What Causes Headaches?

For most people, headaches are usually caused by irritation in the muscles or joints of the head and neck.

With the increase in the use of technology, more people are experiencing postural issues. Improper ergonomics at the workstation, more hours sitting at the computer, nesting your phone between your ear and shoulder all contribute to the stress buildup in your neck.

Chiropractic care helps decrease irritation with adjustments, soft tissue work to relieve muscle tension, or cervical traction. Exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles in the neck may also be beneficial.
