Migraines and Headaches

Natural, holistic relief from migraines and headaches at Impact Health & Wellness.

Migraines are headaches characterized by their recurrence and mild to severe symptoms. Most often, migraines affect what feels like half of a person’s head, and can range from minutes to days in length. The most commonly associated symptoms are nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light, sound, or smell. The pain is generally made worse by physical activity.

Headaches are one of the most common pain conditions – causing pain in the head, face, upper neck, and shoulders. Some headaches are mild and short-lived while others are severe and debilitating.

Headache pain is caused by specific signals interacting with your brain, blood vessels, and nerves. These chemical interactions result in nerves sending pain signals to your brain.

The Two Types of Headaches

There are a wide variety of headaches, but most fall into one of two broad categories: primary headaches and secondary headaches. Primary headaches are caused by dysfunction or overactivity of pain-sensitive structures in your head, not by an underlying, or secondary, disease. Stress and disrupted sleep patterns are often triggers for primary headaches. A migraine is an extremely painful type of primary headache.

Migraines can cause you to feel intense, throbbing, and often debilitating headache pain. Often felt on one side of your head, migraines can last anywhere from a few hours to several days.

Secondary headaches are a symptom of an underlying disease or condition that is activating pain-sensitive nerves in your head. Secondary headaches vary in severity and can be caused by an incredibly diverse and wide range of diseases.

I have had neuropathy problems for the last two years. My primary physician referred me to Impact Health and Wellness. The Impact Crew started me on Laser Treatments. They have helped with my sleep and skin discoloration. They recommended compression socks and new shoe inserts. The crew at Impact have helped me immensely. Thank you Impact Health and Wellness.

I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Wilcox, Gerald and Caroline! I had a total knee replacement on 6/3 and am already getting around like a champ. Kind, professional and responsive! 10 stars!

This place is so amazing!!! Nick really knows what he is doing. His memory is crazy, he remembers details about every patient like a super computer. I came in with knee and back pain and he was able to identify exactly what was wrong, and things I had no idea about like having and extra long spine and and extra rib bones. We have a plan on how to fix this, and I already feel so much better after a few sessions. Can’t recommend enough!

Excellent staff, Excellent care!!! I have been seeing chiropractors for many years on and off, Dr. Nick is by far one of the best I have ever been too. After a few visits and getting to know the staff it's like a family atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Dr. Nick Southworth has provided exceptional medical care in addressing back issues including radicular pain, helping to increase range of motion and reduction of discomfort that affected quality of sleep. He is highly communicative and always upbeat in encouraging lifestyle changes to support the adjustment techniques he uses effectively to reduce pain. I recommend him unequivocally and also compliment Kim who is a blessing every time I enter the office. Efficient, personable and clearly cares about each patient!

I’ve been going to chiropractors on and off for years, so I understand how adjustments work. I felt the office was very nice, well organized and clean. Had top of the line equipment and treatment options. Everyone I came into contact with was friendly and helpful. Dr. Nick was very knowledgeable, efficient and truly cared about how I was feeling and how he could help. I noticed his interactions were the same across every patient he made contact with was treated the same. Very busy office, but well run practice and I never felt rushed or like a number. Based upon my visit and experience, I will be returning for more treatments and would recommend to family and friends! So glad I found this practice!
