TOPCHIRO
Headaches and Migraines
Headaches and migraines can be incredibly debilitating, especially when they occur frequently or are severe enough to disrupt daily life. At TOPCHIRO, we understand how significantly these conditions can impact your wellbeing.
We take a thorough, neurologically focused approach to care and recognise that dysfunction within the cervical spine, particularly the upper cervical region can influence both blood flow and nervous system function, often contributing to recurring headaches and migraines.
By identifying and gently correcting spinal misalignments, we aim to reduce stress on the nervous system and support your body’s natural ability to self-regulate. Many of our clients experience fewer, less intense episodes of migraines and headaches with ongoing care.
Common migraine triggers:
While the exact cause of migraines remains unclear, both genetic predispositions and environmental triggers are known to play a role. These may include:
- Hormonal changes (particularly in women)
- Alcohol or caffeine
- High stress levels
- Bright lights, loud noises, or strong smells
- Irregular sleep patterns
- Physical exertion
- Weather and barometric pressure changes
- Certain foods and food additives
- Medications or medication withdrawal
The importance of the cervical spine:
A frequently overlooked contributor to migraines is trauma or dysfunction in the neck, especially the upper cervical spine (C1 and C2 vertebrae). Injuries like whiplash, even if they occurred years ago, can create subtle misalignments that place pressure on surrounding soft tissues and interfere with critical neurological pathways near the brainstem.
When this happens, normal communication between the brain and body can become disrupted, potentially triggering or exacerbating migraine symptoms
What are migraines?
Migraines are more than just headaches. They’re a complex neurological condition typically involving one-sided, throbbing or pulsing head pain, often accompanied by:
- Nausea or vomiting
- Visual disturbances (aura)
- Sensitivity to light, sound, or smells
- Dizziness or light-headedness
Episodes can last from a few hours to several days, and in many cases, interfere with daily tasks and responsibilities.
How can chiropractic care help?
At TOPCHIRO, we focus on restoring alignment to the spine to reduce neurological stress and help the body function more efficiently. Using precise, gentle chiropractic adjustments, we work to correct these misalignments, reduce irritation to the nervous system, and restore balance.
We work closely with leading Upper Cervical Chiropractors within the UK. When clinically appropriate, we can refer for advanced imaging or specialist evaluation to ensure the most accurate analysis, care recommendation and targeted care plan.
Many of our clients who have suffered from persistent headaches and migraines have found lasting relief through chiropractic care. In addition to a reduction in migraine frequency and severity, they often report better sleep, improved energy, and enhanced overall wellbeing.
If you’re living with chronic headaches or migraines and haven’t found a long-term solution, it may be time to consider chiropractic care as a drug-free, holistic alternative.
At TOPCHIRO, we’re here to help you uncover and address the root cause, not just manage the symptoms.
What our clients are saying:
“My headaches were reduced significantly”
I visited Paris eight weeks ago with constant headaches radiating from the front to the back of the neck and across the shoulders. After an x-ray it showed the start of arthritis a couple of discs down the spine, the treatment involved manipulating the neck which was uncomfortable the first time but the discomfort reduced over the sessions and other manipulations took place. After six weeks my headaches had reduced significantly and my neck flexibility increased so I could actually turn my head easier left and right. I will continue to visit Paris very four to six weeks for a session to hopefully continue with a better head and flexibility in the neck. Highly recommend Paris for treatment.

“I wish I had come sooner”
Ive been suffering from migraines for at least 20 years and for the last few years I have been waking up with daily headaches. I was recommended by my friend to try Top Chiro and I wish I had come sooner. I’ve been coming to see Alex for 12 weeks now and I’ve gone from daily headaches and biweekly migraines to almost none at all. Alex has been so informative, explaining everything in detail and making sure I’m comfortable, and helped me not just from a chiropractor point of view but advising me on other holistic remedies to help. Nothing is too much trouble. I would highly recommend Alex and Top Chiro to anyone who is suffering from headaches or migraines. Thank you again Alex and all at Top Chiro 🙂

“Improved quality of life”
I have been receiving treatment from Amy for the last couple of months and can’t begin to describe how appreciative I am for my improved quality of live since my first session with her. My migraines have almost entirely disappeared and Amy has always been helpful to guide me as I work to build tools that will allow me to sustain my health despite the demands of my work. Highly recommend Amy and the whole team here!
