Understanding Headaches

Not all headaches are the same. They can range from occasional tension headaches to frequent migraines that disrupt daily life. Many people don’t realize that spinal misalignments, especially in the neck, can create nerve pressure, muscle tension, and poor blood flow, all of which contribute to headaches.

Common symptoms include:

  • Dull, aching pain at the base of the skull or behind the eyes
  • Tightness or pressure around the forehead or temples
  • Sensitivity to light or sound
  • Neck stiffness and reduced mobility
  • Headaches triggered by stress, screen time, or posture

By addressing the structural cause of headaches, chiropractic care helps reduce frequency and intensity without relying on medications for short-term relief.

Causes of Headaches

Headaches can have multiple triggers, including:

  • Poor Posture: Forward head posture and rounded shoulders strain the neck and upper spine.
  • Spinal Misalignments: Vertebral subluxations place pressure on nerves that can trigger headaches.
  • Muscle Tension: Chronic tightness in the neck and shoulders from stress or repetitive strain.
  • Injury or Trauma: Whiplash or sports injuries that disrupt spinal alignment.
  • Lifestyle Factors: Stress, dehydration, eye strain, or poor ergonomics.

At Burien Wellness, we evaluate posture, spinal alignment, and lifestyle factors to create a comprehensive care plan tailored to your needs.
