Where your headaches really begin.
Headaches come in many forms, and it’s easy to treat them as something to simply push through with another pill. But a large share of recurring headaches don’t originate in the head at all, they start in the neck, where tight muscles, irritated joints, and poor posture refer pain up into the skull.
These are often called cervicogenic, or neck-related, headaches. Tension that builds from long hours at a screen, stress, or an old neck injury can trigger the pattern again and again. Other headaches tie in to sinus and allergy pressure or to the nervous system’s response to strain.
At Cavanaugh Chiropractic in Lafayette, we look for what’s actually setting your headaches off rather than masking them. When the source is in the neck and upper spine, addressing it directly is often what finally breaks the cycle.
