Headaches and migraines can feel overwhelming. Some people experience a dull, nagging ache that never seems to fully go away, while others are hit with severe migraines that come with nausea, vision changes, or sensitivity to light and sound. These episodes can keep you from working, spending time with family, or even getting through your daily routine.
​
At Move Chiropractic in Angier, Dr. David Carter understands how disruptive headaches and migraines can be. Our goal is to help you find lasting relief by addressing the underlying causes, not just masking the symptoms.
​
Common Causes of Headaches and Migraines
​
Headaches and migraines can develop for many reasons, including:
​
-
Stress and muscle tension in the neck and shoulders
-
Poor posture or spinal misalignments
-
Whiplash or past injuries
-
TMJ dysfunction (jaw problems)
-
Dehydration or lifestyle habits
-
Hormonal or neurological triggers
-
Eye strain or long hours at a computer
By identifying and addressing the root of the problem, chiropractic care can often reduce both the frequency and intensity of headaches and migraines.

How Move Chiropractic Helps with Headaches and Migraines
​
Dr. Carter uses safe, effective chiropractic adjustments to restore proper alignment and relieve tension in the spine and nervous system. When spinal misalignments are corrected, the body functions more efficiently, and the triggers that lead to headaches can often be reduced.
​
In addition to chiropractic adjustments, your care plan may include posture and lifestyle recommendations, stretches, or supportive therapies designed to prevent future episodes. Many of our patients in Angier notice not only fewer headaches, but also improvements in energy, focus, and overall well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions About Headache and Migraine Relief
​
Can chiropractic care really help with migraines?
Yes. Many migraine sufferers find significant relief through chiropractic care, especially when misalignments or tension are contributing factors.

How soon will I notice an improvement?
Every person is different. Some patients notice fewer headaches within the first few weeks of care, while others see gradual improvement over time. Dr. Carter will track your progress and adjust your care plan as needed.
​
Do I need to stop taking medication before starting chiropractic care?
No. Chiropractic care can be safely combined with other treatments. Many patients find they can reduce or eliminate their reliance on medication as their headaches improve.
