If you’re like many patients searching “headache specialist near me,” you’ve already been through the cycle:
5-minute doctor visits, fast prescriptions, weekly neck adjustments, maybe even CT scans—and still no lasting relief.
At The Neural Connection, we understand that headaches aren’t “one-size-fits-all.” Real relief starts by identifying the true source of your pain—not just the symptoms. That’s why we specialize in evaluating the full neuro-mechanical, autonomic, and lifestyle picture behind your headaches.
Feel like a tight band around your head? These often stem from stress, posture, or underlying neurologic tension.
Best treated with: Chiropractic care, massage therapy, autonomic regulation, and targeted stress relief techniques.
More than just pain—migraines are a full-body neurologic event. They can involve sensitivity to light, nausea, fatigue, and even dizziness.
Beyond medication, relief often comes from: Functional neurology, hormone balancing, nutrition, and nervous system retraining.
These start in the neck and radiate upward. Often misdiagnosed, they’re common after accidents or from poor posture.
Responsive to: Imaging review, postural rehab, upper cervical care, and physical therapy.
These are rooted in dysregulation of the body’s “fight or flight” system—often tied to dizziness, brain fog, or POTS symptoms.
Require care from: Autonomic specialists, functional neurologists, and integrative neurorehab providers like ours.
Most headache specialists treat the surface: the muscle, the medication, or the adjustment.
At The Neural Connection, we ask:
What’s triggering this pain loop neurologically?
How is your brain regulating blood flow, pressure, and sensory input?
What systems are underperforming—or overreacting?
This is where we begin. We combine diagnostic testing, nervous system rehab, and integrated care to get to the root.
“After years of bouncing between clinics, this was the first time I felt truly seen—and finally got relief.”

Still have questions about your symptoms?
Here’s more expert insight from our doctors:
Q: What types of headaches do you treat?
We help with many kinds of headaches — including migraines, tension-type headaches, cluster headaches, chronic daily headaches, and headaches caused by nervous system, neck, or structural issues.
Q: What’s the difference between a “normal” headache and a migraine?
A headache often feels like a dull, throbbing or pressure-type pain in your head or face and may come and go.
A migraine is a more complex neurological condition: pain tends to be moderate to severe, often throbbing or pulsating, sometimes on one side of the head.
They often comes with additional symptoms like nausea, sensitivity to light, sound or smells, dizziness, or visual disturbances.
Q: Why might I need to see a headache specialist instead of just taking over-the-counter pain relievers?
Headache specialists have training to identify underlying causes — not just treat symptoms. Because there are many headache types and triggers (vascular, neurological, structural, lifestyle, hormonal, etc.), a specialist can evaluate more deeply and tailor a plan that addresses your unique situation rather than relying on temporary relief alone.
Q: What happens at my first visit?
On your first visit we’ll review your full medical history, discuss your headache patterns (frequency, intensity, triggers, lifestyle), and perform relevant neurological or structural evaluation.
This may include posture/neck assessment, nervous-system screening, or lifestyle and trigger analysis. From there we’ll build a personalized treatment plan.
Q: What kinds of treatments and therapies do you offer?
We take a holistic, root-cause approach. Depending on your needs, treatment may include functional neurology, upper-cervical/structural care, nutritional and lifestyle support, stress and trigger management, and ongoing neurological rehabilitation — especially when traditional care has not provided lasting relief. (This mirrors our broader approach to neurologic rehab and migraine relief.)
Q: Can headaches or migraines get better (or even go away) with proper treatment?
Yes — many patients see meaningful improvement. With an accurate diagnosis, personalized treatment, and consistent follow-through, headache frequency, severity, and overall impact on life can decrease. Although some conditions are chronic, proper care often leads to better control and fewer disruptions.
Q: What if I’ve tried many treatments before and nothing worked?
That’s often when a headache specialist makes the biggest difference. Because we look beyond standard care and address root causes — nervous system regulation, posture/structural issues, lifestyle triggers — even “medication-resistant” headaches sometimes respond when care is more comprehensive.
Q: When should I consider seeing a headache specialist rather than just managing at home?
You should consider seeing a specialist if:
Headaches are frequent, severe, or prevent you from working, sleeping or doing daily tasks.
Over-the-counter medications no longer relieve your pain or you find yourself using them too often.
You experience additional symptoms such as nausea, vision changes, dizziness, sensitivity to light or sound, or neurological symptoms.
Headache patterns change — frequency, intensity, or type shift over time.
Q: How does working with a specialist differ from see-a-GP or primary care for headaches?
A headache specialist has deeper training in neurological and structural causes of headaches — they’re equipped to distinguish between different headache types (migraine, tension, cluster, secondary headaches) and design a holistic, tailored treatment plan.
They may also coordinate care across neurology, nutritional, structural/physical therapy, and lifestyle fields — something a general practitioner may not have the bandwidth or tools to do thoroughly.
Q: How do I schedule a consultation and what should I bring to the first visit?
To get started, schedule a consult via the contact page or phone. It helps to bring a headache diary (dates, duration, triggers, symptoms), a list of past treatments and medications, and any relevant medical history (neck injuries, prior concussions, lifestyle patterns, stressors). This gives us a clearer picture and speeds up the diagnostic process.
