How we approach this at University Physical Medicine
Detailed history to classify the headache pattern (tension, cervicogenic, migraine, or mixed).
Cervical and upper-thoracic exam to identify joint and soft-tissue contributors.
Chiropractic, trigger-point work, and posture rehab targeted at the musculoskeletal drivers.
Hormone or thyroid screening with Celeste Lind, A.P.R.N. when the pattern suggests it.
Individual results may vary. Our providers will recommend a plan based on your evaluation.
Questions patients ask about this
Will chiropractic care cure my migraines?
Migraines are complex. Many patients see fewer or less intense episodes when the musculoskeletal contributors are addressed, but we set realistic expectations — not every migraine has the same driver.
Should I keep taking my prescription medication?
Yes — don't change anything your prescriber put you on without talking to them. We work alongside your prescribing physician, not around them.
