Chiropractic Medicine Can Treat Tension Headaches

In this stressful world, everyone is bound to experience a tension headache at some point. However, some of us clearly seem to experience these painful incidences more than others. Here, we briefly explore the most common reasons for tension headaches and how our chiropractor from Lubbock Advanced Physical Medicine in Lubbock, TX, can treat them.

What Are Tension Headaches?

Tension headaches are defined as the feeling of pressure or pain in the head. For some, these happen regularly and can be a hindrance to productivity and enjoyment of everyday life.

Common Causes of Tension Headaches

Tension headaches may be more common for some than for others, but the list of potential causes is the same for everyone. If you experience regular tension headaches, watch for the following contributing factors:

  • Certain foods types (such as chocolate, cheese, MSG products, nuts, and dairy products)
  • Specific activities (for example, poor posture)
  • Certain stress factors (including physical and emotional stress)
  • Colds, flu, or sinus infection
  • Eyestrain
  • Overexertion
  • Dental issues
  • Alcohol use
  • Too much or withdrawal of caffeine
