If you’ve ever experienced a dull or aching pain or pressure on your forehead on both sides of the head, this could be a tension headache.
Tension headaches are common and can be caused from stress, anxiety, posture issues, straining the eyes, clenching the jaw, an auto or other injury and more.
But how can you manage the symptoms and even ward off tension headaches? Read on for more.
Not all headaches are the same
A tension headache can not only cause mild to moderate pain, and cause trouble focusing on work, life and everyday activities.
And getting to the root cause is essential in healing from the inside out, rather than simply masking pain with medication.
A holistic approach to treating tension headaches is key. Sometimes this can include targeted therapy for muscles to release tightness in the neck, head and shoulders while improving blood flow.
Other times, fixing posture issues is essential in pain relief from tension headaches and managing stress.
And for some people, chronic tension headaches are a cause for concern. In these cases, nerve blocks and other methods of therapy are needed to address the issue.
