Migraine Relief in Eden Prairie
If you’re dealing with migraines, you know they’re more than just a headache. The throbbing pain, light sensitivity, nausea, visual disturbances, and brain fog can completely derail your day. At Real Health Chiropractic Clinic, we offer light-touch neurologically focused chiropractic care to help reduce migraine frequency and intensity naturally.
What Is a Migraine?
A migraine is a neurological condition, not just muscle tension. While triggers vary, migraines often involve nervous system hypersensitivity and vascular changes in the brain. Common symptoms include throbbing or pulsing head pain (often one-sided), sensitivity to light and sound, nausea or vomiting, visual aura, neck tension or stiffness, and fatigue before or after an episode. Triggers may include stress, hormonal shifts, poor sleep, dehydration, food sensitivities, previous concussions, or prolonged screen time.
How Can Chiropractic Help Migraines?
The upper neck plays a significant role in migraine patterns. Misalignment, tension, or restricted movement in the cervical spine can irritate surrounding nerves and contribute to nervous system overload.
“Migraines often occur in people whose nervous systems are already on high alert. When we reduce stress on the spine and help the body shift out of fight-or-flight mode, many patients notice fewer and less intense episodes,” says Eden Prairie Chiropractor Dr. ShaRhae Matousek.
With over 25 years of experience, Dr. ShaRhae uses gentle, neurologically based chiropractic techniques without forceful twisting. Care is customized to reduce irritation, improve spinal motion, and support better nervous system regulation. Her background in craniosacral therapy also allows her to address subtle tension patterns in the head, jaw, and upper neck that may contribute to chronic migraines.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your evaluation includes a detailed health and migraine history, a review of triggers and lifestyle patterns, spinal and posture assessment, cervical mobility and tension evaluation, and a nervous system assessment. If needed, Dr. ShaRhae coordinates with your primary care provider to ensure appropriate co-management.
Care plans are always personalized. Some patients begin with more frequent visits to calm inflammation and stabilize the nervous system, then transition to supportive maintenance care. We monitor progress closely throughout.
A Whole-Body Approach
Because migraines are often influenced by stress, hormones, and inflammation, Dr. ShaRhae may recommend functional nutrition support to address dietary triggers, blood sugar balance, and gut health. We also support athletes and active adults whose migraines may be linked to sports injuries, concussions, or chronic neck strain. Our family-friendly practice is accessible, welcoming, and designed to minimize sensory stress, which matters for migraine-prone individuals.
