Headaches

Many people believe that headaches are caused by loud noise, being tired, or being stressed. While these are all factors that can lead to headaches, the direct cause is tightness in the neck and shoulders. The tightness can cause misalignments in the vertebrae of your neck, resulting in pain. 80% of all headaches originate from the neck. With a typical cervicogenic (neck origin) headache, a person usually feels pain starting at the base of the skull which radiates into the temples, eyeballs, and forehead. Massage of the neck and shoulder muscles can release tension, and a chiropractic adjustment can realign the vertebrae in your neck.

Relieving Headaches With Chiropractic

Chiropractic can help eliminate the cause of your headaches rather than offering a temporary relief from the symptoms. If you are experiencing headaches and need help from a professional, contact Dr. Tran by email or call (510) 839-3393.
