I Get Headaches Often: Do You Have a Treatment That Can Help?

Headaches are among the most common neurological symptoms, and women are more likely to develop headaches than men. While occasional headaches aren’t a cause for concern, recurrent headaches often point to underlying musculoskeletal, vascular, or neurological problems that benefit from professional care. 

Without timely evaluation, recurrent headaches can progress, becoming more frequent, more severe, and harder to manage. Health Advantage Physical Medicine provides comprehensive, patient-centered care for individuals and families across Los Angeles County. 

Our approach combines physical medicine, chiropractic care, and integrative family medicine to accurately diagnose and treat a full range of conditions, including chronic headaches.

Common causes of frequent headaches

Headache disorders are complex and affect each person differently. Chronic headaches tend to develop from a combination of factors. Cervical spine dysfunction is a common issue, and this refers to misalignments in the neck that can compress nerves or restrict blood flow, resulting in tension-type or migraine headaches.

Postural strain also plays a role, particularly among individuals who spend extended time sitting at desks or using digital devices. Referred to as “tech neck,” the muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back tends to build over time, leading to persistent discomfort and headache symptoms. 

Emotional stress and anxiety can worsen physical tension and trigger headache episodes. Additionally, prior injuries such as whiplash, concussions, or repetitive strain can create long-term structural issues that contribute to chronic head pain. Identifying these root causes is crucial for effective and lasting treatment.

Treatment options available

Care at Health Advantage Physical Medicine begins with a thorough diagnostic evaluation, including a detailed medical history, physical examination, and onsite imaging when indicated. Our team develops a personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient's needs and symptoms.

Chiropractic adjustments are often used to correct spinal misalignments and relieve nerve pressure. Physical therapy techniques help strengthen supportive muscles, improve flexibility, and correct postural abnormalities contributing to headaches.

Trigger point therapy and soft tissue mobilization can address muscle tightness and improve circulation in affected areas. Lifestyle counseling, including ergonomic education, helps patients avoid behaviors that may aggravate symptoms, while nutritional guidance addresses deficiencies that could contribute to systemic inflammation and headache persistence.

Our goal is to resolve the underlying causes of chronic headaches while promoting long-term wellness through conservative, noninvasive therapies.
