Help for Migraines in Bolton
Not all headaches are created equal. If your pain comes with nausea, light sensitivity, or a pulsing feeling behind your eyes, there’s a good chance you’re dealing with migraines, not just a tension headache. These are intense, often disabling episodes that don’t just affect your head—they can disrupt your entire day.
Our team at Inside Out Family Chiropractic helps people understand where their migraines are coming from and how to reduce their intensity and frequency without relying solely on medication.

Why Migraines Feel So Overwhelming
Migraines are more than just head pain. They’re complex neurovascular events involving throbbing sensations, visual disturbances (auras), dizziness, and heightened sensitivity to sounds, smells, and light. Some people know when one’s coming. Others are caught off guard. Either way, they tend to follow patterns that can be managed once they’re understood.
Learning to Identify Your Triggers
Migraines often have hidden triggers, many of which go unnoticed. These can include:
- Dehydration or skipping meals
- Sleep disruptions
- Certain food additives (like MSG or nitrates)
- Hormonal shifts
- Barometric pressure changes
- Forward head posture and neck tension
That last one surprises many people, but it’s one of the most common links we see in practice.
What the Neck Has to Do With Relieving Your Pain
The upper cervical spine plays a major role in blood flow and nerve signalling to the brain. When this area is out of alignment or under stress, whether from posture, injury, or tension, it can contribute to migraine symptoms. Chiropractic care focused on this region often brings meaningful relief.
Based on your unique triggers, we may also suggest strategies like magnesium-rich nutrition, myofascial release, postural rehab, and lifestyle tweaks. Keeping a migraine diary can help you connect the dots.
