Migraine and Chronic Headache Treatment in West Bend WI: Headaches are defined as pain anywhere in the region of the head or neck. It occurs as migraines, tension-type headaches or cluster headaches, which are all considered headaches but each have specific qualities in diagnosis. Headaches can cause long-term damage mentally and physically, and can easily affect day-to-day life. About half of adults experience headaches at least every year, with tension headaches being the most prevalent.
Headaches Can Cause Debilitating Symptoms
Headaches are something that many people deal with, but it is not a necessary part of life. As tension increases, headaches can get worse and become chronic. Headaches commonly occur when spinal bones in the neck do not support the head properly. This will reduce your ability to turn your head and affect nerves, muscles and even the blood supply to your head.
A subluxation is when one or more of the spinal bones are misaligned into an abnormal position. This causes irritation to the nerve structure and interference in the flow of nerve energy throughout the body. Subluxations can often be the result of stress and bad posture, which is why many people who work at a desk suffer from them.
This also traction to or irritation of the meninges and blood vessels, which give the symptoms of a headache. Blood vessel spasms, dilated blood vessels, inflammation or infection of meninges and muscular tension can also stimulate nociceptors and cause pain. These can be caused by primary issues going on in the body or secondary, such as an ailment like a tumor. Some headaches are difficult to find the primary cause of them, but most of them tie into problems involving the nerves.
Symptoms of Headaches are:
- Dull aching pain in head and muscle aches
- Pressure or pain in the front, top or sides of the head
- Chronic fatigue
- Irritability and disturbed concentration
- Sensitivity to light or noise
- Dizziness
- and more…

I had been experiencing chronic back pain for over 5 years! It hurt to sit down, it hurt to bend over, it hurt practically all the time… I thought it was something I was going to have to live with the rest of my life. Thankfully I was referred to Gardner Schofield Chiropractic. After only a few visits my pain completely went away. Looking back at how much pain I was in, it is upsetting to think that I didn’t do something about it sooner. I highly recommend Gardner Schofield Chiropractic to anyone that is experiencing pain, whether it is acute or chronic. You’ll be glad you stopped in!!
I came in about 6 weeks ago with extreme lower back pain (which I had never had before) . Dr FJ was able to diagnose what was wrong and set up regular appointments. Since I have started going to this chiropractor, my neck and shoulders (which I have always had an issue with) have been much better, as well as having less anxiety overall. FJ always knows my name, and even recognized my family when they started going to him soon after (talk about personable!). On my first visit, the assistant taught me how to cure my chronic heart burn which also looked. Overall, I can say I am 100% satisfied with the service at Gardner Schofield and I would give them a billion star review if I could.
This has been a bad week for this mother of four. I came down with pneumonia, had to miss conducting my schools Christmas concerts because I was so sick and threw my neck out from coughing so hard. I called Gardner/Schofield in a desperate attempt to feel better. Not only did they fit me in on the 23rd, but Dr. Schofield came in special on Christmas Eve morning to do another adjustment. That was way above and beyond anything I would expect and I can even start to move my neck now. You have a new loyal customer! Thank you for putting the patient first. Your kindness made more of a difference than you will ever know.
Dr. Schofield definitely helped me with sciatica. It didn’t happen over night, but after a dozen or so treatments I finally was without pain. He is serious about his work, and I regard him as THE BEST. I would suggest you give him a try. His staff is great to work with also.
Great chiropractors and staff.Show genuine concern.My granddaughter gets adjustments there and feels very comfortable with Dr.Fj. If you have been to other chiropractors or doctors and still not satisfied ,try Gardner Schofield chiropractic, well worth it. I know I will certainly go there if I need adjustments. ..Give it a try..
My husband is a regular there at least twice a week. It helps to maintain a lower level of pain due to a chronic back issue he has been having for many years. I went all the time after i gave birth 3 years ago and Dr. FJ took care of the unbelievable back pain i had! He also adjusted our son after we noticed how much spit up he was having and constipation. It alleviated everything immediately! Dr. FJ and Korie are absolutely wonderful and really listen to our concerns! The staff up front are also so sweet and helpful it really feels like a family there!! I recommend them every chance i get!! Thank you all for your amazing work!!!
I got the referral from my dad due to having issues with TMJ. I had never been in to see a chiropractor but figured it couldn’t hurt any. After a few visits my jaw felt great! I absolutely love the staff here! My whole family comes here pretty regularly! They are very friendly, accommodating and overall it’s just a very comfortable atmosphere! Would highly recommend!
I have been very happy with the care I have received. I had severe arm pain, tingling, and numbness. I thought I may need surgery the pain was so great. However, Dr. FJ was able to reduce and then eliminate the pain quickly over the course of only a few weeks without the need for other, outside interventions. His chiropractic style is very gentle and subtle and was not intimidating to either myself or my young children, who also receive care from him.
I was diagnosed with MS in the spring of 2014. In the winter of 2014 I was experiencing a recurring back pain from when I was in high school. I started going to see Dr. FJ in December of 2014 and I started experiencing instant relief of my back pain. I have not had any problems with my back pain since early January. I believe it is also having a positive effect on my MS symptoms in conjuction with the management medication I’m on. I would highly recommend seeing Gardner Schofield to help manage and reverse those pains you thought you would have to deal with for the rest of your life.
I was referred to Dr. FJ by my parents because of issues with headaches, high pressure, and difficulty sleeping. My wife and I were impressed with the upfront and understandable explanation of fee and payment options. The whole staff was friendly and very helpful. They make a person feel comfortable. After the first few visits, I was able to sleep much better, the headaches are less and the blood pressure has already begun to come down. I would definitely recommend Gardner Schofield Chiropractic.
I discovered Dr. Schofield completely by accident, by attending one of his monthly community outreach talks at UWWC. Wish I had heard of him sooner, as it would have saved me several frustrating years of trying to get neck pain and killer migraines under control. I have used other chiropractors in the past, but none had the expertise in cranio-cervical adjustment that my condition required. Dr. FJ has the combination of chiropractic and nutrition education that lets him clearly explain how chiropractic adjustments and select supplements can alleviate conditions that are not musculoskeletal in origin. On a lighter note – I really get a kick out of the rhinoceros theme at the clinic to tell people to “take charge of your health!”
This Chiro is the best…they both do a great job! The staff up front are very friendly and this office is very accommodating with scheduling, there is always room to get in. Highly recommend these guys to anyone!!
We highly recommend anyone with kids or any aches and pains to see Gardner Schofield Chiropractic. They are highly skilled and educated doctors that take the time to listen to any needs that you might have. They really take the time to explain a more natural approach to help with any problem you may have. We love it!!
I began to see Dr. Schofield in September of 2015 and will continue under his care for another month or so. I feel so much better in such a short amount of time. I can now sleep through the night without pain in my neck/back and I can go for several days without pain. Each person at the Gardner Schofield Chiropractic clinic is caring and concerned with the patient receiving the best care possible. The concern that I always hear from people wondering if they should see a chiropractor is will they pressure a patient into extended treatments that are not need; I never had that concern with any staff member. Dr. Schofield is extremely patient and listens well to any concern that I have. I would highly recommend Dr. Schofield and Gardner Schofield Chiropractic Clinic if you are in need of chiropractic care.
Passionate caregivers. Great location and hours. Very accommodating.
Great chiropractic care and great people! My entire family loves the care we receive and the whole experience is always wonderful. I highly recommend Dr. FJ and Dr. Korie for anyone looking for chiropractic care!
