Migraines & headaches · Grand Rapids, MI
Headaches this often are not normal. Your neck may be part of why.
Knapp Family Chiropractic in Grand Rapids works with patients whose headaches and migraines have quietly taken over the calendar. For many of them, the upper neck plays a bigger role than they were ever told.
Sound like you?
- Headaches several times a week, or migraines that cost you whole days
- Pain that starts at the base of the skull or behind one eye
- A neck that always feels tight, especially after desk work
- Medication manages the pain but never changes the pattern
How Dr. Knapp looks at it
The joints and nerves of the upper cervical spine can contribute to several common headache types. Dr. Knapp examines the neck segment by segment, with X-ray when indicated, to find fixations or misalignments that may be feeding the pattern. For many patients, correcting the upper-neck problem involved can reduce how often headaches come and how hard they hit.
What to expect
A careful history first, because headache patterns matter. Then a close exam of the neck and upper back. You see the findings before anything is adjusted, and Dr. Knapp reviews your plan as the pattern changes.
