Have you ever been working at the computer for long hours
and started to feel tightness in the neck that eventually
led to a headache? Are your headaches worse with working on
the computer or with your head down? If so, your headaches
could be a tension or migraine headache, and have a cervicogenic
aspect to them.
A tension headache may cause you to experience a dull, achy
pain or sensation of tightness in your forehead. It may wrap
from around the back to the front of your head. Many people
liken the feeling to having a tight band of pressure encircling
their heads, like a head band. The severity of the pain varies
from a constant dull ache to a severe pain. Many headaches
occur during times of heightened stress and anxiety.

Migraines are a severe type of headache that commonly involve
a pounding or throbbing pain. It can occur on only one side
of the head, and is usually consistently on that side. Some
people are sensitive to light and may experience nausea or
vomiting. A migraine forces many people to seek a dark room
and sleep.

Treatment that reduces the muscles spasms and joint stress
will decrease the frequency, intensity, and duration of headaches. |
Physical therapy decreases the muscle spasms and strengthens
the muscles. Stretching improves the flexibility and range
of motion of neck muscles. Chiropractic helps by decreasing
the pressure on the nerves in the neck that trigger headaches.
We accomplish this by adjusting "stiff" joints that have been
"jammed together" to improve joint motion and decrease joint
pain. We combine this treatment with massage therapy and Graston
Technique to further relax muscles and remove chronic muscle
spasms. Physical Therapy, Massage Therapy, and Chiropractic Treatments for Migraine and Tension HeadachesTreatment for headaches is a combination of physical therapy, massage therapy, and chiropractic treatments. We combine the best of all disciplines to treat your headaches. Read More About Headaches Treatments
Headaches and PostureHeadaches can be caused or aggravated by physical stress to the neck. Muscles spasm place stress on the neck joints by jamming them together, which signals pain to the body. This cycle of muscle spasms and joint stress produces a cascade of events that lead to some headaches. Over time, the spasms can become chronic and cause multiple headaches in a month or week.
