Headaches

Headaches, we’ve all suffered from them at one point, right? 1 in 20 adults can suffer from a headache daily according to the World Health Organisation. Most headaches arise from the neck. Headaches can become very exasperating as there may be no set pattern of when they occur, frequency and severity. A severe headache can be quite debilitating and can force you into bed and now allow you to do anything. Headaches can affect vision also. You may become quite sensitive to strong lighting.

There are many causes for headaches such as stress, neck tension/ pain, dehydration, poor posture and muscular spasms. Jaw pain/ tension can also be linked to headaches.

Symptoms of headaches can include tiredness, nausea, pressure over the eyes, face and head.
