Migraines are more than just a headache. It causes throbbing in a particular area that varies in intensity and can be extremely disturbing.
Most people believe that a migraine is a severe headache, rather a headache is just a symptom of migraine.
A migraine is a primary disorder, and the exact causes of migraines are unknown, but stress, bright lights, strong smells in perfumes, and secondhand smoke causes migraine. Hence, we ought to be careful of the extent to which we inhale things and stress ourselves in school or at work.
Migraines can begin from early childhood and may not occur till one gets to early adulthood. Females are more likely to have migraines than men.
Nevertheless, our team at Resilience Chiropractic in San Leandro has 3 lifestyle tips that can help you get rid of headaches and migraines.
1. Water
Water is the most common reason people experience headaches and migraines. Water plays an important role in our everyday lives and to stay healthy, you have to drink a lot of water.
Dehydration often leads to migraines as well as headaches. Studies have shown that inadequate hydration is a common cause of headaches and migraines. Drinking water has been shown to relieve headaches within 30 minutes to 3 hours.
When some people do not drink water, they get a headache or a migraine-This means that dehydration is a known trigger of migraines. Therefore, you have to make sure youāre taking enough water.
To calculate the volume of water you should be drinking every day, take your body weight and cut it in half. That is the number of ounces you should consume of water every day. Itās easy to let the day go by and forget to stay on top of your water consumption. Start your day with a big cup of water to get going on the right foot and for a better and overall healthy life.
2. Blue Light Glasses
If you find yourself getting a lot of screen time on a regular basis, then try using blue light glasses. Wearing blue light glasses can definitely help in getting rid of headaches and migraines by eliminating light from displays that you have become sensitive to.
These blue light glasses are really effective at blocking blue light waves. Blue lights from our phone screen, television, or computer screen can trigger a migraine attack. The visual stimulation from these electronic devices can overload our brains, giving us a bad effect.
Headache and migraine specialists recommend that we limit screen time.
Blue light glasses are so comfy to wear that you can wear them all day to prevent getting a headache or migraine. It has no adverse effects when worn all day and can be easily applied to your everyday dressing glasses.
Patients with migraines have recorded reliefs with the use of blue light glasses. It has reduced the discomfort up to 70%.
It is advisable to take breaks from your computer screen, reduce your computer screen glare, clean your computer display and use the 20-20-20 rules to rest your eyes to avoid headache or migraine.
Studies have also shown that blocking blue light from entering oneās eye after sundown can also help give you a better nightās rest.
3. Less Caffeine
A lot of people rely heavily on caffeine throughout the day. Our consumption of caffeine has increased drastically over the last few decades. Itās gotten to the point where people actually have caffeine withdrawal if they donāt get their daily dose.
Caffeine is not ideal for overall health, and itās recommended to monitor your intake. Having too much caffeine can cause headaches and migraines, so if youāre experiencing head pain, it could be related to your caffeine consumption.
Our suggestion is to keep tabs on how much caffeine you are consuming and working towards a plan to reduce your regular caffeine intake. It will help with your headaches, migraines, and your overall health to be a minimal caffeine diet.

Yesterday, my son and I had a great first visit to Resilience Chiropractic. The office was welcoming and professional, and Dr. Ernest was especially thoughtful and attentive. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made us feel comfortable throughout. Weāre looking forward to coming back!
Visit was quick and thorough! Extremely efficient and effective! Ernest was able to identify the issue and fix my complications! Will see Dr Luong again!
Dr Ernest Luong is an exceptional chiropractor and individual. He cares for your needs, is extremely understanding and patient, and wants to help you get back to where you were before and even more. 6 Stars if possible
Dr. Luong is a miracle worker!<br>I donāt know exact how he does it, but I know that he makes the pain go away. Iāve always been very leery about Chiropractic procedures, especially neck, cracking, but Dr. Luong does it in such a gentle and confident way, that I feel at ease and relaxed,, and the bottom line is when I walk out of his office I always feel better. His office is clean and comfortable, and his prices are quite reasonable.I have recommended him to several of my friends and family, and will continue to do so.
Such a knowledgeable, efficient and attentive chiropractor and staff. Iāve been treated with kindness and respect every time Iāve visited over the past several years, and left with feeling much better. 10/10 would recommend
I went to bed last night feeling better. My back pain had eased. I love the massage table and the decompression tables. I will be back next week for decompression.
This is my first Chiropractor spot. I been going there since it first open. It help my body through alot pain. The work I do, it came with alot pain. Resilience Chiropractor is the place to recovery and tune upš.
I was in a car accident and have never been to a chiropractor. I realized I needed it bad. Saying I was terrified is an understatement. The staff and Chiropractor were amazing. Made me feel comfortable and eased my anxiety. Another chiropractor i spoke to on the phone creeped me out. 10/10 definitely recommend!!!!
Dr. Earnest and his staff provide excellent care. I'm a long-standing consumer of chiropractic treatment and greatly appreciate Dr. Earnest's skills -- both chiropractic and listening. My pain levels are down substantially, and my functionality is way up. I particularly appreciate that Dr. Earnest does not push pre-payment plans.
