Tension headaches that start at the base of your skull and creep up are one of the most common things I treat, and one of the most misunderstood. A lot of headache pain actually starts in the neck, not the head.
I test the neck and upper spine to find exactly what’s contributing, then make a gentle correction. No popping, no cracking, no aggressive neck twisting. Once the underlying restriction clears, a lot of people notice their headaches ease up along with it.
This isn’t a promise that every headache is neck-related, but it’s worth ruling out before assuming it’s something you just have to live with.
Fewer visits, no contracts. Book a visit if you’re in Salt Lake City, downtown, the Avenues, or nearby. Part of my broader neck pain care.
