Chiropractic Care for Migraine Treatment in Woodbridge, VA
A Gentle Partner in Your Migraine Plan
Migraines can take over an entire day, and many people feel stuck in a loop of triggers and medication. Palmercare Chiropractic Woodbridge offers gentle care that addresses neck and posture factors that may play a role.
Our doctors work alongside your medical provider, never in place of them, and they will tell you when something needs a neurologist’s attention.
Understanding Chiropractic Care for Migraines
Migraines are a neurological condition with many triggers, and neck tension often shows up alongside them. Easing mechanical stress in the neck and upper back may help some people feel fewer effects.
Dr. Eric Meyer and Dr. Todd Redfearn examine neck motion, spinal alignment, and posture, and they recommend referral whenever your symptoms call for it.
Patients often seek care alongside their medical team for:
- Migraines with neck stiffness
- Pain that begins at the base of the skull
- Frequent head pain with screen use
- Tension through the shoulders
- Attacks that follow stress or poor sleep
- Symptoms that persist despite medication
We cannot promise to end migraines, but we can address the physical contributors we find.

A Careful History and Exam
We review your migraine pattern, medications, and triggers, then assess neck motion, posture, and spinal function to see whether a mechanical factor may be involved.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle adjustments aim to restore movement and ease tension in the neck and upper back, which some patients find helps reduce the strain that accompanies their attacks.

We help you spot posture, desk, and sleep patterns that may feed attacks, and we suggest realistic changes you can try alongside your medical care.
Coordination With Your Providers
