Headaches and migraines are not just inconvenient, they’re often signs of deeper neurological or musculoskeletal imbalances. At Performance Chiropractic in Keller, we commonly see causes such as:
- Tension, sinus, or vascular headaches and migraines
- Cervical spine misalignment or poor neck posture
- Stress and muscle tension from daily ergonomics (e.g., desk work, phone use)
- Nerve interference from spinal subluxations or inflammation
- Post-accident injuries such as whiplash or concussion
How We Address Headaches & Migraines in Keller, TX
At our Keller clinic, we combine several non-invasive, proven strategies to bring relief and restore balance:
Gentle Chiropractic Adjustments: Dr. Dennis James, DC, FASA, applies precise spinal corrections using a gentle technique. These adjustments improve nervous system function, relieve neck tension, and reduce headache frequency, and often eliminate them completely.
Acupuncture & Integrative Therapies: We offer needle-free acupuncture, red light therapy, shockwave therapy, and functional nutrition to reduce inflammation, restore circulation, and restore the balance and adaptability of the nervous system.
Advanced Diagnostics: We conduct detailed structural, neurological, and lifestyle assessments to uncover the root cause of chronic or recurring headaches.
Lifestyle & Ergonomic Coaching: We educate you on daily triggers, like posture, hydration, screen use, and stress, and provide sustainable habits to minimize future episodes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a neck misalignment cause migraines?
Yes. Misalignment in the cervical spine can compress nerves and blood vessels, which may trigger or worsen migraines.
Should I still visit a chiropractor if I take migraine medication?
Absolutely. Our goal is to reduce your dependence on medications by addressing the root causes of your pain through drug-free, holistic methods.
Can phone or computer use lead to headaches?
Yes. Forward head posture and neck strain from digital devices are common modern triggers for both tension headaches and migraines.
How soon can I expect relief?
Some patients feel improvement within just a few sessions. Chronic conditions may require a longer treatment plan, but most patients experience consistent relief over time.
When should I seek medical attention for a headache?
If you experience sudden, severe headaches, vision changes, difficulty speaking, or neurological symptoms, seek immediate medical care. Chiropractic care complements, not replaces, emergency medical evaluation.
