Chiropractic Care for Headaches & Migraines
Headaches and migraines can interfere with your focus, energy, and overall quality of life. Whether it begins as a dull ache behind your eyes or builds into intense, recurring migraines, the root cause often lies in spinal misalignments and nerve tension—especially in the upper neck and cervical spine.
Epic Life Chiropractic in Wauwatosa focuses on correcting these underlying issues. Dr. Jeff Grosskopf combines advanced spinal imaging, MyoVision nerve scans, and gentle chiropractic adjustments to reduce nerve interference and restore balance in the body. Our approach provides relief without relying on pain medications or injections.
Our Headaches Treatment Approach
Epic Life Chiropractic is known for a care model built on precision, comfort, and results. We specialize in identifying hidden spinal injuries that often go overlooked and treating them through non-invasive methods that promote true healing. Our most commonly used technique is the Torque Release Technique, supported by MyoVision scanning and digital motion X-rays.
Torque Release Technique (TRT)
Accurate and Gentle
TRT uses the Integrator, a handheld instrument that delivers a controlled adjustment with pinpoint accuracy. It allows for comfortable care without twisting or cracking the spine.
Targets Nervous System Function
The nervous system plays a major role in headache and migraine development. TRT improves spinal alignment and reduces stress on the nerves, helping the body heal and function properly.
Safe for All Ages
This technique is ideal for children, adults, and anyone seeking gentle care. Many patients with a history of chronic headaches benefit from its precise and calming touch.
Effective for Tension and Migraine Relief
TRT is particularly effective for addressing subluxations, nerve interference, and ligament damage that contribute to recurring headaches.
MyoVision Scanning
MyoVision scanning is one of the most important tools we use to find what other providers often overlook. It works by measuring the electrical activity of spinal muscles. When your body is compensating for a spinal ligament injury or misalignment, the surrounding muscles react by tensing or fatiguing. MyoVision helps us document these patterns and see the effects of nerve interference in real time.
This scan gives us a baseline for your spinal health and shows how your body responds to chiropractic care over time. It is non-invasive, safe for all ages, and often provides answers when traditional tests come up short.
Many headaches are not just surface-level discomfort. They often stem from spinal misalignments, cervical ligament injury, or stress on the nerves at the base of the skull. Poor posture, whiplash, or previous head trauma can also contribute to chronic symptoms.
We use digital motion imaging and neurological scans to identify the exact cause and guide a care plan that is tailored to your needs.
Common Headache Conditions We Treat
Tension Headaches
Tight muscles and stress can trigger headaches across the forehead, temples, or back of the head. Our care releases this tension and restores alignment.
Migraines
These severe headaches often come with nausea, sensitivity to light, and visual disturbances. By improving nerve function and reducing spinal stress, we help reduce both the frequency and intensity of migraines.
Post-Concussion Headaches
Even mild concussions can cause lingering headaches. We focus on restoring normal spinal and nerve function to ease symptoms.
Cervicogenic Headaches
When pain begins in the neck and radiates to the head, it may be tied to cervical spine issues. Our gentle corrections target these problems directly.
Vertebral Subluxations
Misalignments in the upper neck can interfere with nerve flow and contribute to chronic headache cycles. We correct these precisely and safely.
Activities Benefiting from Our Treatment
Headaches can affect your work, focus, sleep, and daily energy. We care for patients from all backgrounds who want fewer sick days, better sleep, and more consistent energy. Whether you are a student, parent, or professional, we help you feel more present and pain-free.
