Migraine and Other Headaches in Palmyra
Few things can derail your day faster than a headache. Whether it’s a dull ache, tension creeping up your neck, or pounding pain that keeps you in bed, headaches are more than an inconvenience—they’re your body’s way of saying something is off.
At Fluvanna Family Chiropractic, we help patients from Palmyra, Lake Monticello, and Charlottesville find natural relief from migraines and other headaches. Dr. Carmelo Caratozzolo (“Dr. C”) brings over 30 years of experience caring for families of all ages, helping restore balance and function so your body can heal the way it was designed to.
Why Do Migraines and Headaches Happen?
There are lots of reasons why people get headaches and migraines. Some are lifestyle-related, such as dehydration, poor posture, or computer strain. Others tie back to the spine. Cervicogenic headaches start in the neck and radiate upward, while subluxations (spinal misalignments) caused by physical, chemical, or emotional stress can irritate nerves and blood vessels, setting the stage for headaches or migraines.
Postural issues and ergonomics—sitting too long, slouching, or poor workstation setup—can also strain the spine and trigger pain.
How Chiropractic Care Helps
Rather than masking symptoms with medication, chiropractic care looks at the root cause of headaches and migraines. Dr. C uses gentle, specific adjustments to increase blood flow and circulation, decrease nerve interference, relieve pressure in the upper cervical spine (a common factor in migraines), and correct postural imbalances that contribute to recurring episodes.
When tension eases and the nervous system works properly, your body can heal more effectively. Nutritional support and wellness coaching may also complement adjustments, ensuring your system has what it needs once interference is removed.
As Dr. C often says, “True health happens when every family member’s nervous system works the way it was designed—free of stress and interference.”
