Migraine Chiropractor in San Antonio, TX

Yes — for many patients, chiropractic care reduces migraine frequency by 50% or more, especially when migraines are linked to upper-cervical (neck) dysfunction, cranial restrictions, or postural issues. Multiple peer-reviewed studies support this. Pura Vida Chiropractic uses Advanced SOT cranial techniques specifically designed for migraine sufferers — a more targeted approach than typical spinal adjustments.

A migraine-focused chiropractor uses cranial techniques (like SOT), upper-cervical analysis (C1-C2 specifically), and trigger-pattern review — not just generic spinal manipulation. Dr. Foss holds the rare Advanced SOT certification from SORSI, which trains chiropractors specifically in cranial assessment relevant to migraine, vertigo, and TMJ patients.

Most migraine patients notice reduced migraine intensity or frequency within 3-6 visits. Severity, duration, and chronicity of your migraines determine the total length of care. Dr. Foss will give you a clear, honest treatment plan and timeline at your free initial evaluation — no high-pressure long-term contracts.
