Many headaches start in the neck and shoulders.
Muscle tension, poor posture and joint dysfunction in the neck and shoulders are common contributors to headaches. Our care aims to release tight muscles, improve posture, restore movement in the cervical spine and correct the muscle imbalances that can keep headaches coming back.
This approach may help with tension headaches, migraines worsened by neck tension, cervicogenic headaches that originate in the neck, and chronic headaches that haven’t improved with medication alone. It can also complement medication and other care you’re already receiving.
Headache patterns we commonly see.
No two headaches are the same. Your symptoms, pain patterns and daily habits all shape your plan.
Tension Headaches
A band-like pressure or dull ache around the head, often tied to muscle tension.
Neck Stiffness
Headaches that come with a stiff neck or reduced ability to turn your head.
Cervicogenic Headaches
Headaches that originate from problems in the neck and may worsen with certain neck movements.
Migraines With Neck Tension
Migraines that seem to be triggered or worsened by tight neck and shoulder muscles.
Desk & Screen Headaches
Headaches that build during long stretches of computer work or poor posture.
Recurring Headaches
Chronic headaches that keep returning and haven’t improved with medication alone.
Drug-free care aimed at the source.
Your first visit includes an assessment of muscle tension and joint function in the neck and shoulders, posture and spinal alignment, neck mobility and strength, and the lifestyle and ergonomic factors that may be contributing.
Your plan may include chiropractic adjustments, hands-on soft tissue work to ease muscle tightness, exercises to strengthen the neck and shoulders, postural correction, and guidance on ergonomics and stress management to help prevent future headaches.
