“I started having migraine headaches and conventional methods were not working. I thought chiropractic care was an alternative medicine I didn’t need to explore. My migraines went away and that was enough to convince me.”
Terry C.
“I suffered with neck pain and headaches for as long as I can remember. Seen specialists, had tests done, been on medications only to be told, there is nothing wrong, tests came back normal. Then I met Dr. Collins at my gym, talked to him and decided to give chiropractic care a try. What a dramatic improvement! If only I had known then what I know now, I wouldn’t have had to suffer all those years.“

This depends on your condition. Early treatment is often more frequent – 2 to 3 times per week – to help your body adapt. Many patients notice improvements within 6-12 visits, including reduced headache frequency and intensity, improved neck mobility, and better posture. Full correction typically takes 6–20 visits, depending on lifestyle and underlying issues.
Some headaches can go away on their own. However, recurring headaches often have an underlying cause like neck tension, poor posture, or stress.
If you’re getting them regularly or relying on medication, it’s a sign the problem may not resolve without care. Addressing the cause early can help reduce frequency and severity.
You should get help if headaches are frequent, getting worse, or affecting your daily life.
Watch for signs like recurring pain, neck stiffness, headaches after desk work, or migraines that disrupt sleep or activities. Early care is often easier and more effective.
Yes, neck problems are a common cause of headaches.
Stiff joints, muscle tension, and poor posture can refer pain into the head. This often shows up as pain at the base of the skull or headaches after sitting.
Improving how the neck moves can help reduce both frequency and intensity.
