Chronic and Migraine Headaches

Headaches have many causes.  These can be things such as food, stress, noise, light, insomnia, blood sugar and more.  About 5% of headaches are signals caused by major physical problems. The remaining 95% are primary headaches, such as tension, migraine, or cluster headaches. These types of headaches are not caused by disease and the headache itself is the primary concern.

The majority of these headaches are associated with muscle tension in the neck.  With our increasingly sedentary lifestyle, joint irritation and muscle tension in the neck, upper back and scalp are becoming all the more common increasing the number of people suffering from chronic headaches.
