Headaches
Headaches can have many different causes.
Tension and restricted movement through the neck and shoulders are common contributors.
Getting those areas moving better can make a noticeable difference for many people.
Your Headache May Have More to Do With Your Neck and Shoulders Than You Think
Think about what happens when you're stressed, sitting at a computer for hours, looking down at your phone, driving, working with your hands, or simply carrying tension throughout the day.
Your shoulders can tighten. Your neck can become stiff. Movement can become restricted.
And for many people, that tension through the neck and shoulders can contribute to headaches.
That's one of the first things we're interested in when someone comes to us experiencing frequent headaches.
How well is your neck moving? How much tension are you carrying through your shoulders? And what else is happening throughout the body that may be contributing to that tension?
When restricted movement and muscular tension are major contributors, helping those areas move more freely can make a significant difference.
In fact, in our practice, some people arrive with a headache and leave their Myopractic session feeling better. Results vary.
That doesn't mean every headache has the same cause or that every headache will respond the same way. But when tension and restricted movement are part of the problem, improving movement gives us something very tangible to work with.
Why We Look Beyond Just Your Head
Even when you're feeling the problem in your head, we don't just focus on your head. Tension and restricted movement through the neck and shoulders are often major contributors to headaches.
Your body doesn't move as a collection of separate parts. Restriction through the pelvis, spine, rib cage, shoulders, or other areas can influence how the rest of the body moves and adapts. That's why Myopractic care begins by evaluating the hips and pelvis and then works through the body as a whole.
We'll absolutely pay attention to your head, neck and shoulders when headaches are a concern. But we also want to understand why those areas may be carrying so much tension in the first place.
By helping restore movement throughout the body, we can reduce some of the compensation that may be contributing to the tension you're experiencing through the neck and shoulders.
The goal is to get your body moving and functioning better as a whole, with moving and feeling better as the goal, not simply chase the place where you're feeling the symptom.
What to Expect From Myopractic Care for Headaches
Your Myopractor will evaluate how your body is moving and look for areas where movement may be restricted.
From there, we use hands-on techniques to help improve movement throughout the body. Your session may include soft-tissue manipulation, joint mobilization, stretching, and other techniques based on what we find and what your body needs that day. If tension and restricted movement are contributing to your headaches, we'll pay particular attention to restoring healthy movement through the neck, shoulders, and surrounding areas while still considering how the rest of your body is moving. Rather than applying the exact same routine to everyone, your session is guided by what we find as we evaluate how your body is moving.
As Myopractors, we're excellent at helping people move and feel better. But even though we're great at what we do, we're still only one piece of the puzzle. A very effective one, but just one piece.
What you do outside of your sessions matters even more. The more you understand your body and take an active role in your own health, the more you can support and accelerate the progress we make together. When headaches have been an ongoing issue, those everyday habits can play an important role in helping you maintain the progress you're making and keep feeling your best. Our goal isn't to make you dependent on frequent care. it's to help you get back to moving and feeling your best, so your body doesn't keep you from doing the things you love. That's the idea behind the Life Is Motion Newsletter. Each article shares practical ideas to help you better understand your body, move better, build simple habits, and become the healthiest version of yourself.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The good news is that often people notice relief in their first session.
Additional sessions build on that progress.
If you've been dealing with headaches for years, we wouldn't expect one session to completely resolve a long-standing pattern. But that doesn't mean you have to wait weeks or months before you start feeling relief. How much care you'll need depends on what we find: how long the pattern has been present, how frequently you're experiencing headaches, and how your body responds.
That's one of the reasons we created our New Client 3-Visit Package. Your first session gives us an opportunity to begin making meaningful progress, while the next two allow us to continue addressing remaining tension and restrictions.
By the end of your third session, not only will you hopefully feel much better, but together we'll have a much clearer sense of the progress you're making, giving us a much better idea of what you may or may not need going forward.
New Client 3-Visit Package
Includes your Initial Evaluation & Treatment, plus 2 additional Standard Myopractic sessions.
Often people notice a real difference after just one session, but lasting results typically take some consistency up front. By the end of your third session, you'll likely have a much clearer picture of how your body is responding, and we'll be able to give you better guidance on what you may—or may not—need beyond that point.
Package credits can be used at either of our offices.

Ready to Schedule?
Each Myopractic session begins by getting the hips balanced and moving, followed by a whole-body evaluation and treatment. Rather than just focusing only on where you're experiencing discomfort, Myopractic care looks at how the body is moving as a whole to identify and address areas of restriction. Whether you're dealing with pain, limited mobility, or simply want your body moving and functioning at its best, you can schedule your appointment below.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Myopractic help with headaches?
Headaches can have many different causes, and not every headache responds the same way. Tension and restricted movement through the neck and shoulders are common contributors, and Myopractic can help many people by improving movement in those areas and the rest of the body. Results vary from person to person.
Can dehydration contribute to headaches?
Dehydration can contribute to headaches for some people, so sometimes drinking more water is one of the simplest things you can do. Your individual needs can vary depending on things like activity level, climate and how much you're sweating.
Why would a Myopractor work on my neck and shoulders for a headache?
Stress, driving, working with your hands, or simply carrying tension through the day can tighten the shoulders and make the neck stiff, and that restricted movement may add to the tension felt in the head. We look at how your neck and shoulders are moving, and at what else in the body may be contributing to that tension.
Does a Myopractor diagnose the cause of my headaches?
No. A Myopractor does not diagnose headaches. Myopractic looks at how your body is moving and works on areas of restriction that may be contributing to tension.
When should I see a doctor about a headache?
Seek medical care promptly for a sudden, severe headache, a headache after a head injury, or a headache with vision changes, confusion, weakness, fever or a stiff neck.
