About This Service
About Our Headache & Migraine Care
A large share of recurring headaches are cervicogenic — meaning they originate in the neck. Tight suboccipital muscles, restricted upper cervical joints and forward head posture all refer pain up into the head, behind the eyes and across the temples.
We examine the cervical spine directly rather than treating the headache as an isolated event. When the neck is the driver, correcting it changes how often the headaches show up.
- Evaluation of the cervical spine as a headache source
- Gentle, specific upper cervical adjustments
- Postural correction to reduce daily strain
- Practical trigger review — desk setup, sleep position, stress load
- Care plans that measure frequency and intensity over time

Our Approach
Finding the Pattern Behind Your Headaches
Your first visit includes a full history — when headaches started, how often they occur, what makes them better or worse — along with an examination of how your neck moves and where it is restricted.
From there we build a plan that combines specific adjustments with corrective exercise and practical changes to the daily habits that keep loading your neck. Progress is tracked by what actually matters to you: how many headaches you are having, and how bad they are.
Common Questions
Questions Patients Ask Us
Can a chiropractor help with migraines?
Many patients with recurring headaches, including migraine patterns, have contributing cervical spine dysfunction. We evaluate the neck to determine whether structural issues are part of your headache picture.
What is a cervicogenic headache?
A cervicogenic headache originates from structures in the neck and refers pain into the head, commonly starting at the base of the skull and spreading forward toward the temples or behind the eyes.
How soon might I notice fewer headaches?
This varies by patient and by how long the pattern has been established. We track headache frequency and intensity from your first visit so changes are measured rather than guessed at.
Do I need a referral to be seen?
No referral is needed to schedule an evaluation at Aligned and Well Chiropractic. You can call us directly at (970) 800-3486.

Verified Patient“Having recently moved to Loveland, I was seeking a chiropractor closer to my home. I had a few unpleasant experiences with other Loveland chiropractic companies that are what I call ‘commercial chiropractic.’ Dr. Flemming’s passion for his practice was obvious to me from the first meeting. With every adjustment, I feel my body improve.”
