Headaches & Migraines
Headaches and migraines can range from occasional discomfort to recurring symptoms that interfere with work, sleep, concentration, and everyday activities.
Some headaches may be associated with tension or musculoskeletal problems involving the neck and upper back, while migraines and other types of headaches can have different causes and contributing factors. Understanding the characteristics of your headaches and any associated symptoms is an important part of determining whether chiropractic care may be appropriate.
Common Symptoms
Headaches and migraines may include:
- Dull, aching, or throbbing pain
- Pressure or tightness around the head
- Pain at the base of the skull
- Head pain associated with neck tension or stiffness

If recurring headaches or migraines are interfering with your work, sleep, or everyday activities, schedule an evaluation at Smithfield Chiropractic to determine whether musculoskeletal factors may be contributing to your symptoms and what treatment options may be appropriate.
