Common Causes of Headaches We Treat

• Whiplash and neck injuries from car accidents
• Overuse and strain from work-related injuries
• Chronic stress and poor posture
• Muscle tension or joint stiffness in the neck, shoulders, or upper back
• Myofascial trigger points (muscle knots) that refer pain to the head

How Chiropractic Care Helps Relieve Headaches

Headaches often originate from tension, stiffness, or dysfunction in the neck, upper back, or shoulder region. Our chiropractic approach targets the root causes of these issues to reduce headache frequency and intensity.

1. Chiropractic Adjustments

We perform gentle, targeted spinal adjustments to the neck, upper back, and shoulder areas to restore joint mobility and reduce nerve irritation. These adjustments can be done manually or using a gentle instrument-assisted technique, depending on your comfort and clinical needs.

2. Soft Tissue Therapy

Tight muscles can refer pain to the head and amplify headache symptoms. We use hands-on massage and advanced tools to release tension in the:

• Cranial muscles
• Neck and shoulder muscles
• Upper back musculature

We are trained in locating and eliminating myofascial trigger points (muscle knots) that can contribute to chronic headaches.

3. Muscle Therapy Tools

To further support healing, we offer a variety of evidence-based therapies:

• Electronic muscle stimulation (EMS)
• Cupping therapy
• Shockwave therapy
• Light therapy (photobiomodulation)
• Traction therapy
• Therapeutic exercises

These modalities help to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and relieve muscular tension that may be contributing to your headaches.
