About Headache & Migraine Relief
Headaches and migraines are among the most common and debilitating conditions affecting millions of Americans. Many people don't realize that chiropractic care offers a highly effective, drug-free solution. At Empire Chiropractic in Nyack, NY, Dr. Jerome Greenberg has helped countless patients achieve lasting relief from chronic headaches and migraines through precise spinal adjustments and holistic care.
Many headaches originate in the neck. Tension in the cervical spine — whether from poor posture, stress, auto injury, or spinal misalignment — can directly trigger pain that radiates into the head. Chiropractic adjustments address the root cause rather than simply masking symptoms with medication.
Free Consultation## Types of Headaches Chiropractic Can Treat
Tension headaches are the most common type, typically caused by muscle tension in the neck and shoulders. Cervicogenic headaches originate from dysfunction in the cervical spine and often present as pain on one side of the head. Migraines, which involve severe throbbing pain often accompanied by nausea, light sensitivity, and visual disturbances, can also be reduced in frequency and severity through regular chiropractic care.
## How Dr. Greenberg Treats Headaches
Dr. Greenberg begins with a comprehensive evaluation to identify the source of your headaches. He then creates a personalized treatment plan that may include spinal adjustments to restore proper cervical alignment, soft tissue therapy to release muscle tension, posture correction and ergonomic guidance, and lifestyle recommendations to reduce headache triggers.
Research published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that spinal manipulation is an effective treatment for tension headaches and can reduce both the frequency and intensity of migraines. Unlike medications, chiropractic care works to correct the underlying dysfunction — providing lasting relief rather than temporary suppression.
If you suffer from frequent headaches or debilitating migraines, you don't have to live with the pain. Dr. Greenberg accepts most insurance plans and offers free consultations for new patients. Call Empire Chiropractic today at (917) 882-9635 to schedule your appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can chiropractic care really help with migraines?
Yes. Multiple clinical studies have shown that chiropractic spinal manipulation can reduce the frequency and severity of migraines. Many patients experience significant improvement with regular care, particularly when migraines are triggered by cervical spine tension or misalignment.
How many sessions will I need to see results?
Many patients notice improvement within 4-6 sessions. Dr. Greenberg will evaluate your specific condition and recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Some patients achieve lasting relief; others benefit from ongoing maintenance care.
What causes cervicogenic headaches?
Cervicogenic headaches originate from dysfunction in the neck, including misaligned vertebrae, tight muscles, or irritated nerves in the cervical spine. They are often made worse by prolonged sitting, looking down at screens, or sleeping in awkward positions. Chiropractic adjustments directly address these causes.
Will treatment be painful?
Chiropractic adjustments are generally gentle and well-tolerated. Dr. Greenberg uses techniques appropriate to each patient's condition. Some mild soreness after the first few sessions is normal as the body adjusts to realignment.
