Posture and Headaches

Could posture and Tech Neck be the cause of your headaches?

If you’ve been dealing with frequent headaches — especially those that start at the base of your neck or seem to build behind your eyes — I want to share something many people overlook:
Your posture may be the real cause!

At Pinnacle Chiropractic Care here in Temple Terrace, I see patients every week who are surprised to learn that their neck pain, tension, and even migraines often stem from poor posture and misalignments in the cervical spine.

When we spend hours hunched over desks, driving around Tampa traffic, or looking down at our phones, it puts stress on the spine. This “forward head posture” increases tension in the muscles, compresses nerves, and restricts blood flow — which can lead to cervicogenic headaches, tight shoulders, and upper back discomfort.

How Do You Know If It’s Posture?

If you notice any of the following, it might be time to see a chiropractor near you:

• Headaches that worsen after sitting

• Constant neck tension or stiffness

• A need to crack your neck or roll your shoulders

• Pain between the shoulder blades

• Tingling or pressure behind your eyes

These are common signs we see at our chiropractic clinic — and the good news is, we can help.

Chiropractic Care That Gets to the Root Cause

At Pinnacle Chiropractic Care, we provide natural, non-invasive treatment options for:

• Headaches and migraines

• Neck and back pain

• Posture correction

• Sciatica and pinched nerves

• Car accident injuries and whiplash

Through gentle spinal adjustments, targeted therapy, and customized chiropractic treatment plans, we help restore proper alignment, reduce nerve pressure, and relieve the tension that may be triggering your symptoms.

A Real Patient Success Story

Jessica, a patient from Tampa, came to our chiropractic office with daily tension headaches and neck stiffness. After a few weeks of consistent care — including spinal adjustments and posture rehab — her headaches disappeared, and her energy returned. She even noticed she was sleeping better.
