Headaches can make it difficult to focus, work, or enjoy daily activities. For many people, headaches are linked to neck tension, posture , stress, or prolonged screen use. At CleanSpine, Dr. Tyler Bigenho takes the time to listen, understand, and help you understand your treatment without pressure.

Understanding the source of your discomfort is the first step toward lasting relief. At CleanSpine, we don’t just treat the symptoms; we address the underlying structural tension that triggers your pain. In the video below, you can see Dr. Tyler Bigenho performing a targeted cervical adjustment to release pressure in the suboccipital region and restore proper alignment. He uses several methods: soft tissue work, trigger point release, followed by a decompression technique. 

What Causes Headaches?

Headaches are not all the same. Common contributors include:

• Muscle tension in the neck and upper back
• Daily stress
• Joint restriction in the cervical spine

• Upper back and shoulder tension
• Poor posture or prolonged screen use
• Repetitive strain from daily activities

When the neck and upper spine are not moving well, surrounding muscles and nerves can become irritated, contributing to recurring headaches.

Common Types Of Headaches We See

Many patients come to us with headaches such as:

• Tension headaches
• Cervicogenic headaches (headaches originating from the neck)
• Posture-related headaches

• Stress-related headaches
• Headaches associated with neck stiffness or limited range of motion

A careful evaluation helps determine which factors may be contributing to your symptoms.

How Chiropractic care Can Help With Headaches

Chiropractic care for headaches focuses on improving movement and reducing strain in areas that commonly contribute to head and neck discomfort.

At CleanSpine, Dr. Tyler Bigenho tailors care based on your specific presentation. Depending on your needs, care may include:

• Gentle spinal adjustments
• Addressing neck and upper back mobility
• Decompression

• Low-force or drop-table techniques
• Soft-tissue work or trigger point
• Activator method

Care is never rushed or forced, and techniques are chosen with comfort and safety in mind.

Headaches And Neck Pain Often Go Hand In Hand

Many headaches are closely linked to what’s happening in the neck. Stiffness, poor posture, or restricted movement in the cervical spine can place added stress on muscles and joints that contribute to headache patterns.

Addressing neck function is often an important part of conservative headache care.
