HEADACHES
Chiropractic Care for Headaches
Headaches can have many causes, but some people notice patterns tied to neck tension, posture, stress, long desk hours, or recurring stiffness through the upper back and shoulders. The goal is to understand the pattern first and then decide whether chiropractic care belongs in the plan.

How Evaluation And Care Are Approached
Evaluation may look at headache pattern, neck mobility, posture, and whether upper-body tension seems to be part of the picture. The goal is not to assume every headache is mechanical, but to determine whether movement and musculoskeletal findings are relevant.
What A First Visit Looks Like
A first visit includes history, exam findings, and recommendations before care begins. If treatment is appropriate, it may include gentle hands-on care and guidance around posture, tension management, and movement between visits.
