Understanding Migraines for Reno patients
Migraines are different from tension headaches — they're a neurological event with vascular and inflammatory components — but the muscular and postural triggers in the neck still play a meaningful role for many Reno patients. Treating the neck and upper-back component can reduce migraine frequency and intensity even when it can't eliminate them.
Our approach combines chiropractic care for the upper cervical spine, soft-tissue work, hydration and nutrient support (often via IV when severe), trigger identification (food, hormones, sleep, stress), and coordination with your primary care or neurology team for medication management.
We won't pretend chiropractic cures migraines. We will tell you that many migraine patients see a real reduction in frequency with consistent conservative care alongside their other treatments.
If migraines are running your life, a thoughtful multi-pronged plan is your best path forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
Migraines in Reno — your questions, answered
How is migraines treated in Reno, NV?
At Ascension Health, migraines care for Reno patients typically combines a thorough evaluation followed by a written plan — most often chiropractic, physical therapy, soft-tissue work, and (when warranted) targeted injections. We address the cause, not just the symptom, and we measure progress at clear checkpoints.
How long does it take to recover from migraines?
Most Reno patients see meaningful change in 4–6 weeks of consistent care, with full plans running 6–12 weeks depending on severity and chronicity. Acute cases recover faster; chronic patterns take more time but are still very treatable.
Will insurance cover migraines treatment in Nevada?
Most Nevada commercial insurance plans, Medicare, and auto/work-injury coverage include treatment for migraines. We verify your specific benefits before treatment starts so Reno patients know exactly what's covered.
Can I avoid surgery for migraines?
Many migraines cases respond well to a conservative-first approach — and the data supports trying conservative care before surgical intervention for most non-emergency presentations. We'll tell you honestly when surgery is the right next step and when it isn't.
