Headaches

Headaches can appear in a variety of different ways.  Tension headaches are the most common type.  They can be caused by lack of sleep, stress, or muscle tension of the neck muscles.  The following is a list of symptoms that could occur with these type of headaches. 

Symptoms

• Feeling of tightness in your head
• The pain is on both sides of your head
• The pain does not change due to activity
• Starts at the back of the head and moves towards the eyes
• The headache can last from 30 minutes up to 7 days. 

Chiropractic is able to help with these types of headaches by helping to relieve the tightness in the neck muscles and by treating the subluxations* in the neck.
