Migraine Treatment in Greensboro — A Different Way Forward
Most people who come to Gate City Physio in Greensboro didn’t start with chronic migraines.
It built slowly.
A headache that lingered.
Jaw tension that never fully went away.
Light sensitivity, dizziness, or neck pain that started tagging along.
They tried stretching. Medication. Rest. Pushing through.
And eventually, planning life around headaches felt normal.
If that’s your story, you’re not broken — your nervous system has simply learned to stay on high alert.
At Gate City Physio — Headache & TMJ Care, we approach migraine differently because migraine is not just head pain. It’s a brain-body condition — and when you retrain how your system responds, real change becomes possible.
Why migraine keeps coming back
Chronic migraine isn’t caused by one muscle or one trigger. Over time, the nervous system becomes more sensitive, reacting strongly to things that shouldn’t cause pain — movement, stress, light, jaw use, or even rest.
That’s why many people experience migraines alongside:
Jaw or facial pain
Neck stiffness
Dizziness or balance issues
Sensitivity to light, screens, or sound
Treating only one piece often brings short-term relief — but not lasting change.
A different approach to migraine care in Greensboro
Our care is designed to help your nervous system calm down and regain control, not just survive the next flare.
Instead of chasing symptoms, we focus on helping your body feel safer and more resilient — so migraines lose their grip over time.
Patients often notice:
Fewer headache and migraine days
Less intense and shorter attacks
Improved tolerance to screens, light, and movement
Reduced jaw and neck tension
More confidence living life without constant fear of a flare
What working with Gate City Physio feels like
We start by listening — really listening — to your story. Then we look at how your neck, jaw, balance system, and nervous system interact.
Your plan may include:
Gentle, brain-informed movement that improves how your nervous system processes everyday activity
Progressive aerobic activity to strengthen your body’s natural pain-regulating systems
Targeted balance and sensory retraining if dizziness or motion sensitivity is part of your migraine pattern
Specialized hands-on care for the neck, jaw, and cranial system to reduce constant background tension
Clear education and home strategies so you understand your symptoms and know how to respond early
Everything is paced to your system — no pushing through, no flare-ups just to “prove progress.”
A familiar patient story
Many of our patients arrive feeling frustrated and guarded.
One patient came in after years of migraines paired with jaw tightness and growing sensitivity to light. By the third visit, they weren’t “cured” — but they noticed fewer bad days. By week six, attacks were shorter and easier to recover from. By the end of care, they had tools, confidence, and control they hadn’t felt in years.
That’s the goal: progress you can feel — and trust.
