Looking for migraine and headache treatment in Germantown, WI? Not every headache is a migraine, and not every headache has the same cause. Some start in the neck. A chiropractor cannot treat every kind, but at Yentz Family Chiropractic we can check whether your neck and upper back are part of the problem.
Clues that the neck may play a part:
Headaches with a neck link are often called cervicogenic headaches. An exam tells us more than guessing does.
We ask how often your headaches come, where they start, and what seems to set them off. Then we check neck movement, upper back and shoulder posture, and the joints at the base of the skull. Tight muscles and stiff neck joints can add to headaches in some people.
Results vary. If your headaches do not look neck-related, we will tell you and suggest you see your medical doctor. Our migraine service page has more on how we approach it. If your neck is the main problem, see neck pain treatment in Germantown.
These do not replace medical care, but many people find them worth a try. Sleep at regular hours. Eat on a schedule instead of skipping meals. Drink water during the day. Take breaks from screens and check that your monitor is not too low. Write down when each headache starts and what happened that day. After a few weeks, a pattern often shows up, and it gives you something concrete to share with us or with your doctor.
Your headaches are new, are getting worse fast, or feel different from your usual ones. Those need a medical check before anything else. We are glad to work alongside your doctor once that is sorted out.
Go to the emergency room for a sudden, severe headache unlike any you have had, or one with fever and a stiff neck, confusion, weakness, trouble speaking, or vision loss.

It depends on the cause. When the neck contributes, many people find care helps. We cannot promise results, and we will refer you if your headaches need medical care.
Clues include neck stiffness, pain that starts at the base of the skull, and headaches that change with neck position. An exam tells us more.
Migraines are often one-sided and can bring nausea or light sensitivity. Tension headaches feel like a tight band. Many people have both, and your doctor can help sort it out.
