Migraine is more than a headache for many people in Roswell: it can mean light sensitivity, nausea, and a lost afternoon. Our Smyrna office offers a neurological exam of the neck, eyes, and balance system for Roswell residents who want another angle on what may be driving their attacks.
Dr. James Wright holds a chiropractic degree and a diplomate in functional neurology through the American Chiropractic Neurology Board. He does not prescribe medicine.
Most of an evaluation here is hands-on and observational. We watch how your eyes follow a target, check balance and coordination, assess reflexes, and examine the neck, because headaches that start in the neck can be hard to tell apart from migraine without an exam. We then explain what we found in plain terms and what we think could help. Our migraine and headache care page covers the types of headache we see and when to get medical attention first.
The first consultation is complimentary and we are private-pay. If you already see a physician, we are glad to work alongside that care, not around it.
Mayo Clinic describes migraine as often involving throbbing pain, sensitivity to light and sound, and sometimes an aura before the headache begins. Stress, hormonal changes, poor sleep, and certain foods or drinks are common triggers. Within that picture, our services are:
A complimentary first consultation about your headache pattern, triggers, and what you have already tried
Review of your headache history, medicines, and any red-flag symptoms, with a suggestion to see your doctor when needed
Neck, jaw, and posture assessment for tension and cervicogenic contributors
Eye movement, balance, and autonomic testing when light sensitivity, dizziness, or other symptoms come with the headaches
Chiropractic care and myofascial release for the neck and shoulders when they fit
Exercises designed to challenge the visual, balance, and autonomic systems
Guidance on sleep, meals, hydration, and trigger tracking
Coordination with your doctor or headache specialist, with your permission
Between work, family, and the commute down GA-400, time is tight. We aim to make recommendations you can actually follow.
When the neck contributes to headaches, hands-on care may help. NCCIH reports low-to-moderate quality evidence that spinal manipulation may reduce cervicogenic headache frequency and intensity (NCCIH, January 2023).
We can document what we examine so you can bring something concrete to your next medical appointment.
Recovery after a bad attack matters too. We talk through pacing, hydration, and sleep habits that fit your life.
Roswell sits on the Chattahoochee in Fulton County, roughly 20 miles north of Atlanta, and the historic district around the town square, with Bulloch Hall and Barrington Hall, is the heart of the city. Getting to us means leaving the GA-400 corridor and crossing the river toward I-285 and Smyrna. Plan on a real drive, and if a migraine is active, ask someone else to take the wheel.
Alpharetta, Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Johns Creek, and Marietta are nearby places. If someone closer to home appeals, read about Sandy Springs, Atlanta, or Smyrna migraine care. A head injury can also cause lasting headaches, which is why some people read about concussion care in Roswell.

That is a fair question, and it is why the first consultation is complimentary. You can decide with real information. We can also tell you if a closer provider would suit you better.
Mayo Clinic lists hormonal changes, such as those around menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause, as common triggers. Talk with your physician about medical options.
Mayo Clinic cautions that taking pain medicine more than twice a week can lead to medication-overuse headache. Bring that to your doctor, and do not change medicine on your own.
No. A medical neurologist diagnoses and prescribes. Dr. Wright offers a complementary functional neurology exam and chiropractic care.
