Treat Neck Pain, Headaches, and Your Sacrum

Logan Eldan • July 10, 2025

This week at Oak Bay Family Chiropractic, we’ve been spotlighting some of the most common issues we help treat — neck pain, headaches, and the often-overlooked sacrum at the base of your spine.

Let’s take a quick look at what we’ve been sharing — and how it can help you feel your best.

Neck Pain Relief with the Activator Tool


In our latest Instagram reel, Dr. Tyler shows how we use the Activator tool to relieve neck pain. This gentle, precise device is perfect for adjusting sensitive areas — especially when traditional manual adjustments aren’t ideal.


Neck pain can come from screen time, stress, poor posture, or past injuries. The Activator helps improve joint mobility, reduce inflammation, and ease tension — all without the snap, crackle, pop.


Chiropractic Help for Headaches


We also asked: Do you get headaches?

Tension, migraine, or neck-related — many headaches are connected to spinal misalignment, especially in the neck. Chiropractic care helps relieve pressure, improve movement, and often reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches over time.

If headaches are interfering with your day, we’d love to help you get to the root cause.

“Guess This Bone” — The Sacrum!


Did you guess it right? This week’s “Guess This Bone” post was all about the sacrum — the triangular bone that connects your spine to your pelvis.


Quick Facts:

  • Made up of five fused vertebrae
  • Anchors your spine to your hips
  • Supports your upper body weight
  • Misalignment can affect your back, hips, and gait

The sacrum is foundational to your posture and stability — so keeping it in alignment can have a big impact on how you feel every day.
