Headaches
The Tangelo chiropractic and rehab team has worked extensively with those who experience various kinds of headaches. Many believed that the challenges their headaches created were part of their everyday life and finding effective solutions for them was impossible.
The doctors and specialists in our Seattle clinics have not only helped conquer the headache pain of many patients, but we’ve found techniques that get to the core of the problem, so their headaches have become a thing of the past.
Let our team find the solutions that rid you of pain in the most non-invasive, natural way, void of medications. We want you to live the healthy, active lifestyle you deserve. Your headaches don’t have to take one more day from you.
Typical Headache Symptoms
Headaches stem from dozens of factors, both internally and externally. Perhaps dehydration is the cause, or maybe lack of sleep, stress, or eye strain. All of these are treatable through a healthy approach to your lifestyle.
However, sometimes, headaches occur due to more severe reasons, and they contribute to several symptoms ranging from mild to substantial. Whether your headaches are tension, migraine, or chronic, we can help manage the pain and get you back into the routine you’re missing out on.
Many of our patients suffer from at least one of the following:
- Throbbing, dull, or aching pain in, behind, or around the eyes
- Pressure on the head
- Throbbing in the temples
- Cervicogenic headaches
- Light sensitivity
- Noise sensitivity

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Dr Mike and the entire team are miracle workers - they create a casual yet motivating and open environment. They not only find a way to give you some immediate pain relief but work with you on a personalized home program to ensure it actually heals and gets better, not just a quick fix. Don't hesitate to give them a chance!
I have had chronic lumbar disc issues for 10 years and have tried most things to treat it. Massage, acupuncture, multiple rounds of physical therapy, and a steroid injection 2 years ago. Anyone who has had a severe disc herniation knows that the pain is debilitating in the acute phase, and there is so much fear of hurting yourself again while recovering.
This time, after I got through the VERY acute phase of around the clock pain meds and muscle relaxants and could finally move enough to get myself to my car, I made an appointment with Tangelo.
Dr. Mike at Tangelo has an amazing multi-modal approach to caring for disc herniation injuries. The combination of chiropractic myofascial release (majority muscle, very minimal spine popping), and targeted physical therapy in the hybrid appointments is great for healing and building confidence.
Dr. Mike and the physical therapy team are great at quelling the fears that rise up when the pain isn't going away as fast as you want it to. I was surprised to be lifting weight in my early sessions, and it actually was helping the pain rather than hurting more.
I will say, if you have a similar story to mine, be ready to put in the work consistently and be patient. The hardest part about disc herniations is that there is really no magical quick fix-it. A steroid injection will only buy you time. Time to put in the consistent strength training and mobility work to keep your spine strong and allow the disc to (hopefully!) move back into place.
Now, one year later, I have minimal low back pain. I can weightlift and run again, and I have more mobility than I did before my injury.
If you want to build your functional fitness and reduce pain, this is the place to do it! I highly recommend them.
