What's Going On
Understanding Headaches
Headaches are one of the most common pain conditions — and one of the most misunderstood. Most people reach for a pill, but that only masks the symptom. The real question is: what's causing the headache in the first place?
In many cases, the answer is in your neck. Spinal misalignments, muscle tension, poor posture, and stress can all trigger headaches that range from a dull ache to debilitating migraines. Chiropractic care addresses these root causes directly.
Frequent headaches are not normal — they're a signal.
Dr. Chitra Rajendran identifies what's triggering your headaches and develops a personalized plan to reduce their frequency, intensity, and duration — without medication.
Types We Treat
What Type of Headache Do You Have?
Not all headaches are the same — and knowing the type matters for effective treatment. Here are the most common types we see and treat.
Tension Headaches
The most common type — a constant, dull pressure around your forehead or the back of your head. Usually caused by muscle tightness in the neck and shoulders from stress, poor posture, or overwork.
Migraines
Intense, throbbing pain — often on one side — that can last hours or days. Frequently accompanied by nausea, light sensitivity, and visual disturbances. Spinal misalignments and nerve irritation are common triggers.
Cervicogenic Headaches
Pain that starts in the neck and radiates up to the head — often on one side. These headaches originate from problems in the cervical spine and respond exceptionally well to chiropractic adjustments.
Cluster Headaches
Severe, piercing pain around one eye that occurs in cycles or "clusters." While less common, chiropractic care can help reduce their frequency by addressing nerve function and spinal alignment.

Why Chiropractic?
Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Headaches
Research shows chiropractic care is one of the most effective treatments for recurring headaches — especially those originating from the neck and spine.
Fewer Headaches
Most patients experience a significant reduction in headache frequency — many go from weekly headaches to rarely getting them at all.
Less Intensity
When headaches do occur, they tend to be milder and shorter — allowing you to function through your day instead of retreating to a dark room.
Less Medication
By treating the cause rather than masking the pain, many patients are able to significantly reduce or eliminate their reliance on painkillers.
Long-Term Prevention
Regular chiropractic care keeps your spine aligned and your muscles relaxed — preventing headaches from coming back in the first place.
