Natural Relief for Frequent Headaches in Los Angeles
Struggling with persistent headaches that interfere with your daily life? At Okhowat Chiropractic, we provide non-invasive treatments to address the root cause of your headaches and offer long-lasting relief.
Understanding the Causes of Frequent Headaches
Headaches can result from a variety of underlying issues, many of which are related to misalignments in the spine or tension in the neck. Common causes include:
Spinal Misalignments
Poor spinal alignment, especially in the upper cervical spine, can interfere with nerve function and lead to tension headaches.
Posture Problems
Sitting at a desk or hunching over electronic devices for extended periods can cause neck strain, resulting in headaches.
Tension and Stress
Tense muscles in the neck and shoulders can contribute to tension headaches.
Injuries or Trauma
Previous neck injuries or whiplash can result in recurring headaches if left untreated.
Symptoms of Headaches That May Benefit from Chiropractic Care
Headaches come in different forms, each with its own set of symptoms. Chiropractic care can effectively treat several types, including:
Tension Headaches
Tightness or pressure around the forehead or back of the head.
Cervicogenic Headaches
Pain that originates in the neck but radiates to the head, often mistaken for migraines.
Cluster Headaches
Severe, one-sided headaches that occur in clusters over a period of time.
Migraine Headaches
Intense, throbbing pain often accompanied by nausea, light sensitivity, or visual disturbances.
