Migraine Relief in Santa Cruz
Migraines can take over your world, preventing you from living life to the fullest. The pulsing head pain, the light and sound sensitivity, the nausea that won’t quit—it’s not just in your head. It’s in your nervous system. And when that system is overloaded or misaligned, it can feel like your body is stuck in a loop, sounding the alarm over and over again.
If you’ve been told your only option is medication or learning to live with it, you’re not alone. But here’s the good news: there is another way.
A New Way to Think About Migraines
At Network Chiropractic Wellness Center, we see migraines not as the problem, but as a signal. Often, they reflect deeper patterns of stress—physical, emotional, chemical—that are stored and unresolved. These patterns can interfere with how your brain and body connect, leading to symptoms that feel like they’re running the show.
Our care is designed to support your system in unwinding stress patterns so they don’t need to scream for your attention.
What’s Behind Migraine Patterns?
Many practice members find relief when we begin working with:
- Spinal tension or misalignments, especially near the top of the neck
- Emotional stress or long-held trauma
- Hormonal shifts, sleep struggles, and overstimulation
- Postural habits or nervous system “overdrive”
The spine and brain are in constant conversation. When that dialogue becomes distorted, your system may express it as migraine pain, sensory overwhelm, or exhaustion.
Our Chiropractor’s Approach
Using NetworkSpinal® care, Santa Cruz chiropractor Dr. Bjorn Bostrom helps your body reconnect with its own healing rhythm. This technique is gentle, intuitive, and deeply attuned. You won’t be cracked or forced—just met exactly where you are, and supported in becoming more coherent, more whole.
Sometimes we also incorporate upper cervical work to help ease pressure at the base of the skull—an area often tied to migraine activity.
“When we give the nervous system space to breathe and move, the body often needs less pain to get our attention. That’s where real healing begins,” says Dr. Bjorn.
Get on the Healing Path
This is more than symptom relief. It’s about helping your nervous system find peace again.
Whether migraines have shaped your life for years or just recently started showing up, we welcome you into a space where healing is possible and where your body’s wisdom leads the way.
