Headache Treatment in Chippewa Falls
Recurring headaches can make even simple days feel overwhelming. Throbbing, pressure, and light or sound sensitivity can leave you worn out and relying on medication that only helps for a short time. Chippewa Falls Chiropractor Dr. Jason Denn looks beyond the symptom to what may be happening in your neck and upper back.
Why the Upper Neck Matters for Headaches
The first and second vertebrae sit right under your skull, where key nerves and blood vessels pass through. When these joints are stiff or out of balance, the surrounding muscles tighten, and a nerve in that area can become irritated, often causing head discomfort.
With a careful exam at Denn Chiropractic, Dr. Denn looks at posture, neck motion, and tenderness at the base of your skull. When needed, he uses precise chiropractic adjustments to restore motion and reduce strain, allowing your body to relax those tissues and ease the headache pattern at its source.

Targeted Techniques for Different Headache Types
At our office, Dr. Denn commonly treats patients with migraines, tension headaches, cluster headaches, and headaches associated with neck stiffness or tight shoulders. He may use several gentle chiropractic techniques to match your comfort level. He commonly uses the Diversified Technique, a hands-on spinal adjustment that restores motion and reduces stress on nearby nerves.
Upper cervical techniques focus on the top two vertebrae, where the neck and skull meet. For those who prefer care without “popping” sounds, Dr. Denn may use an Activator Methods® instrument or Toggle Recoil. Soft tissue work often includes Active Release Technique® and cranial sacral work to release tight muscles and subtle tension.
