Headaches

Headaches are common conditions that can significantly impact daily life, causing pain, discomfort, and interference with daily activities. They can vary in intensity and duration, ranging from mild tension headaches to debilitating. Headaches can be characterized by throbbing pain, band-like pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound.

Headaches are a common occurrence due to a variety of factors that can affect the delicate balance of the brain, nerves, blood vessels, and muscles in the head and neck. From stress and tension to hormonal fluctuations and environmental triggers, there are numerous potential culprits of symptoms. Tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches (stemming from the neck) are the most common types we see today.

Causes of Headaches

• Stress and tension
• Poor posture/spinal alignment
• Musculoskeletal issues
• Cervical Instability/hypermobility
• Dietary triggers
• Sleep disturbances
• Medication overuse (rebound headaches)

Most Common Cause of Headaches

Often a common cause of head pain that we see in patients is mechanical in nature. This mean the joints either stop moving properly or there are changes in the proper alignment of the spinal bones. This causes pain and stiffness, decreased range of motion, muscle spasms or tightness, and inflammation. This can irritate nearby spinal nerves..