Dr. Ernest is an excellent chiropractorāprofessional caring, and very effective. I felt real relief after just a few visits. I always recommend him to my friends and families.
It was very professional and exactly what I needed. I havenāt been to a chiropractor in a while and i was very impressed with how cheerful the staff was and how attentive the Dr. was before, during and after the session. My wife was the one who went here first and I followed her lead after a few weeks. Iām glad I did. I will recommend this establishment to anyone in need of this service.
I've been dealing with a lower back pain for years, and it's been a constant struggle with certain movements. After a few visits here, I can already feel a noticeable difference. Movements that used to be painful are a more manageable, which has been a huge relief.<br>The staff at the office are very friendly and welcoming, which makes each visit a positive experience. The doctor is knowledgeable and takes time to understand what's going on and explain the treatment approach clearly.<br>Overall, I'm really encouraged by the progress of getting a chiropractic adjustment and would definitely recommend this place to anyone dealing with ongoing back pain.
Ernest is an absolute gem. He's kind, attentive, and careful, and I don't trust anyone else with my spine. I needed a good chiropractor after several injuries and after being harmed by other chiropractors. Ernest is great because he listens, will respect your wishes, and adjusts in a manner that is easy on the body. I have seen him regularly for 2 years at least. He also has great suggestions on muscle balancing that you can use in your exercise program. He's been an immense help to me in my recovery.
THE CHIROPRACTOR ABD HIS ASSISTANT ARE VERY NICE AND MAKE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE.I WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN FOR MONTHS DUE TO A CAR ACCIDENT.WHEN I LEFT THERE I FELT SO RELIEVED FROM JUST ONE SESSION.EXCELLENT CHIROPRACTER
Everyone in the office are very pleasant and professional. I like the experience that I have received. They are always ready and on time for you. Very nice people...
We had such a wonderful experience at Resilience Chiropractic with Dr. Luong. I honestly canāt say enough good things about him and his team.<br><br>We brought our 17-month-old daughter in because she had a very sore arm and we were worried it might be broken. We are visiting from another country and donāt have insurance here, so we were quite anxious about what to do. The reception staff were unbelievably kind and helpful and managed to squeeze us in the same day, which meant so much to us.<br><br>Dr. Luong was incredibly patient and thorough with our daughter. He took the time to really figure out what was going on with her arm and even did an X-ray to rule out fractures and breaks and to make sure everything was okay. He was so gentle, calm, and kind with her, which immediately put us at ease as parents.<br><br>I also ended up getting an adjustment myself, and I felt immediate relief in my hips and back afterwards. Itās clear that Dr. Luong genuinely cares about his patients and the quality of care he provides.<br><br>This is easily one of the best chiropractic experiences Iāve had in a long time. If youāre looking for a chiropractor in the San Leandro area (or in The Bay Area in general) who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly dedicated to his patients, I highly recommend Dr. Luong and Resilience Chiropractic.
Loved going to Resilience Chiro, Doc always takes good care of his patients. Always a friendliest smile every time we come into their office. Staff is always excellent and the healing is real. Always love coming in for adjustments.
I found Dr. Ernest through a referral from another chiropractor and he has helped me tremendously with my shoulder and lower back issues! From the moment I walk through the door I feel welcomed, cared for and treated well. I highly recommend Dr. Ernest.

Resilience chiropractor itās a great chiropractic center, great customer service from Moesha in the front desk, she is always smiling and make people feel welcome, the chiropractor Dr. Ernest Loung is a great doctor, he has help me to improved my quality of life, thanks to his care, my stiffness and numbness had improved in a 90 %, the pain in my legs and my back had almost completely disappeared, Iāll recommend this business to my family and friends, because they have very good equipment like the decompression machine that helps to gently stretch the spine creating negative pressure<br>That retracts bulging/ herniated discs and reduce nerve pressure. Overall this place itās a hidden gem in San Leandro CA.
Went to the office for the first time to make an appointment and Dr. Luong made time for me that day. Friendly, relaxed environment. Clean and efficient operation. Walked out feeling younger. Will visit regularly going forward.
I usually go in for chiropractic care once or twice a year as a form of maintenance, and Resilience Chiropractic has consistently been a great experience. The environment is calm and professional, and the team takes the time to understand how your body is moving and functioning rather than rushing you through an appointment.<br><br>Each visit feels intentional and focused on helping me feel more aligned and mobile afterward. I appreciate that the approach is centered on long-term wellness and functionality, not just quick fixes. Itās the kind of place I trust when my body needs a reset and some thoughtful care.<br><br>Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for supportive, well-rounded chiropractic care in a comfortable setting.
I want to state that the office is very clean & the front desk MA is very respectful and sweet . The doctor is the best . I pulled muscle he made sure he explain my treatment and steps on how heal while coming to treatments and adjust me now I can walk without limping .
I have been a patient of Dr. Earnest since before he created Resilience Chiropractic.<br>I have been going to chiropractors since the late 1990's and he is the best!<br>He is knowledgeable and has the skills to help you.<br>Trust me, I am a big guy with multiple issues and he keeps me pain free and flexible.<br>I cannot recommend him enough.<br>He is by far the best.<br>Give him a try. You will be impressed!
