Tension Headaches

Tension headaches are not pleasant, but they don't have to be debilitating, either. Tension headaches are mild, throbbing headaches that feel like tight bandages wrapped around your head. They can happen at any time of the day or night. They occur when the muscles around your neck and scalp get too tight and cause pressure against your brain.

What Is the Cause of Tension Headaches?

Tension headaches often mimic other types of headaches, so it's essential to try and figure out what is causing the pain. The most common causes are muscle tension, stress, or anxiety. Other causes of a tension headache are poor posture and inadequate sleep. Understanding what is causing yours can help you avoid it in the future. For instance, if you've not been getting enough sleep at night, you can focus on that.

Sometimes, tension headaches last for several days and do not respond to self-care. If this is the case, you should consult with our practitioners, especially if other symptoms, including fever and neck stiffness, accompany the headache.

How to Relieve Tension Headaches

Treatment may vary depending on your specific symptoms. When the muscles around your neck and head are too tight, they can press against the brain. The pressure can lead to intense pain or make you feel nauseous, dizzy, or lightheaded. The best way to relieve this type of headache is by visiting our chiropractor. We can conduct a thorough assessment to diagnose your specific condition and recommend a series of techniques to help you achieve relief.

Chiropractic adjustments can help by releasing tension in your neck and back area. Massage therapy can help relax the muscles around your neck, which can help alleviate the pain. Taking a hot bath or warm compress may also relieve your tension headaches by relaxing your muscles. One of the best things about choosing chiro care for tension headaches is that it will treat the problem at the root. That means effective treatment.
