Headache Care
Headaches may be associated with neck tension, posture strain, restricted movement, stress, or other causes. Dr. Tuan Truong provides individualized chiropractic evaluations to determine whether conservative care may be appropriate.
Understanding Headaches
Some headache patterns may be influenced by tension in the neck and upper back, prolonged desk posture, restricted cervical movement, or muscle tightness. A careful history and examination help determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate.
Tightness or discomfort in the neck may occur with certain headache patterns.
Long periods at a desk, computer, or phone may contribute to neck and upper-back strain.
Headaches may return with stress, activity, poor sleep, or sustained positions.
Reduced or uncomfortable neck movement can accompany headache symptoms.
Our Approach
Dr. Truong begins by discussing your symptoms, reviewing your medical history, and performing an examination. If chiropractic care is appropriate, treatment recommendations are tailored to your individual needs and goals.
Because headaches can have many causes, identifying warning signs and the likely source of symptoms is an important part of determining the most appropriate next step.
