Migraines & Headaches Relief in Downtown Lebanon, Lebanon 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 Downtown Lebanon
A headache that keeps returning on a predictable schedule - worse in the afternoon, worse after a stressful week, worse with certain foods - usually isn't random. It's often the nervous system responding to a specific, identifiable irritant, most commonly tension and restriction building up in the neck and upper back. Dr. Wesley Stewart has spent 29 years helping patients map that pattern instead of just treating the pain as it happens.
Around Lebanon's historic Town Square - steps from the Wilson County Courthouse and Cumberland University - students, courthouse staff, and small-business owners alike describe headaches that track closely with long hours at a desk or on their feet on hard courthouse-square sidewalks.
