Headache Relief That Addresses the Real Problem

When You’ve Tried Everything Else

Most of our headache patients have been everywhere—neurologists, pain management doctors, primary care physicians, and other chiropractors. They’ve tried medications that either don’t work or stop working over time.

If this sounds like your story, you’re not alone, and there is hope.

Dr. Tereshel Johnson founded the Omaha Headache Clinic in 2010 because she understands the frustration of chronic head pain. Unlike other providers who focus only on your neck, we examine your entire spine and posture. Many headaches actually start from problems in your middle back that create instability throughout your spine.

Why Other Treatments Fall Short

Here’s what often happens: other chiropractors identify problems like reverse cervical curves or poor posture, but they only provide temporary adjustments. While adjustments restore motion, they don’t restore proper spinal alignment. Physical therapy can actually make things worse by adding strength on top of dysfunction.

At Green Chiropractic, we use Chiropractic BioPhysics to actually remodel your spine’s structure. This means correcting the curves in your neck and reducing the mechanical stress that triggers your headaches. It’s the difference between temporary relief and long-term correction.

Our Whole-Body Approach to Head Pain

Your headaches might seem like a neck problem, but we look at everything. Problems in your low back can affect your middle back, which creates compensation patterns that stress your neck. Everything is connected through your nervous system and the fascia that wraps your entire spine.

We also understand that not every headache is a migraine. Many patients come in convinced they have migraines when they actually have tension headaches or cervicogenic headaches. Proper diagnosis matters because different types of headaches need different treatments.

What You Can Expect from Treatment

Our goal isn’t just to reduce your pain—it’s to identify what’s causing your headaches and help you get rid of them completely. We focus on decreasing both the intensity and frequency of your episodes. Even reducing your headaches by 50% can dramatically improve your quality of life.

We don’t dismiss the need for medication when you’re in severe pain. Sometimes you need relief while we’re working on the structural corrections. Our goal is to gradually reduce your dependence on medications as your spine heals and your headaches become less frequent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will chiropractic treatment cause a stroke?

This concern comes up often, but the risk is extremely small and no greater than visiting any medical doctor or physical therapist. Dr. Johnson’s medical background and gentle techniques prioritize your safety above all else.

How long before I see improvement?

Many patients notice some improvement within the first week of care. However, structural correction takes time. We’ll track your progress carefully and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

What if it’s the worst headache of my life?

If you’ve never had headaches before and suddenly develop severe head pain, go to the emergency room immediately. We want you safe, and sudden severe headaches need immediate medical evaluation.

Schedule Your Headache Evaluation

Stop letting chronic headaches control your life. Our comprehensive evaluation will identify the structural causes other providers have missed and create a plan to get you lasting relief.

I’ve had chronic migraines for 15 years. After seeing Dr Green for 6 months of treatment, I’ve been migraines free. Dr Green and his staff take the time to listen and educate their patients. This has been life changing for me and I will continue to see him and do the recommended exercises in order to stay migraine free.

I started seeing Dr. Johnson May of 2025. Prior to that, (April 2023-May 2025) I had tried multiple providers for relief of bilateral finger numbness, scapular pain, shoulder pain, limited neck movement and overall pain in my upper back region. Those providers included PT, orthopedic shoulder surgeon, orthopedic/neurological surgeon/ cervical neck and pain management with several types of injection’s! NOTHING was giving me relief!! UNTIL, I started treatment and traction with Dr. Johnson. I was reluctant to go to a chiropractor because as a RN I was taught in my schooling not to trust them. (40 years ago) I did some research and found that Green Chiropractic was specialized in the areas I needed help with. A friend had used their services for several years and gave me the additional confidence to give them a try. I no longer have numbness in my fingers and the consistent scapular pain is gone. I am able to sleep on my right side at night. I would encourage you to try Green Chiropractic! It has made a difference in my life.

Dr. Green and Dr. Johnson are truly amazing! They have helped my husband in the past and now currently and have made a huge difference. My husband was injured in the military and their dedication in helping him is remarkable. The detail and time that they put into your own personal care can’t be beat, they truly care about your health and getting you back on your feet. The office staff is great and very welcoming! Thank you!
