Headaches That Show Up Again and Again

Reviewed by Dr. Dustin Dukart, DC

Not the occasional one-off — the kind that keeps coming back on a pattern you can almost predict. Before anything else, we check for the rare warning signs that mean a headache needs more than a chiropractic visit, then look at whether a neck-driven component is actually part of what you’re dealing with.

We Test for a Neck Component — Honestly

Headaches often have a component that starts in the neck — and it’s a real, testable thing, not a guess. We use a specific neck-rotation test, along with a hands-on exam of the upper neck joints and muscles, to find out whether a neck-driven component is actually present in your case. When it is, that’s a piece of the picture we can directly address. We’ll always be upfront about what the exam does and doesn’t show — including when a headache looks more like a primary migraine, which deserves a different, honest conversation about what care can realistically offer.

If neck pain — or jaw pain and clicking, which often travels with headache — is part of the picture for you, that’s often where we start.

Evidence-Informed Care

This is an area where the research is still genuinely mixed — we won’t oversell what a neck-focused exam can do for every headache. What we can offer is an honest read on whether your case has a testable neck component, and a plan built around what we actually find, not a blanket claim.
