Chiropractor for Headaches in Los Angeles
Get to the Root of Recurring Tension Headaches
Seeing a chiropractor for headaches in Los Angeles makes sense when the pain starts in your neck. At Faye Chiropractic, we look at how your neck and upper back are moving, because restricted joints and tight muscles are frequent drivers of tension headaches.
Tension headaches often begin when the joints of the neck and upper back lose their normal mobility. Poor posture, prolonged sitting, repetitive activities, and stress can all contribute to joint dysfunction.
As the joints become restricted, the surrounding muscles tighten to protect and stabilize the area. Over time, this can lead to muscle tension, stiffness, and headaches.
Treatment focuses on restoring normal joint movement so the muscles can relax naturally. Care may include chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, postural correction, ergonomic recommendations, and exercises to improve mobility and help prevent recurrence. By addressing the underlying dysfunction—not just the muscle tightness—we help reduce headaches while improving function and helping prevent recurrence.
Does Your Headache Start in Your Neck?
Headaches begin at the base of your skull and spread toward your forehead
Pain builds after long hours at a computer, phone, or steering wheel
Your neck feels stiff or limited when you turn or tilt your head
Tight shoulders and upper back muscles seem to accompany almost every headache you get
Stressful weeks at work reliably bring more frequent or more intense headaches
Over-the-counter pain relievers help for a while, but the headaches keep returning
How Chiropractic Helps Headaches
Tension headaches often follow a predictable chain: stiff joints, guarding muscles, then pain. Chiropractic headache treatment interrupts that chain by restoring joint motion in your neck and upper back, allowing surrounding muscles to relax naturally.
Less muscle tightness in the shoulders, neck, and base of the skull
Postural and ergonomic changes that reduce strain during work and daily routines
Targeted exercises that improve mobility and help prevent headaches from returning as often
