AboutJ.R. Strecker, B.S., D.C. Expertise I can answer questions related to the signs, symptoms, causes, types, management, treatment, and prevention of headaches and migraines. It is critical to accurately identify the type and cause of the headache to maximally reduce the frequency, duration, and intensity of the headache.
Experience I have extensive experience as a chiropractor in an integrated system. My background is mostly experienced with routine patient management of musculoskeletal disorders and pain management. I work closely with highly-trained anesthesiologists for pain management protocols, and I am also the chief chiropractor of an integrated clinic incorporating chiropractic, massage therapy, allopathic medicine, acupuncture, herbology, homeopathy, and naturopathic medicine. I typically integrate a combination of these aspects for both the wellness and pain management of my patients. I have treated patients at Venice Family Clinic, the nation’s largest free clinic and a teaching clinic for the UCLA medical system, in a heavily researched pilot program incorporating chiropractic and acupuncture with allopathic medicine. In my private practice, I also work alongside the chief medical director for student health at California State University – Los Angeles. Next to back and neck pain, headaches and migraines are the most common conditions I treat in my practice.

I've been experiencing the very same thing for the past 24 hours. I am a 30-year old male. I can remember that I was at a spa the other night when it started. I was having a massage and I fell asleep. Upon waking up, I felt a sharp pain at a pinpoint part on the left side of my head. The pain lasts for about 2 seconds but is pretty intense. It's so intense at times that I cant help but grimace in pain.
The pain comes and go. I feel it almost every 15 seconds. When I touch the area where I feel the pain, I cant sense anything wrong. It's not even tender to the touch. I cant seem to find a trigger why the pain occurs. It doesnt affect my sleep though. However, it makes me want to sleep longer because I find relief when I'm asleep.
I'll see a neurologist in the morning and update you if I find anything that makes sense.
