Chiropractic Care for Headaches and Migraines: Natural Relief at Scriven Chiropractic in Davis, CA

If you're someone who deals with frequent headaches or migraines, you know how much it can affect your daily life. From missing work or social events to simply struggling through the day, chronic head pain can be exhausting. At Scriven Chiropractic in Davis, CA, we offer a natural, drug-free approach to managing headaches and migraines through personalized chiropractic care.

How Chiropractic Can Help

Many headaches and migraines are linked to tension, poor posture, or misalignment in the neck and upper back. Chiropractic adjustments help by:

• Reducing nerve irritation

• Improving spinal alignment

• Releasing muscle tension

• Enhancing blood flow to the head and neck

By addressing the root cause—not just the symptoms—we aim to reduce the frequency and intensity of your headaches.

Targeted Myofascial Release for Tension Relief

Muscle tension plays a big role in many types of headaches. At Scriven Chiropractic, we use targeted myofascial release to relieve stress in key areas that contribute to headache pain:

• Suboccipitals: These small muscles at the base of your skull often hold chronic tension and are commonly involved in tension-type and cervicogenic headaches.

• Scalenes: Tightness in the scalenes can affect both posture and nerve flow, contributing to head and neck discomfort.

• Sternocleidomastoid (SCM): This large neck muscle can refer pain to the head and face when it's tight or irritated.

Using precise, hands-on techniques, we release these muscle groups to reduce pressure, improve movement, and relieve the muscular component of your headaches.

Diversified Chiropractic Adjustments

We combine myofascial therapy with diversified chiropractic adjustments, a proven technique to restore motion and alignment in the cervical spine. These adjustments are gentle, specific, and highly effective for:

• Reducing joint restrictions

• Enhancing nervous system function

• Promoting better posture and balance

When combined with soft tissue work, adjustments become even more impactful—offering relief that’s not just short-term, but sustainable.

At Scriven Chiropractic, we’ve helped patients with:

• Tension headaches: Often caused by stress or neck strain
