Your jaw and airway are more connected to your headaches than you think. 💭

When your airway is restricted, your neck and jaw muscles compensate — creating tension that builds into headaches or migraines. 😣

Dr. Taves explains this powerful connection and what you can do about it in the latest episode of The Headache Doctor Podcast.

When your shoulders feel glued to your ears or your upper back feels tight — this stretch is for you. 🙌

Your lat muscles connect your arms, shoulders, and spine. When they’re tight, they can pull your shoulders forward and add tension to your neck — a recipe for headaches by the end of the day. 💭

This simple lat stretch helps restore mobility and ease that deep shoulder pressure. Try it during your workday or after a workout for instant relief.

Ever feel that pressure build in your shoulders by mid-day? 😣

That’s your body’s way of saying your neck and shoulder muscles are working overtime.

A few rounds of shoulder shrugs can help release that built-up tension, improve blood flow, and take stress off your neck — one of the biggest contributors to headaches and migraines. 💆‍♀️✨

Try these next time your shoulders start to creep up toward your ears. Your neck (and your head) will thank you.

You’re not imagining it!

I so often see patients who’ve tried everything—meds, scans, specialists—without lasting relief.
What’s often overlooked? The neck.

Here’s why it matters:
📍 The upper cervical spine (top of your neck) is closely connected to the brainstem and trigeminal nerve—both major players in headache and migraine pain.
📍 Tension, stiffness, or misalignment here can refer pain to the head, eyes, or face.
📍 Treating this area directly—gently and intentionally—can lead to dramatic improvements in both frequency and intensity of symptoms.

Sometimes, understanding why you hurt is the first step to healing.

Can red light therapy help with headaches and migraines?
Yes — in several promising ways.

🧠 It boosts healing energy in your cells (ATP)
💨 Increases nitric oxide to improve blood flow
🌿 Calms your nervous system
🔥 Reduces inflammation
😌 Modulates serotonin (naturally supporting pain relief)
💉 it even mimics some Botox benefits — without injections

But here’s the key 👇
👏It’s a helpful adjunct to PT — not a cure.
I believe red light therapy can support healing and improve your ability to cope with pain, but it doesn’t address the root cause — which is often poor mobility in the upper neck.

📲 Hear more about red light therapy in episodes 246 & 247 of The Headache Doctor Podcast
