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.

Headaches and migraines can stem from a variety of factors:
When the spine is out of alignment, nerves and muscles are placed under extra stress, which can trigger painful headaches or migraines.
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
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.
At Highlands Chiropractic, we treat more than just symptoms—we focus on what your body needs to heal from the inside out. Your care is always personalized, and we’ll adjust your plan as your recovery progresses. We also keep communication clear, so you know what’s happening and why every step of the way.
