Do you feel pressure in your head, especially when you’re stressed? Do your neck and shoulders hurt, too? Tension headaches can cause these symptoms—but our chiropractor can relieve them. If you need neck pain treatment near you, Elite Chiropractic and Wellness Center offers these services in Beverly Hills, CA. We can adjust your spine to alleviate tension headaches. We would like to discuss what this type of headache is and how our care can help.
What Symptoms Do They Cause?
You might experience any of the following with this kind of headache:
- A dull pain in your head
- A tight feeling in your forehead and the sides and/or back of your head
- Aches in your neck and shoulders
These headaches can occur regularly or occasionally. Chronic headaches happen for 15 days or more over a few months. Episodic headaches occur less frequently.
Why Do I Get Tension Headaches?
You might be more sensitive to pain, increasing your risk of experiencing these headaches. Certain triggers can cause tension-type headaches. For example, high levels of stress are the biggest trigger for this kind of pain. You might also have a higher risk if you’re over 40, but note that anyone can experience these headaches. In fact, they are the most common type.
When Should I Get Help for Tension-Type Headaches?
Are they interfering with your daily life? Have you tried home care measures that haven’t worked? If so, it’s time to seek help! Spinal adjustments and other care can ease this type of pain—and reduce the likelihood of it recurring.
Does Chiropractic Care Help?
Did you know that problems in your upper spine may contribute to these headaches? That’s what our services aim to correct. Adjustments involve realigning your spine, which alleviates pressure on nerves in this area of your body. Our approach to managing this pain helps reduce headaches and relieves soreness in other areas, like your neck. We might also recommend these additional services:
- Massage therapy to help ease stress
- Nutritional advice for improved overall wellness
- Lifestyle changes to help manage stress
