Tired of dealing with headaches and wondering if there’s more to the cause than just stress or dehydration? It might surprise you, but your spine—particularly your neck—could be the real culprit behind those persistent headaches.

In this video, I break down the connection between your neck’s alignment and headache pain. Your neck should have a natural curve, called cervical lordosis, that balances your head’s weight. When this curve is disrupted, it can put stress on the nerves and blood vessels running through your spine, leading to tension headaches or even migraines.

I’ll explore how poor posture, especially from sitting hunched over at a desk or staring down at a phone, can flatten that natural neck curve. This tension radiates from your neck, creating the headaches you feel across your head, eyes, and even into your neck.

You’ll also learn why taking painkillers isn’t a long-term solution. While they may offer temporary relief, they don’t address the root cause of the pain. In fact, over-reliance on medication can lead to rebound headaches, making the problem even worse.

I’ll also address:
+ How improving your posture can relieve tension and reduce headaches
+ The importance of movement and regular breaks from sitting
+ Simple posture adjustments you can make right now to avoid straining your neck

Spinal correction techniques, like cervical traction, are invaluable for headache resolution. One effective tool is the Denneroll device, which gently restores your neck’s natural curve, relieving pressure and reducing the likelihood of future headaches. A 2-year study found that patients who used the Denneroll in addition to standard care had significantly better long-term results, with fewer headaches and less disability.

If traction seems intimidating, don’t worry— there are easy, beginner-friendly methods, like using a rolled towel under your neck to start easing tension and retraining your spine.

Headaches often start in your spine, not your head. By correcting your posture, reducing spinal misalignment, and giving your neck the support it needs, you can address the root cause and potentially say goodbye to painkillers.
