Headaches & neck strain from stress

The holiday season may be over, but a lot of us are still dealing with the stress of having to cook, clean, entertain, and pack everything back up for next year. If this stress has left you with headaches or neck strain, you can find relief by visiting our Costa Mesa chiropractor here at So Cal Chiropractic.

Chiropractic Care for Headaches

It is common for people of all ages to experience headaches, but chronic headaches and migraines caused by stress can make it difficult to keep up with your daily routine. Dr. Ace Thayer here at So Cal Chiropractic developed the Thayer Chiropractic Method, which is highly effective at treating headaches. This method focuses on keeping the cervical spine in alignment, as this helps keep the rest of the body in alignment. During your appointment, Dr. Thayer will ask questions about your health history and take x-rays to determine the location and extent of misalignment. He will utilize the Thayer Chiropractic Method to balance your skull and neck, providing relief for headaches. He may also recommend tips for maintaining better posture and exercises and stretches that you can practice at home to prevent future headaches. 

Chiropractic Care for Neck Strain 

Neck strain is another common issue that affects people during and after the holidays. This problem can also continue if going back to work after the holidays means sitting at a desk for long periods of time. Neck strain and pain can also lead to problems like muscle spasms, shoulder pain, and herniated discs. Dr. Thayer can help you find relief from neck issues with a custom treatment plan that includes the Thayer Chiropractic Method. This can balance the neck, helping to reduce strain, relieve pain, and help you feel more comfortable.
