Headache Conditions We Treat
Chiropractic care that targets the neck-related root causes behind cervicogenic headaches, tension headaches, and neck-related migraines.
Cervicogenic Headaches
Cervicogenic headaches originate from dysfunction in the neck, typically joint irritation, muscle tension, or restricted mobility in the cervical spine, even though the pain itself is felt in the head. They frequently worsen with certain neck positions, prolonged sitting, or looking down at a screen, and often come with neck stiffness alongside the headache itself. Because the true source is in the neck, treatments aimed only at the head rarely bring lasting relief. Chiropractic care targets the underlying neck dysfunction directly through gentle adjustments and soft tissue work, addressing the joint and muscle issues actually driving the headache rather than just the pain that results from them.
Tension Headaches
Tension headaches are among the most common headache types, typically caused by muscle tightness in the neck, shoulders, and scalp that builds up from stress, poor posture, or long hours at a desk. They usually feel like a dull, band-like pressure wrapped around the head rather than the throbbing pain of a migraine, and can range from mild to genuinely disruptive. Because muscle tension is often the driving factor, chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue work help ease the tightness in the neck and shoulders that frequently triggers these headaches. Many patients also benefit from posture-focused guidance to help reduce how often tension headaches show up in the first place.
