Headache Relief in Las Vegas: Tension Headache Chiropractor

A tension headache often feels like a tight band or steady pressure across the forehead, temples or the back of the head. It commonly comes with a stiff neck and tight shoulders. People who search for headache relief often want to understand what is behind the pattern, not only how to get through today.

Why the neck matters for tension headaches

The upper neck sits right beneath the skull. Stiff or irritated joints and muscles in the neck and upper back are commonly seen with headaches that start at the neck. Our exam looks at how your neck and upper back move, your posture and your daily habits such as desk work, phone use and driving.

What to expect at your visit

• A detailed history of your headaches: when they start, how long they last and what you notice before and after
• A careful exam and, when appropriate, digital X-rays
• A report of findings that explains what we found and the recommended plan
• Gentle, low-force care with no twisting or cracking of the neck

Gentle options we use

Dr. Devin Luzod has completed the NUCCA Part II examination. As a NUCCA chiropractor in Las Vegas he focuses on the atlas at the top of the neck. We also use ArthroStim instrument-assisted adjustments, low level laser therapy and home exercises. For migraines, read our page on headache and migraine care, or our guide on when to see a headache doctor in Las Vegas.

When to get medical care first

A sudden severe headache, a headache after a head injury, or a headache with fever, vision changes, weakness or confusion needs urgent medical care. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Chiropractic care is not a treatment or cure for medical conditions, and results vary.
