Headache Relief
When Headaches Keep Interrupting Your Life
Headaches can wipe out a day. You push through work with a dull band of pressure around your head, cancel plans because you can feel one coming on, or reach for pain relievers more often than you’d like.
Many headaches are tied to the neck and upper back. Tight muscles and stiff joints at the base of the skull can send pain up into the head, often called tension-type or cervicogenic headaches. Dr. Kamego checks how your neck and upper back move and focuses your care there with gentle adjustments, massage, and posture tips.
Migraines are more complex. Some people with migraines also have neck tension that chiropractic care may help with, and Dr. Kamego will be honest about what he can and can’t help with.

ProAdjuster Soft Tissue Protocols
Gentle Care for Tight Neck and Shoulder Muscles
Many headaches start with tension in the muscles of the neck, upper shoulders and base of the skull. Along with its spinal settings, the ProAdjuster has dedicated soft tissue protocols, so Dr. Kamego can use the same gentle, computer-guided tapping on those tight muscles when your exam shows it could help.
Results vary from person to person. Dr. Kamego will let you know what he recommends after your exam.
For many people, especially with tension-type headaches and headaches that start in the neck. Dr. Kamego looks at how your neck and upper back move and focuses care there. If your headaches need another kind of care, he’ll tell you.
Some people with migraines notice fewer or milder headaches with chiropractic care, especially when neck tension is involved, but results vary and migraines have many causes. Chiropractic care can be one part of a plan alongside your medical doctor.
