Migraines & Headaches Relief in Green Hills, Nashville 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 Green Hills
A headache that intensifies in bright, loud, or crowded environments is a strong signal that light and sound sensitivity - not just pain - are part of what's happening. That heightened sensitivity is a hallmark of migraine, and it frequently has a mechanical component originating in neck and upper-spine irritation that can be identified and treated directly. Dr. Wesley Stewart has spent 29 years helping patients throughout Middle Tennessee, including Nashville, work through exactly that kind of pattern.
Patients from Green Hills - the shopping and dining hub anchored by Green Hills Mall along Hillsboro Pike - often mention that traffic congestion and bright retail lighting are reliable triggers for their headaches.
