Correlation?

I am finding out that a lot of my headaches/sick stomachs start out with neck pain...I try to move my neck to stop it from escalating, but it gets me every time...Can this be treated by a chiro??

Possibly. The chiropractic practice deals the spine and its nerves.

If your neck pain is more a muscle spasm related to nerve misfiring - then maybe chiro can help you.

If you neck pain is muscle spasm simply because that is how your migraine begins, then you might find more relief from massage.

Almost anything is worth trying.

I kept my migraines completely away for years with chiropractic adjustments. A massage therapist sometimes helps more, however.

My neurologist has explained that all of the nerves associated with equilibrium, migraines and such are located in the base of the neck. And that they are all very much related. My neck is always the first thing to hurt. I always have a feeling of "car sickness". Now I understand way.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
