UNDERSTANDING headaches and migraines
Your Headache and Migraine Assessment
At Optimal Spine and Body, we ask when your headaches started, how often they occur, how long they last, and how they affect your daily life. We also review any previous diagnosis, treatments you have tried, and symptoms that accompany your headaches.
Dr. Michael Weiner reviews your health history and assesses your neck movement, posture, and spinal function when relevant to your symptoms. He explains your findings and whether chiropractic care may be appropriate for accompanying neck problems.
Recommendations are individualized and may include coordination with your medical provider or referral for further evaluation.
Your first visits
What to Expect From Your Headache and Migraine Evaluation
Your first visits focus on understanding your symptoms, explaining your findings, and discussing your options. Dr. Michael Weiner considers how your discomfort affects daily activities and what you want to improve, so recommendations fit your needs and goals.
First Visit
Your first visit begins with a consultation about your headache pattern, accompanying symptoms, health history, and previous care. Dr. Weiner asks about headache frequency, duration, and impact on your daily life, along with any neck pain or stiffness. Your examination is tailored to your history and symptoms.
When relevant, we assess neck movement, posture, and spinal function using our Chiropractic BioPhysics® approach. Imaging is recommended only when clinically appropriate. Dr. Weiner explains your findings, whether chiropractic care is suitable, and whether medical evaluation or coordination with another provider is needed.
Second Visit
Dr. Michael Weiner reviews your examination findings and any imaging obtained, explains what they mean, and discusses your care options. You’ll have time to ask questions about each recommendation and how it relates to your symptoms and goals. We explain expected costs, available insurance benefits, and estimated out-of-pocket expenses so you can make an informed decision.
If chiropractic care is appropriate and you choose to proceed, treatment may begin. Recommendations address the neck movement or spinal findings identified during your examination and may include adjustments and targeted exercises. Any additional procedures or home equipment are explained before you begin. We also discuss how your care fits with any ongoing headache or migraine treatment from your medical provider.
Third Visit
Dr. Weiner reviews your initial response to care and discusses the next steps with you. Recommendations for visit frequency, home exercises, and reassessment are based on your findings, goals, and response—not a predetermined plan for every patient.
As care progresses, we review your headache frequency, intensity, duration, and impact on daily life, along with any accompanying neck symptoms and movement limitations. We adjust recommendations based on your response and discuss further medical evaluation or coordination with your healthcare provider when needed.
Your Treatment Plan
A Personalized Plan for Headaches and Migraines Care
