What Are The Symptoms of a Tension Headache?

Tension-type headache pain is often described as a constant pressure, as if the head were being squeezed in a vice.

The pain frequently presents on both sides of the head at once. In contrast to migraine, the pain does not increase during exercise.

What Causes a Tension Headache?

Tension headaches are derived from muscle spasms in the neck and joint irritations which often come about from sustained work postures.

Even an ache or problem in our lower back can lead us to sit differently so that we compensate through the neck and get a tension headache as a result.

What Can Osteopathy Do For Tension Headaches?

We use a ‘hands-on’ approach in our treatment of your problem. We will reduce the muscle spasms and gently mobilise the joints of the neck and upper back.

The upper back is often a stiff area which then causes the neck to over work. Our treatment will include advice on posture and prevention of further episodes.
