Say Goodbye to Neck Pain and Headaches

Say Goodbye to Neck Pain and Headaches – A Holistic Approach That Works!

Do you wake up with a stiff neck or a pounding headache that just won’t go away? Does sitting at your desk for long hours leave your neck feeling sore and tight? If so, you’re not alone! Neck pain and headaches are incredibly common and can seriously disrupt your daily life. The good news? You don’t have to live with it! At O'Keefe Matz Functional Health Clinic, we take a holistic, personalized approach to help you feel better—without relying solely on medication.

Why Does Neck Pain Cause Headaches?

Your neck does a lot more than just hold up your head—it supports movement, posture, and nerve function. When something goes wrong in this area, whether it’s poor posture, muscle tension, or an old injury, it can trigger headaches that range from mild discomfort to debilitating migraines. That’s because the nerves and muscles in your neck are closely connected to your head. When they get irritated, they can send pain signals upward, leading to tension headaches, cluster headaches, or even migraines.

Trigger Points: The Hidden Culprit Behind Your Headaches

Ever felt a knot in your neck or shoulders that, when pressed, sends pain shooting up to your head? Those are trigger points—tight, irritated areas in your muscles that can refer pain elsewhere in the body. Here are some of the most common ones that cause headaches:

• Upper Trapezius Trigger Points – Can create tension headaches that wrap around your temples and behind your eyes.

• Suboccipital Trigger Points – These small but powerful muscles at the base of your skull can cause pain that radiates to the forehead and even mimic sinus headaches.

• Sternocleidomastoid (SCM) Trigger Points – Often responsible for headaches around the temples, dizziness, and even jaw pain.

• Levator Scapulae Trigger Points – Can lead to neck stiffness and tension headaches that worsen with stress or poor posture.

If any of these sound familiar, don’t worry—we have solutions that work!

Our Holistic Approach to Neck Pain and Headaches

We believe in treating the root cause of pain, not just the symptoms. That’s why we offer a variety of proven, non-invasive treatments to help you feel your best:

1. Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) – Imagine a gentle electrical current that targets pain and inflammation right at the source. FSM helps relax tense muscles, reduce inflammation, and break up stubborn trigger points that contribute to headaches.

2. Chiropractic Care & Lumbar Flexion Distraction – If your spine is misaligned, it can put pressure on nerves, leading to chronic pain and headaches. Gentle chiropractic adjustments restore proper alignment, improve posture, and take the stress off your neck.

3. Soft Tissue Massage & Heated Stones – Who doesn’t love a good massage? We use targeted soft tissue therapy to release tension in the neck and shoulders, while heated stones enhance circulation and relaxation.

4. Acupuncture – A time-tested treatment that helps reduce pain, improve circulation, and restore balance in the body. Many of our patients find acupuncture incredibly effective for relieving headaches and chronic neck tension.

5. Ultrasound Therapy – This gentle, soundwave-based therapy penetrates deep into muscles, helping to reduce inflammation, ease tightness, and accelerate healing.

6. Cold Laser Therapy – A cutting-edge treatment that reduces inflammation and promotes cellular repair. It’s especially useful for chronic pain and stubborn trigger points.
