  • Tension Headaches: Often referred to as “stress headaches,” tension headaches are the most prevalent type. Muscle tension, poor posture, stress, or eye strain typically cause tension headaches. They manifest as a dull, aching pain that feels like a tight band around the forehead. The pain may even extend to the neck and shoulders. Tension headaches can lead to reduced concentration, irritability, and fatigue, impacting daily functioning and productivity.
  • Migraines: Migraines are intense, throbbing headaches that may last for hours or even days. Common triggers include hormonal fluctuations, stress, certain foods, and environmental factors. Migraine sufferers often experience nausea, vomiting, and heightened sensitivity to light and sound. These debilitating symptoms can significantly impair your ability to perform daily tasks and engage in social activities.
  • Cluster Headaches: Known for their excruciating pain, cluster headaches occur in cyclical patterns or clusters, typically affecting one side of the head. These headaches are characterized by sudden, severe pain behind the eye or in the temple region. Symptoms may also include eye redness, tearing, and nasal congestion on the affected side. Cluster headaches can severely disrupt daily routines and sleep patterns, leading to exhaustion and decreased quality of life.
  • Cervicogenic Headaches: This type of headache arises from the neck and upper spine. Cervicogenic headaches are often triggered by poor posture, muscle tension, or injury. The pain is typically felt on one side of the head, often radiating from the base of the skull to the forehead.

The most common causes of headaches our physical therapists and chiropractors treat include the following:
