What are Tension Headaches?

Tension headaches are usually caused by stress or muscle tension in the neck and shoulders. These headaches can be recurring, with some people experiencing them daily. Chronic tension headaches can significantly interfere with your quality of life, making it difficult to concentrate at work or enjoy leisure activities.

Some symptoms of tension headaches include:

  • Pressure or pain in the temples, forehead, or back of the head
  • Muscle tenderness in the neck and shoulders
  • Headache that is worse in the morning or when you are under stress
  • Difficulty sleeping

What Causes Tension Headaches?

There are many different causes of tension headaches. Some of the most common include:

  • Stress: Stress can cause the muscles in your neck and shoulders to tense up, leading to headaches.
  • Poor posture: Poor posture puts unnecessary strain on the muscles and joints in your neck and back, which can lead to tension headaches.
  • Eye strain: Staring at a computer screen or reading for long periods can cause eye strain, which can lead to tension headaches.

What Are the Treatment Options for Tension Headaches From our Chiropractor in Bowie?
