Migraines & Headaches Relief in Cool Springs, Franklin TN
Migraines and tension headaches are often treated as a purely neurological issue, but a significant number are linked to tension and misalignment in the neck and upper back. When the joints and muscles of the cervical spine are irritated, they can refer pain directly into the head.
Treating Migraines & Headaches in Cool Springs
Office workers are some of the most frequent migraine and tension-headache sufferers we see, and it's rarely a coincidence. Hours spent staring at a screen with the head tilted forward place continuous strain on the same neck joints and muscles that, when irritated, refer pain straight into the head. Over 29 years of practice, Dr. Wesley Stewart has focused on correcting that underlying strain rather than simply prescribing rest.
Cool Springs - Franklin's dense office and retail corridor along Cool Springs Boulevard near I-65 - is full of exactly this kind of desk-bound workday, and it's one of the most common headache patterns we hear described by patients who work in the area.
