Headache & Migraine Relief
AO BUFFALO
Buffalo, NY
Migraines are NOT Normal
If you’re living with migraines, you’ve probably been told they’re “Something you just manage.”
They’re not.
If you’re searching for migraine headache relief in Buffalo, Grand Island, Amherst, or Southern Canada, chances are you’ve already tried preventive medications, rescue drugs, or even Botox injections for migraines. Some may have helped temporarily — but you’re still planning your life around the next attack.
At AO Buffalo, we take a different approach.
Instead of only suppressing symptoms, we evaluate the upper cervical spine — specifically the atlas (C1) — and how it may be affecting brainstem function and the nervous system’s ability to regulate pain.
Many of our migraine patients had:
-
Tried multiple medications
-
Received Botox injections
-
Seen neurologists
-
Been told their imaging was “normal”
-
Still struggled with recurring migraines
If that sounds like you, this may be the missing piece.
You don’t have to accept migraines as your normal — and you may not have to rely solely on medication to function.
Personalized Care for Recurring Migraines
Migraines are more than “just bad headaches.” They can involve:
-
Throbbing or pulsing pain
-
Light and sound sensitivity
-
Nausea
-
Visual disturbances (auras)
-
The need to lie down in a dark room
If you’re searching for migraine relief in Buffalo, you’re likely looking for more than temporary symptom control.
Many migraine sufferers in Buffalo and surrounding areas come to us after years of managing symptoms with medication alone. While medication can be helpful, it may not address underlying contributing factors such as neck tension, structural imbalance, or nerve irritation.
Our approach focuses on:
-
Careful evaluation
-
Identifying contributing factors
-
Gentle, individualized care
-
Long-term improvement strategies

Frequently Asked Questions About
Headache & Migraine Relief
What causes chronic headaches?
Chronic headaches can be caused by muscle tension, stress, posture issues, prior injuries, or underlying migraine patterns. In some cases, dysfunction in the upper neck may contribute to recurring symptoms.
Can neck problems cause migraines?
For some individuals, irritation or imbalance in the upper cervical spine may contribute to migraine frequency or intensity. An evaluation can help determine whether this may be a contributing factor in your case.
How often should I seek treatment for headaches?
If you experience headaches weekly, monthly, or frequently rely on medication to function, it may be time for a professional evaluation to explore underlying causes.
What is the difference between a headache and a migraine?
Headaches are often described as dull, pressure-like pain, while migraines typically involve throbbing pain and may include nausea, light sensitivity, or visual changes.
Do you treat patients from outside Buffalo?
Yes. We regularly see patients from Buffalo, Amherst, Williamsville, Clarence, Orchard Park, West Seneca, and other Western New York communities. We are also a close drive from Fort Erie, St. Catherines and Niagara on the Lake in Ontario, Canada.
Is this a drug-free approach?
Yes. Our care focuses on identifying structural and functional contributors to headaches and migraines rather than relying solely on medication for symptom control.
