Headache Relief in Las Cruces

Living with constant headaches or migraines can make everyday things—working, driving, even time with family—feel impossible. Dr. Jonathan Smith understands how frustrating it is to be told “everything looks fine” while your head is pounding. At Smith Wellness, care starts with one key question: where is your pain really coming from? By identifying the source, he can build a plan aimed at longer-lasting relief, not a short-term bandage.

Care That Starts With The Root Cause

Dr. Smith helps with several headache patterns, including tension, cervicogenic (“neck”), migraines, concussion/MTBI-related, and sinus. Your visit begins with a focused exam of the areas that commonly drive headaches: neck motion, muscles, nerves, and eye movements. These findings help pinpoint which tissues are under strain and what needs attention first.

Relief Using a Targeted Headache Protocol

Since 2007, Dr. Smith has used a specific electrical stimulation headache protocol based on Russian stimulation, a form of electrical muscle stimulation he uses to relax tight muscles and ease painful spasms. When a headache is musculoskeletal, this protocol often calms symptoms by around 80-85%.

Hands-on Care and Chiropractic Adjustments

After the muscles settle, Dr. Smith performs chiropractic adjustments guided by how your nervous system is functioning, not just by where you feel pain. Eye movements may help determine which spinal segments need support.

Depending on your needs, care may also include stretching, acupressure, dry needling, Active Release®, manual massage, and Graston®.

Migraine, Concussion/MTBI, and Sinus Support

For migraines, Dr. Smith may combine the headache protocol with TMJ and facial work. In stubborn cases, he may recommend gammaCore™, a handheld vagus nerve stimulator for at-home use.
