Headache Relief in Franklin
A headache can change your whole personality. You get quieter, shorter, and less patient, but not because you want to. Many people who come to see our chiropractor, Dr. Rick Cutsinger, describe a “pressure building” feeling that starts in the neck and spreads up, usually on busy workdays, after too much screen time, or after sleeping in a weird position. It’s not dramatic, it’s just draining. And it keeps happening.
Stealing Your Focus and Patience
For many people, headaches aren’t random. They follow patterns tied to posture, workload, and daily habits. When discomfort becomes frequent, it can quietly chip away at your focus, mood, and tolerance for everyday stressors.
The Neck, The Shoulders, and Screen-Time Posture
Dr. Rick often sees tension patterns associated with office and computer work. When your arms stretch forward to type and your head drifts toward the screen, the cervical and trapezius muscles tighten. That tension can irritate nerves and contribute to head pain.
Sometimes the trigger is obvious. Other times it shows up a day or two later, which makes it easy to miss the real cause and easy to blame the weather, coffee, or “stress.” As Dr. Rick often notes, forward head posture from excessive screen time can even affect breathing, which can further increase neck stiffness.
How We Approach Headache Care
The first step is figuring out your pattern. Dr. Rick assesses neck motion, posture, and the location of tension. Chiropractic adjustments can help restore movement in restricted joints and reduce inflammation that keeps the cycle going.
Many patients also benefit from simple ergonomic guidance, more frequent breaks, and shoulder blade exercises that can loosen the upper back and support easier breathing.
