Tension headache – occur from contraction of the muscles of neck, back, and head thereby causing decrease in oxygen to the brain.  Mild to moderate pain may also occur from the back of the neck up to the scalp.  Prolonged sitting, especially hunched over at a desk, cringing the phone between the ear and shoulder, and driving in traffic or bad weather are typical causes of tension headaches.  Physical or mental stress from job, home, or relationships may cause the headaches to become chronic.  

Any of these or a combination may be the cause of your Tension headache.  Treatment will include individualized care, depending on the nature of your symptoms. Techniques that may help relieve your condition are spinal manipulation, myofascial release, electrical stimulation, mechanical traction or roller table, cryotherapy, exercise and stretch prescriptions.
