Migraine & Headache Care
Migraines Often Start in the Neck,
Not the Head
Tension and misalignment in the cervical spine, the vertebrae in your neck, can trigger or worsen headache patterns. When these joints and muscles are irritated, doctors call the resulting pain a cervicogenic headache, meaning a headache that starts in the neck rather than the head itself. We look closely at this area to understand what may be contributing to your migraines.
Recurring migraines can disrupt daily life in ways that go beyond the pain itself. Many patients miss work, cancel plans, or struggle with sensitivity to light and noise. Relying on medication alone can help manage symptoms in the moment, but it does not always address what may be causing the headaches to keep coming back.
Migraine & Headache Care
Spinal Adjustment and Bodywork Target Headache Frequency
Spinal adjustment works to realign the cervical spine and reduce nerve irritation linked to common headache triggers. Depending on your specific pattern, Dr. Hanh Tran may add chiropractic bodywork such as massage, dry needling, or physical therapy. Dr. Tran has spent 22 years treating headache and migraine patients in Hayward, and she builds each plan around what she finds during your evaluation.
Treatment is by appointment only. Every plan is built around your history and headache pattern, and results such as reduced frequency or severity vary by individual. Patients with migraines sometimes also present with sciatic symptoms, which we address at the same clinic through our
chiropractic care for sciatica pain.
