Headaches — Roseville, CA

Headache care in Roseville, CA.

Many recurring headaches start in the neck. Cervicogenic and tension-type headaches come from irritated joints and muscles in the upper cervical spine, and they respond to hands-on care in a way that medication alone often does not. Dr. Jared Thomas evaluates your neck first, and your first Roseville visit is $60.

Headaches that often trace to the neck

  • Pain starting at the base of the skull and wrapping forward
  • One-sided headaches that do not switch sides
  • Headaches triggered by neck movement or sustained posture
  • Band-like pressure across the forehead late in the workday
  • Tenderness in the upper neck and shoulders

Frequent contributors

  • Upper cervical joint restriction
  • Screen posture and unsupported desk setups
  • Jaw clenching and grinding
  • Old whiplash or concussion history
  • Dehydration, poor sleep, and stress load

Our approach

We work out whether your headaches are neck-driven before treating them, and we are direct when they are not — migraine with aura, for example, is managed medically, though neck care can still reduce the load on the system.

Upper cervical assessment and adjustments

Soft-tissue work for the suboccipitals and upper traps

Trigger tracking — screens, sleep, hydration, clenching

Referral for medical management when indicated

When to seek urgent care instead

Chiropractic is not the right first stop for everything. Get medical care right away if you have any of these:

  • The worst headache of your life, or one that peaks within seconds — call 911
  • Headache with fever, stiff neck, confusion, or a rash
  • Headache after a head injury, especially with vomiting or drowsiness
  • New neurological changes: weakness, slurred speech, or vision loss

Questions from Roseville patients

Can a chiropractor help headaches?

For cervicogenic and tension-type headaches, manual therapy directed at the neck is a recognized conservative option. Migraine is a different mechanism, though patients with both often find neck care reduces their overall frequency.

How many visits before I notice a change?

Many patients notice a shift within the first few weeks. Dr. Thomas gives you his expectation after the exam rather than a prepaid plan.

What does it cost?

First visit $60 including the exam. Then flat-rate monthly care from $120, with adjustments as recommended.
