— Conditions We Treat
—— UNDERSTANDING THE CONDITION
Cervicogenic headaches originate from structural dysfunction in the upper cervical spine — misalignments at C1, C2, or C3 that irritate the suboccipital nerves and refer pain into the head. These headaches often begin at the base of the skull and radiate forward. Tension headaches are typically caused by sustained muscle tension in the neck and upper back — often driven by cervical misalignment and postural stress.
"Research increasingly shows that cervical dysfunction and nervous system irritation can be a significant trigger for migraine attacks — meaning structural correction can reduce both frequency and severity."
D.N.F.T.® is particularly effective in the upper cervical region — C1-C3 — where precision matters most and where traditional manipulation can feel risky to patients. The Phoenix Thera-Lase has also helped many patients with recurring migraines.

—— OUR APPROACH
Our approach targets the structural and nervous system components that contribute to recurrent headaches:
01
The reactive leg check identifies upper cervical misalignments and nervous system interference contributing to headache patterns. The gentle correction — particularly effective in the C1-C3 region — can produce significant relief for cervicogenic and tension headache sufferers.
02
Reduces inflammation in the upper cervical soft tissue, relieves suboccipital muscle tension, and calms nerve irritation of the skull — addressing the tissue-level component of cervicogenic headaches. We offer a migraine and concussion protocol.
Targeted nutritional support including magnesium, adrenal support, and anti-inflammatory compounds that address the systemic triggers contributing to migraine susceptibility.
—— SPECIFIC TYPES WE TREAT
Yes — particularly when migraines have a cervicogenic component. Caribbean Chiropractor in Grapevine, TX uses D.N.F.T.® to identify and correct upper cervical dysfunction that can trigger migraine attacks. Many patients report reduced frequency and severity of migraines with consistent cervical care. We also offer a migraine protocol with the Phoenix Thera-Lase.
D.N.F.T.® uses the reactive leg check to identify the specific cervical levels contributing to headache patterns — often finding dysfunction at levels other approaches miss. The gentle, low-force correction is especially appropriate for the upper cervical spine where patients are often nervous about traditional manipulation. Dr. Humberto also will adjust the cranials on the first visit.
Yes. The Phoenix Thera-Lase technology allows us to treat the head and neck areas with the laser. This will remove inflammation and implement energy into the areas around your skull and neck that are causing the pain. We offer a concussion & migraine protocol.
Yes. Magnesium deficiency is one of the most well-documented contributors to migraine susceptibility. At Caribbean Chiropractor, supplement recommendations are based on your body's actual biofeedback through the reactive leg check — which may include magnesium, adrenal support, or anti-inflammatory compounds.
Yes. Hablamos Español. Dr. Humberto provides bilingual full comprehensive care in English and Spanish.
