5 Simple Exercises to Relieve Headaches & Migraines

If you are ready to stop relying on medication and finally want to get to the source of your headaches & migraines, watch this video, fill out the form and take action today

If you’re here, chances are you’ve tried everything

yet nothing has worked the way you hoped.

You’ve seen your doctor. You’ve tried medications. Maybe even chiropractic, massage, acupuncture, or Botox. And while some of it may have provided temporary relief, the headaches always come back, leaving you stuck in the same frustrating cycle.

Does this sound familiar? 

✅ You wake up every morning wondering if today will be a headache day.
✅ You’ve spent thousands of dollars on treatments, only to feel like no one truly understands what’s causing your pain.
You feel trapped—canceling plans, missing work, and struggling to be fully present for your family.
✅ You’ve been told, “There’s nothing else we can do—just take this medication.”

But what if there was another way?

A way that doesn’t just manage symptoms, but actually solves the problem at its source.

At Novera Headache Center, we believe in a new era of healthcare—one that moves beyond temporary fixes and actually finds the root cause of your pain.

Before Novera opened about 6 years ago, we noticed a gap in our healthcare system. So many people were suffering from debilitating headaches and migraines and only provided with symptom management.

What we found was an overlooked source of head and facial pain that was not being caught by our traditional evaluation methods of X-ray, MRI, CT in the MD office or even a chiropractic assessment focused on aligment.

The result: temporary relief, frustration and ongoing debilitating pain leaving you stuck taking medications.

What fueled the start of Novera and fuels us to this day is that our solutions based assessment and treatment has provided real, lasting results to thousands of patients just like you. We have so many life-changing stories we just want to

Shout if from the rooftops!

Now maybe talking about root cause sounds nice, but you have given up on actually finding a solution. Don’t worry, most people we talk to are in this camp. We get it. When you have tried everything it can be hard to have any hope left.

What do we mean by root cause?  

Well, by reading this you must have some insight into your neck, jaw or shoulders playing into your headaches or migraines. About 70% of the people we start with fall into this category.

If that’s not you don’t worry. The 30% that don’t realize the connection can still find the relief their searching for.

Most headache and migraine sufferers never hear about the real problem even though we hear story after story of people searching for a provider that will validate that they feel their neck could be at the source of their symptoms.

Here is what our healthcare system currently offers:

🔹 Medication focused on managing symptoms (We have better results than even the latest and greatest CGRP meds)
🔹 Those quarterly injections in the neck and face that start with a “B” and might feel like a “B”. We use this toxin to shut off those angry neck muscles (maybe we should ask why we have angry neck muscles in the first place??).
🔹 Chiropractic or massage that is fairly accessible but only provides temporary relief. (We like this better than the medication route, but still falls short to solving the problem).

“Treating the neck sounds too simple, why would I have seen all these providers and no one make the connection?”

That’s a great question that deserves a longer answer, but the short of it is that 90% or more of people that suffer from headaches or migraines are actually dealing with a neck issue that refers pain into the head.

The key: the pain is in your head not your neck. Providers are sent on a wild goose chase because the brain is confused at where the source of the problem is.

Now that you have a glimpse into the problem.

Here is how these 5 exercises are going to help you start solving the problem. 

🔹 Use them to help evaluate your neck, jaw and shoulder tension. Understanding this connection and starting to address these areas may start providing some relief.
🔹 Our bodies want to move, implementing even simple but specific movements to these areas can put up a little defense to the build up of tension throughout the day.
🔹 A stepping stone to finding greater relief. Not everyone will see improvements with these exercises (that’s ok, don’t panic). Headaches and migraines are complicated and nearly everyone reading this will require a specialist to come alongside them and assist in their journey. Implementing these exercises show us that your are willing to put in the work it takes to find lasting relief.

Back to the wanting to SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS: Most of our patients see 50% relief in just three weeks and up to 90% relief within two months.

Here is one example of a patient finding more relief than she had with any other treatment in just 4 visits or two weeks time:

Before coming to Novera, Amanda Gerber had been dealing with crippling migraines for over a decade. She had tried everything—specialists, prescription medications, chiropractic care, even diet changes.

Nothing provided lasting relief.

She was skeptical when she first heard about Novera. Could this place really help when everything else had failed?

But after years of frustration, she was willing to give it a try.

Within 4 visits, Amanda started noticing a difference. Her headaches became less frequent. She felt lighter, like a weight had been lifted off her neck and shoulders.

By the end of her treatment plan, she was finally able to live without the constant fear of her next migraine.

Amanda’s story isn’t unique—it’s what we see every day.

And if she found relief, so can you.
