Does This Sound Familiar?

  • Pounding, throbbing pain behind your eyes or temples that wrecks your day?
  • Migraines that show up multiple times a week — and take hours or days to shake?
  • Meds that used to work but now barely take the edge off?
  • Sensitivity to light, sound, or smells that makes normal life impossible during an episode?
  • Neck tension or stiffness that seems to trigger every headache?
  • Missing work, workouts, or time with your kids because of another one?
  • Told it's "just stress" or "just hormones" — but you know something's really wrong?
  • Tried PT, injections, painkillers, or a neurologist with no lasting relief?

You're not alone — and you don't have to just "live with it."

The Springfield Wellness Approach

How Upper Cervical Chiropractic Addresses the Root Cause of Migraines

Most migraine care just masks the symptoms. Here's how corrective upper cervical chiropractic finds and fixes what's actually driving the pain.

It Starts at the Top of Your Spine

The top two vertebrae (C1 & C2) sit right at the brainstem. When they shift even a fraction of a degree, they can irritate the nerves that regulate blood flow, muscle tension, and pain signals in your head.

We Measure — We Don't Guess

Precise Digital X-rays when clinically necessary. You see exactly what's out of place, why it's causing your migraines, and what a correction looks like.

Gentle, Precise Corrections

Gentle, precise adjusting matched to your comfort level — including low-force instrument options. Just precise, low-force adjustments designed for the upper cervical spine.

Pre & Post X-Rays Prove the Work

We re-measure to confirm the correction actually held. You don't have to take our word for it — the imaging shows the change.

"I had daily migraines for years. I'd tried medications, PT, and even a neurologist — nothing worked. After a few weeks with my doctor I'm going full weeks without one. I actually feel like myself again."
Tricia T.
"My doctor found things on my X-rays that no one else had ever mentioned. He explained everything in plain English and my headaches are dramatically better. I recommend him to everyone."
Grace R.
"I came in with chronic tension headaches and constant neck pain. The upper cervical work is gentle — no cracking — and it worked. First time in years I'm not reaching for ibuprofen every day."
Carrie M.
"Warm, professional, and straight to the point. I knew exactly what my plan was, what it would cost, and how long it would take. My migraines are down to almost nothing."
Ruth C.
"The most thorough exam I've ever had. My doctor actually took the time to figure out why my head hurt instead of just adjusting me and sending me on my way."
Lydia J.

Dr. Nick Silveri

Chiropractor

Ever since I was little I wanted to be a doctor of some sort. All through college I had my sights set on being a dentist. I was applying to dental schools when I decided that I didn't want to be working in people's mouths all day long and I wanted to do something that dealt with the entire person. After some research I decided that being a chiropractor would allow me that opportunity.

Dr. Rob Calcaterra

Chiropractor

When I was younger I knew that I wanted to go into healthcare, but I was not sure what area to go into. I started with training as an EMT, but realized it was not right for me. Around that time my uncle suffered a ruptured disc in his low back that left him in agonizing pain. He started seeing a chiropractor and had incredible results. After seeing that, I researched the profession and knew it would be a great career to go into.

Dr. Pat Macauley

Chiropractor

Growing up in St. Louis, I was heavily involved in basketball, baseball and soccer — it was my life. That love for sports ended up shaping the work I do today. I studied Exercise Science at Bellarmine University with plans for physical therapy school, then discovered chiropractic on a tour of Logan College of Chiropractic and never looked back.

Dr. Cecily Kampwerth — Chiropractor at Springfield Wellness Center

Dr. Cecily Kampwerth

Chiropractor

From early on, I was drawn to healthcare because I loved the idea of helping people feel and function better. I was always fascinated by how the body works and how much a person's quality of life can improve with the right support. When I learned how chiropractic focuses on restoring the body's natural ability to heal and perform, I knew I had found the path that aligned with my purpose.
