Migraine & Headaches

Migraines and headaches can disrupt every part of your daily life, making it difficult to work, sleep, enjoy time with your family, or pursue hobbies.

What causes migraines and headaches?

Headaches and migraines can develop for many different reasons, such as:

• Muscle tension in your neck, shoulders, and upper back
• Joint dysfunction
• Poor posture
• Stress
• Dehydration
• Hormonal changes
• Sleep disturbances
• Certain foods

Headaches may also be triggered by sinus congestion, particularly if you struggle with allergies or upper respiratory conditions. 

Migraines are a bit different. They’re more complex neurological conditions that may be rooted in:

• Genetics
• Environmental triggers
• Hormonal fluctuations
• Changes in your nervous system

Identifying the underlying cause is an important part of determining what treatment will work best for you.

What kinds of headaches are treated?

Dr. Noblitt evaluates a wide range of headache conditions, including:

• Tension headaches caused by stress or muscle tightness
• Cervicogenic headaches that originate from your neck
• Sinus-related headaches
• Cranial nerve disorders that contribute to facial pain and headache symptoms
• Recurrent or chronic headaches, especially if they interfere with your everyday activities

She’ll perform a comprehensive evaluation and map out a treatment plan to provide relief.

What kinds of migraines are treated?

Dr. Noblitt treats both typical and atypical migraines.

Typical migraines

These often involve moderate to severe throbbing pain, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and even visual disturbances (aura).

Atypical migraines

This type of pain may present differently, sometimes causing dizziness, facial numbness, vision changes, balance problems, or other neurological symptoms that can be difficult to recognize.

Every migraine is unique, which is why individualized evaluation and treatment are essential for getting your symptoms under control and reducing the frequency of attacks.

What can I expect from personalized care for migraines and headaches?

Dr. Noblitt has specialized training in osteopathy in the cranial field, giving her unique knowledge to address your particular needs. During your visit, Dr. Noblitt discusses your medical history, headache patterns, lifestyle, and potential triggers while she performs a comprehensive physical examination.

Your personalized treatment plan may include osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) to improve mobility, reduce muscle tension, enhance circulation, and support healthy nervous system function.
