Headache and Migraine Relief in San Mateo
At High Amplitude Health Chiropractic in San Mateo, CA, we specialize in more than just spinal adjustments — we’re also experts in headache and migraine relief. Many headaches start in the muscles of your neck, shoulders, jaw, and face, and we’ve developed highly effective treatments to target these problem areas.
When these muscles become tight from poor posture, stress, or teeth clenching (TMJ), they can trigger tension headaches or even migraines. By combining trigger point therapy, pressure therapy, Active Release Therapy (ART), and advanced myofascial release, we relieve the muscle tension that causes your headaches — often bringing relief in just a few sessions.
Why Chronic Headaches Happen

Chronic headaches are often a muscle problem, not just a head problem. The most common causes we see in our San Mateo patients include:
- Forward head posture (“tech neck”)
- Jaw clenching or teeth grinding (TMJ)
- Stress-related muscle tension
- Poor workstation ergonomics
- Old injuries to the head, neck, or shoulders
When left untreated, these issues can keep muscles tight and irritated, leading to more frequent and intense headaches.
Our Proven Treatment for Headache & Migraine Relief
For over 13 years, we’ve helped San Mateo residents find long-term relief from migraines and tension headaches using our unique myofascial therapy approach. We focus on:
- Muscles at the base of the skull
- Trapezius muscles connecting the shoulders to the skull
- Jaw and facial muscles
- Upper neck joints and ligaments
By addressing both the muscle and joint components, we can stop headaches at the source instead of just masking the pain.
TMJ, Posture, and Stress-Related Headaches
Whether your headaches are caused by TMJ dysfunction, posture issues, or stress, we’ll create a custom treatment plan that may include:
- Myofascial therapy to release tight muscles
- Chiropractic adjustments to restore movement
- Active Release Therapy (ART) for deep tissue release
- Posture and ergonomic coaching to prevent future headaches
