Conditions We Treat
Headache Treatment in Boulder, CO
Headaches are a common health complaint — over nine out of ten people experience them at some point. Causes range from tension and sinus issues to eyestrain and certain foods. Over-the-counter pain medications provide temporary relief but don't address the root cause. A chiropractor is trained to identify and treat the underlying cause using safe, effective techniques — focusing on the whole body to provide long-term relief and prevent future headaches.

Our Approach
How We Treat It
Comprehensive Consultation & Exam
We start with a comprehensive consultation and exam of your lower back, neck, and head. Physical tests plus questions about severity, frequency, location, and duration help us determine which of the 150+ types of headaches you're suffering from — and the right course of care.
Specific Chiropractic Care
Many headaches are caused by cervical subluxation — spinal misalignments in the neck. These misalignments disrupt muscle balance and interrupt nerve flow, scrambling brain–body communication. Adjustments correct them, restoring proper nerve flow and muscle function.
Massage Therapy
Decreases headache severity by reducing muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, back, and face — and improves circulation to accelerate healing.
Custom Therapeutic Exercise Plan
Personalized exercises strengthen the neck and back muscles, relieving tension and improving range of motion.
Spinal Decompression
Relieves pressure on the nervous system by restoring proper vertebral alignment — non-invasive, no downtime, and effective for acute and chronic headaches.
