At NTO Wellness and Rehab our very own Chiropractor, Dr. James A. Haase would like to share some advice on how chiropractic services are effective in reducing and eliminating tension headaches so that you can finally be pain-free in your day-to-day living.
Looking for a headache remedy?
A headache may arise from muscular tension, vascular changes, sinus congestion, eyestrain and many other underlying causes. They can start over the eyes, in the back of the head, on the sides
or top of the head, or feel centred behind the eyes.
The amount of pain associated with a headache many range from a mild ache to a throbbing, nauseating, relentless pain.
Chiropractic and Tension Headaches
Tension headaches are caused by muscular tension and contraction involving the muscles of the shoulders, neck and head. Often this tension is a result of emotional stress, postural
stress, though injuries can also be the catalyst. It’s normal for muscles to contract when we are threatened irritated or angry.
Over time, though, if work or home life creates a constant source of stress, the muscular tension can become chronic. This, in turn, leads to uneven stresses on the skeletal structure of the body, and changes in normal posture and movement to compensate.
These misalignments lead to tension that is more muscular and contraction, which eventually results in headache pain.
