Migraine & Headache Treatment in Greenville, SC

Headaches and migraines can be more than just an inconvenience—they can interfere with your work, family life, and ability to enjoy each day. At Highlands Chiropractic, we help patients in Greenville find lasting relief from recurring head pain by addressing the underlying causes rather than just masking the symptoms.

Why Do Headaches and Migraines Happen?

Headaches and migraines can stem from a variety of factors:

  • Poor posture or spinal misalignments (especially in the neck)
  • Muscle tension in the shoulders and upper back
  • Stress and lifestyle factors
  • Nerve irritation or restricted blood flow
  • Previous injuries or trauma

When the spine is out of alignment, nerves and muscles are placed under extra stress, which can trigger painful headaches or migraines.

How it helps

How Chiropractic Care Helps with Headaches

Chiropractic adjustments restore proper alignment and improve nervous system function. This often reduces the frequency and intensity of headaches. Many patients report experiencing:

Reduced headache and migraine episodes

Less reliance on medication for pain relief

Improved posture and mobility

Better sleep and energy levels

Relief from associated neck and shoulder tension

What to Expect When You Visit

Your first visit includes a detailed consultation and exam where we’ll listen to your concerns, evaluate your movement, and identify areas of injury. If chiropractic is a good fit, we’ll begin a custom care plan that may include gentle adjustments, muscle work, and movement support.

Every visit builds on the last to help you feel better, move easier, and heal more fully—without forcing your body or rushing your recovery.

Testimonials

What Our Patients Are Saying

"Dr. Currie and his staff are awesome. I had never been to a chiropractor before. I’ve dealt with a stiff neck and back for a while and decided to give it a shot. Not only has he helped with those issues but also my knee that I thought would need surgery. They are certainly top notch in every way."

Richard K.

"After a car accident this weekend, I was experiencing neck and shoulder pain. Dr Currie and his staff made time in their schedule to meet with me and help alleviate my pain. It’s comforting to know Dr Currie takes time with his patients and is thorough. The staff at Highlands Chiro is like family!"

Kevin and Shannon

"Dr. Currie and his staff are second to none when it comes to the care and results they provide. I have been seeing Dr. Currie regularly for almost two years and I am feeling better than I have in my entire life."

Walter C.

"Highlands is amazing! I have been to a few chiropractors in the past that did little to help me. After my first adjustment I felt better than I had in ten years since my neck problems began! (No exaggeration!) I cannot believe how freeing it is to have my spine in better alignment."

Elissa G.

"Dr. Currie is an absolute professional. He takes the time to explain what’s going on, how he will proceed, and sets reasonable expectations. After being a patient of his for about a year, I can’t recommend him highly enough."

FAQs

Your Questions, Answered

If you’re new to chiropractic or just new to our office, we’re here to make things simple. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we hear.

What’s the difference between a headache and a migraine?

Headaches usually cause mild to moderate pain in the head or neck, while migraines are often more intense and can include symptoms like nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, and visual disturbances (auras). Migraines can last for hours or even days.

Can chiropractic care really help with migraines?

Yes. Chiropractic adjustments help improve spinal alignment and reduce nerve irritation that may trigger migraines. Many patients experience fewer and less severe headaches with consistent care.

What causes chronic headaches or migraines?

Common triggers include stress, poor posture, muscle tension in the neck and shoulders, dehydration, hormonal changes, or certain foods. Misalignment in the upper spine can also contribute to nerve irritation that leads to head pain.

How long does it take to see results?

Some patients feel relief after their first few visits, while others notice gradual improvement over several weeks. The key to lasting results is identifying and addressing the root cause of your headaches.

Do chiropractic adjustments hurt?

No. Adjustments are gentle and customized to your comfort level. Most patients describe the experience as relieving or relaxing, not painful.

Can chiropractic help if I’ve already tried medication?

Absolutely. Many patients turn to chiropractic care after finding that medication only masks symptoms. Our approach focuses on restoring balance and alignment to prevent headaches from recurring.

Should I see a chiropractor if my headaches are stress-related?

Yes. Stress often causes muscle tension and spinal misalignment that can lead to headaches. Chiropractic care, combined with relaxation and lifestyle strategies, can help reduce both the frequency and intensity of stress-related headaches.
