Headaches Care in Anacortes

Finding the neck and posture problems behind your headaches, instead of reaching for another pill.

Understanding Headaches

What Is Headaches?

Most recurring headaches are not a problem with your head. They start lower down, in the neck and upper back. When your head sits forward of your shoulders, the muscles that hold it up never get to rest, the joints in your neck get irritated, and the nerves that run up into your scalp get compressed. That is why headaches so often come with a stiff neck, tight shoulders, and a day spent at a screen.

Signs & Symptoms

Signs It May Be Headaches

  • Headaches that start at the base of the skull
  • Pain that builds through the day or after screen time
  • A stiff, tight neck and shoulders alongside the headache
  • Pain behind the eyes or across the temples
  • Headaches that keep coming back no matter what you take

If any of these sound familiar, an evaluation is worth it. The sooner we understand what is going on, the sooner we can help.

How We Treat It

Your Path to Relief

We look at your posture and your neck, not just your symptoms. If your head is carried forward, we measure it, show you, and build a plan to correct it. Care combines precise adjustments, traction to restore the natural curve in your neck, and laser to calm irritated tissue.

Here is what a normal day looks like when the headaches stop running it:

"I went in kind of hopeless and tired of getting prescriptions thrown at me. I had so much pressure in my head and neck. I am excited to tell everyone that the pressure is gone and I can think again! My memory is improving and I am not tired all day long. Big shout out to Dr. Johnsen for everything you and your team have helped me through."Tiara C., Verified Patient
