Headaches :Did you know one
cause can be tension or strain in the muscles and joints of the neck and upper
back?
Did you know the most
common cause of headaches is tension or strain in the muscles and joints of the
neck and upper back?
It is something that I see again and again.
People sitting on chairs that are too low or at desks that are too low. They
hunch over and work away bending more as the day progresses. They are so
industrious that they don't notice the pain build in their backs and necks.
Does this sound a
familiar pattern to you?
The tension headache
Treatment from an
osteopath may help. Tension headaches are often helped by treating tight
muscles of the neck and upper back. Sometimes we use manipulation to loosen the
joints of the neck and back to relieve the build-up of muscular tension that
may lead to headaches.
This is something we
can do for ourselves too! Looking back over my past day or week what has lead
me to have this headache now? When I ask myself this question I invariably
answer, I haven't been drinking enough water and I have been doing some
computer work without taking a break. These patterns are different for
everyone. If you get headaches back or neck pain an osteopath might be able to
help.
