of the skull and wrap toward the temple or eye. They tend to follow neck posture, jaw clenching, or a stiff upper back more than a random migraine trigger.

How a visit for Headaches is different

We separate joint-driven headaches from migraine and from jaw-driven pain on the exam. Hands-on work targets the segments that reproduce the head pain, and the plan includes what to change between visits.
