Headaches and Migraines in West Omaha

Headache Relief That Addresses the Real Problem

When You’ve Tried Everything Else

Most of our headache patients have been everywhere—neurologists, pain management doctors, primary care physicians, and other chiropractors. They’ve tried medications that either don’t work or stop working over time.

If this sounds like your story, you’re not alone, and there is hope.

Dr. Tereshel Johnson founded the Omaha Headache Clinic in 2010 because she understands the frustration of chronic head pain. Unlike other providers who focus only on your neck, we examine your entire spine and posture. Many headaches actually start from problems in your middle back that create instability throughout your spine.

Why Other Treatments Fall Short

Here’s what often happens: other chiropractors identify problems like reverse cervical curves or poor posture, but they only provide temporary adjustments. While adjustments restore motion, they don’t restore proper spinal alignment. Physical therapy can actually make things worse by adding strength on top of dysfunction.

At Green Chiropractic, we use Chiropractic BioPhysics to actually remodel your spine’s structure. This means correcting the curves in your neck and reducing the mechanical stress that triggers your headaches. It’s the difference between temporary relief and long-term correction.

Our Whole-Body Approach to Head Pain

Your headaches might seem like a neck problem, but we look at everything. Problems in your low back can affect your middle back, which creates compensation patterns that stress your neck. Everything is connected through your nervous system and the fascia that wraps your entire spine.

We also understand that not every headache is a migraine. Many patients come in convinced they have migraines when they actually have tension headaches or cervicogenic headaches. Proper diagnosis matters because different types of headaches need different treatments.

What You Can Expect from Treatment

Our goal isn’t just to reduce your pain—it’s to identify what’s causing your headaches and help you get rid of them completely. We focus on decreasing both the intensity and frequency of your episodes. Even reducing your headaches by 50% can dramatically improve your quality of life.

We don’t dismiss the need for medication when you’re in severe pain. Sometimes you need relief while we’re working on the structural corrections. Our goal is to gradually reduce your dependence on medications as your spine heals and your headaches become less frequent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will chiropractic treatment cause a stroke?

This concern comes up often, but the risk is extremely small and no greater than visiting any medical doctor or physical therapist. Dr. Johnson’s medical background and gentle techniques prioritize your safety above all else.

How long before I see improvement?

Many patients notice some improvement within the first week of care. However, structural correction takes time. We’ll track your progress carefully and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

What if it’s the worst headache of my life?

If you’ve never had headaches before and suddenly develop severe head pain, go to the emergency room immediately. We want you safe, and sudden severe headaches need immediate medical evaluation.
