If migraines are interfering with your life, you already know that masking symptoms is not a long-term solution. You've been to the specialists, you've tried the medications, and you've woken up hoping today will be different and gone to sleep disappointed. The Pittsburgh Migraine Challenge was created for you.
Our signature program designed to uncover the overlooked structural and neurological factors contributing to chronic migraine headaches. Unlike standard approaches that focus on managing symptoms, the Challenge focuses on finding what's actually causing your pain, building a precise corrective plan, and helping you get your life back for good.
Family Chiropractic is the original home of the Pittsburgh Migraine Challenge, and Dr. Cotey Jordan knows what it's like to suffer from debilitating migraines firsthand. Since 2010, the Challenge has helped thousands of patients who had already been to multiple experts without success. As one of the highest-reviewed migraine specialists in the region, Dr. Cotey has built a program that goes where other approaches stop short.

Chronic migraine sufferers often spend years cycling through medications, neurologists, and specialists without finding a lasting answer. That's because most approaches focus on managing the symptoms of migraines rather than investigating the structural and neurological factors causing them.
Clinical experience and research point to two overlooked causes that contribute to chronic migraines: neurological deficiency and chemical imbalance. Both can have structural roots in the spine. When the spine is misaligned, it creates interference in the nervous system that can trigger migraine patterns that no medication will permanently resolve. This is the gap that treatment at Family Chiropractic is specifically designed to fill.

The Pittsburgh Migraine Challenge is designed for chronic migraine sufferers who have already tried other approaches without lasting success. If you've been seen by neurologists, tried multiple medications, or received other treatments without ever getting to the root cause, you may be an ideal candidate. The best first step is scheduling a consultation so our team can review your history and talk through your options honestly.
Most migraine treatments focus on managing symptoms through medications or other interventions. Migraine chiropractic treatment at Family Chiropractic takes a fundamentally different approach. We use digital full-spine X-rays, Nervoscope analysis, and Gonstead-specific adjustments to identify and correct the structural and neurological interference that may be driving your migraines. The goal is not to manage your pain from visit to visit. It's to correct the cause so the pain doesn't keep coming back.
