Condition
Headaches & Migraines
While some headaches are biochemical, many are cervicogenic (originating from the neck) or tension-based (originating from tight muscles). Long hours at a computer, poor sleeping postures, or previous neck injuries can strain the delicate joints and nerves at the base of your skull. This strain can mimic or even trigger full-blown migraines, creating a painful cycle of tension and nerve irritation.
Common Types We Treat
We provide specialized clinical care to help manage, reduce, and prevent various types of head pain:
- Tension Headaches: The most common type, often feeling like a tight band around your forehead, usually caused by stress and muscle tightness in the neck and shoulders.
- Cervicogenic Headaches: Pain that starts in the neck or back of the head and travels forward, directly linked to stiff spinal joints or nerve irritation in the upper cervical spine.
- Migraine Management: Working alongside medical treatments to reduce the frequency and severity of episodes by treating physical, muscle-related triggers.
- "Tech Neck" and Postural Headaches: Pain resulting from prolonged forward-head posture, which puts immense strain on the upper neck muscles.
- Whiplash-Associated Headaches: Chronic head pain following a sudden neck strain or impact injury.
