Have you ever suddenly seen flashing lights, zig-zag patterns, blind spots, or shimmering vision?

Maybe it lasts twenty or thirty minutes.

Then it disappears.

Sometimes a headache follows.

Sometimes it doesn't.

This is often called an ocular migraine or visual migraine.

And it can be incredibly scary when it happens.

Most people immediately assume it's an eye problem.

But what many don't realize is that vision is processed by a complex network involving the eyes, blood vessels, brainstem, and nervous system.

The brainstem acts as a communication hub between your brain and body.

When the upper neck becomes misaligned, it can create irritation in this area and disrupt normal neurological function.

Over time, that irritation may contribute to symptoms including headaches, dizziness, visual disturbances, brain fog, and migraine activity.

That's why Upper Cervical Chiropractors focus on evaluating the relationship between the head, neck, and nervous system.

Using precise imaging, we identify structural misalignments and make gentle corrections designed to restore normal function.

If you've experienced visual migraines and still don't know why they're happening, it may be time to investigate your upper neck.
