Headache Relief
Headaches are frustrating. Whether it’s a tension headache that feels like a band around your head, a migraine that makes you want to hide in a dark room, or a cervicogenic headache that starts in your neck, they all have one thing in common—they disrupt your life. You can’t focus at work. You can’t enjoy activities. Sometimes you can’t even think clearly.
Here’s what many people don’t realize: a lot of headaches start in your neck and upper back. When your spine is out of alignment in your neck, it can affect nerves that travel to your head. When your neck and shoulder muscles are tense, they can create tension headaches. Even migraines can be triggered or made worse by spinal misalignment. Chiropractic care for headaches focuses on identifying what’s causing them—often spinal misalignment or muscle tension—and addressing it. Through gentle adjustments, soft tissue work, and lifestyle guidance, Dr. Duren helps reduce both how often your headaches happen and how intense they are.

understanding your headaches
01
Dr. Duren starts by understanding your headaches. When do they occur? What do they feel like—throbbing, pressure, sharp? What might trigger them—stress, certain foods, screen time? This conversation helps her understand whether they’re related to spinal misalignment, muscle tension, or other factors.

Through examination and assessment, Dr. Duren works to understand what’s triggering your headaches. She’ll check your spine alignment in your neck and upper back, feel for muscle tension, and look for patterns. Is it spinal misalignment affecting nerve function? Muscle tension creating pressure? Nerve irritation from misalignment? Something else? Understanding what’s happening helps her create a treatment plan that supports your body’s natural healing.
