Understanding the Spine–Headache Connection
Headaches are a common issue — but did you know they’re often linked to spinal misalignment? Poor posture, forward head position, and tight neck muscles can cause the cervical spine (neck) to shift out of alignment. This can create muscle tension, nerve irritation, and even reduce blood flow — all of which contribute to tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches, and migraines.
Fortunately, many posture-related headaches can be improved or even eliminated by restoring natural spinal alignment.

🧠 How Spinal Misalignment Triggers Headaches
- Forward head posture places excess strain on neck muscles and joints
- Compressed cervical nerves can refer pain into the head
- Tight traps and suboccipitals can cause tension-type headaches
- Jaw misalignment or TMJ linked to poor neck posture can also contribute
In many cases, realigning the upper spine can dramatically reduce headache frequency and intensity.
