Headache & Migraine Treatment in Madison, MS
A headache that won’t quit, or a migraine that knocks out your whole day, isn’t something you have to just push through. Jones Chiropractic provides headache and migraine treatment in Madison, MS to address what’s actually triggering your pain, often starting in your neck and upper back rather than your head itself. Dr. Jefferey P. Jones and Dr. Marshall L. Jones evaluate your spine and symptoms first, so your treatment plan targets the real cause instead of just the pain.
Understanding Headaches and Migraines
Not all head pain is the same, and knowing which type you’re dealing with matters for treatment. Tension headaches are the most common, showing up as a dull, aching pressure around the forehead or back of the head, often linked to muscle tension in the neck and shoulders. Cluster headaches are less common but more intense, typically one-sided and occurring in cyclical patterns. Migraines go further, bringing throbbing pain, nausea, light sensitivity, or visual disturbances that can last hours or days. Misalignment in the neck and upper back can irritate nerves and restrict blood flow, a contributing factor behind many recurring headaches and migraines.

When Headaches Need Immediate Medical Attention
Most headaches and migraines respond well to conservative care, but a few warning signs need emergency medical attention right away. Seek immediate care for a sudden, severe headache unlike any you’ve had before, a headache following a head injury, or one accompanied by fever, stiff neck, confusion, vision loss, slurred speech, or weakness on one side of your body. These symptoms can point to something more serious than a typical headache and require evaluation beyond what chiropractic care alone can address.
