Are Tension Headaches normal?

 

TENSION HEADACHES Tension headaches are headaches that usually show up at the end of the day, and you feel the pain in her neck and bilateral to your temples and forehead.  They are the most common headache I treat in my office with great results.  They can be uncomfortable but not usually severe.  Many times they are caused by subluxations in your neck (which I treat) and tight muscles.   If this sounds like you, please, please, please schedule an appointment.  You don't need to feel this way.  Although it is common, it is NOT normal.

Massage Hook You can use your very own massage hook to massage the tension out of your upper back, shoulders and neck to help release the tension that causes some headaches.   Moist Heat Pack Moist heat can be VERY soothing for tension headaches.  We ALWAYS want to use moist heat because it helps to keep moisture in your muscles.  Dry muscles cause more pain.
