Cervicogenic headaches — caused by joint restriction and muscle tension in the cervical spine — start at the base of the skull and radiate over the top of the head. They are among the most common and most undertreated headache types, and they respond directly to chiropractic adjustments. Dr. Robert Townsend, DC has treated headache and migraine patients in Oakland's Glenview neighborhood for 17 years.
Upper cervical adjustments reduce the mechanical input triggering many headaches. Many patients who have relied on daily ibuprofen find that regular adjustments reduce both frequency and severity without medication.
