Headache and Migraine Treatment in Boise, Idaho
When headaches keep coming back or migraines stop you cold, something in your neck or spine may be the cause.
Warning Signs
When Boise Headaches Mean More Than Stress
Boise's dry, high desert air sits around 40% humidity or lower. A lot of our patients notice their headaches get worse when they're dehydrated or tense from desk work. We see a steady stream of Micron and Boise State area workers. They get headaches tied to hours of screen time and poor posture. If your headaches show up daily, wake you up, or come with neck stiffness, that's not something to push through. Dr. Henze looks at your spine and neck first, because tension headaches and migraines often start there rather than your head.[1] Waiting it out usually just means more missed work and more pills.

Common Triggers
Tension Headaches
Tight neck and shoulder muscles from desk work can squeeze down on nerves and cause a dull, steady ache.
Migraines With Neck Pain
Many migraine sufferers also carry neck tension. We often find the two are connected, not separate problems.
Screen and Desk Posture
Hours hunched over a monitor strain the upper spine. This is common among our tech and healthcare patients.
Whiplash From Ski Falls
Bogus Basin ski season brings headaches tied to whiplash and neck strain that show up days later.
Dehydration Headaches
Boise's dry climate and summer heat lead to dehydration headaches that respond well to hydration counseling and adjustment.
Chronic Daily Headaches
If you reach for pain relievers almost every day, your spine may be the real issue, not your head.

Dr. Henze looks at posture, old injuries, and daily habits that might be feeding your headaches. We explain what we find in plain language.

We build a plan around your headaches, using adjustments and tools like laser therapy or spinal decompression when needed. Most patients notice a difference within a few visits.

I’ve been a patient at Dr. Henze’s for 27 years.
Even though I had to have back surgery 15 years into it, he has helped me tremendously healing afterwards and continued maintenance.

I started going to Dr Henze after experiencing extreme pain in my neck and upper back. He was able to adjust me, at first a few times a week and then gradually weaning off to more of a maintenance routine. I went from a pain scale of constantly being in a 7+ (out of 10) or above, down to a 1 or zero most days. You can tell he is very experienced. The office and staff are also wonderful. Would highly recommend!

Common Questions
Headache and Migraine Treatment Questions
Here are answers to what Boise patients ask us most about headache and migraine care.
-
How much does headache treatment cost?
Our $99 New Patient Special covers your exam, digital X-rays, and first treatment. After that, cost depends on how many visits your plan needs. We walk you through pricing before any ongoing care starts so there are no surprises.
-
How long until I feel relief?
Some patients feel better after their first visit, but most need a few weeks of regular adjustments. Chronic headaches that built up over years usually take longer than a headache that just started. We track your progress every visit.
-
Should I try to treat this myself first?
Stretching and rest can help mild tension headaches. But if headaches come back often or come with neck pain, you need a real exam. We find the cause instead of just covering the symptom.
-
How is this different from just taking pain medicine?
Pain medicine only masks the ache for a few hours. We look for the actual reason your headaches keep returning, often tension in your neck or spine. Fixing that reduces how often headaches happen in the first place.
-
When should I come in right away?
If your headaches happen daily, wake you up at night, or come after a fall or whiplash, come in soon. Ski season brings a lot of these cases from Bogus Basin. Waiting usually lets the problem settle in deeper.
-
What signs mean my headache is spine related?
Neck stiffness and headaches that start at the base of your skull point to your spine. Pain that gets worse with certain movements does too. We also see this often in patients with long desk hours. A simple exam confirms it.
-
Do you treat migraines differently than regular headaches?
Yes, migraines often need a broader look at your neck, posture, and sometimes hydration. We've treated thousands of patients over 30 years and build each plan around the specific pattern we find. No two headache plans look exactly the same.
