What Are Tension Headaches?

While you may suffer from a headache every once in a while, consistent headaches can be signs of a bigger problem. Tension headaches cause extreme head pain and can even come with vision impairment, nausea, and dizziness. You may feel pressure in your face and head. If headaches are interfering with your everyday life, seek treatment as soon as possible. Ignoring your headaches can cause them to worsen.

Causes of Tension Headaches

Headaches can be caused by a number of factors. In most cases, tension headaches are caused by a constriction of the blood vessels in the brain. This happens when the muscles in your neck and shoulders tense up. Muscle tension can come from stress injuries, improper exercise, and more.

Taking over-the-counter pain relievers can also worsen tension headaches. Your body can begin to depend on pain medications in order to keep blood vessel constriction low. Without the medication in your system, blood vessels tend to constrict more frequently, causing more headaches.

Chiropractic Treatment for Tension Headaches

When you first visit us, our chiropractor will look for the root cause of your headaches, including any underlying conditions. After a diagnosis, we will create an individualized treatment plan for you.

One method our chiropractor uses is spinal adjustments, which bring alignment to the spinal column. When the spine is properly aligned, there is less inflammation. Blood and oxygen flow more freely, cutting down on the instance of constricted blood vessels in the brain. This health increase in blood and oxygen can prevent headaches from developing.

Other forms of chiropractic treatment are also useful in reducing the frequency of headaches. Since stress can be a contributing factor in muscle tension and headaches, we can use muscle therapy to alleviate stress. Massage also release tension in the muscles of the neck and shoulders.
