At In Town Chiropractic in Alameda, CA, we help patients from Oakland, Berkeley, San Leandro, San Lorenzo, Hayward, and surrounding Bay Area communities find lasting, drug-free relief from chronic headaches and migraines. Nearly 9 out of 10 Americans experience headaches at some point, and for many the pain becomes frequent, severe, and disabling.
The good news: research shows most headaches—up to 95%—aren’t caused by disease, but by correctable issues such as spinal misalignments, muscle tension, posture strain, and nerve irritation. Our job is to identify those root causes, correct the underlying imbalances, and help you reduce both the frequency and intensity of headaches—without relying on medication or invasive procedures.
Why Headaches Happen (and Why They Keep Coming Back)
- Neck and upper-back tension from computer work, driving, or device use
- Forward-head posture and rounded shoulders that stress the cervical spine
- Restricted spinal joints creating nerve irritation and referred pain
- Jaw/TMJ dysfunction amplifying neck tension and headaches
- Stress and poor sleep quality keeping muscles tight
- Repetitive strain such as workstation ergonomics or heavy bags
- Dehydration, missed meals, or screen glare
Types of Headaches We Treat
- Tension Headaches – Dull, pressure-like pain linked to stress, posture, and tight muscles
- Migraines – Severe, throbbing headaches with sensitivity to light, nausea, and dizziness
- Cervicogenic Headaches – Originating from the neck and posture-related
