Head Pain
What are some things that may cause head pain?
Head pain can stem from a variety of sources, ranging from muscular tension to postural imbalances. Common causes include tension headaches, often triggered by stress or poor posture; cervicogenic headaches, which originate from the neck and are linked to muscle tightness or joint dysfunction; and migraine headaches, which can be exacerbated by factors like neck stiffness and trigger points. Additionally, jaw clenching, TMJ dysfunction, and even poor ergonomics while sitting or sleeping can all contribute to head pain. Identifying the root cause is key to finding an effective treatment.
