Neck pain and headaches often travel together. Long hours at a screen, an old whiplash injury or poor sleep posture can each play a part, and the first job is working out which.
When it is urgent. Call 911 for a sudden, severe headache unlike any you have had, or a headache with weakness, confusion, trouble speaking, vision loss, fever and a stiff neck, or after a head injury.
We look at posture, neck movement, muscle tension and your headache history, including what brings them on.
Neck and upper-back adjustments chosen for your comfort, including low-force methods if you prefer them.
Workstation and phone-posture changes, and exercises for the deep neck muscles.
Care is provided by Dr. Adam Tilson, D.C., and Dr. Michael Rager, D.C., chiropractic physicians. Results vary from person to person.

Some people find that care for the neck and upper back helps them manage headaches. We will tell you honestly after the exam whether we think it is worth trying, and when a medical referral makes more sense.
We screen every patient before care and explain the options. If an adjustment is not right for you, we use other methods or refer you on.
Book online at either office, or call or text and a real person will help you find a time.
