| The most common cause of tension headaches is subluxation of the upper neck and back, usually in combination with trigger points in those areas. When the upper neck vertebrae lose motion or are out of alignment, a small muscle called the rectus capitus posterior minor goes into spasm. The problem is that this muscle has a small tendon that attaches onto the thin, pain sensitive dura matter of the brain. With correct spinal adjustments, this pressure can be released and the headache can disappear. My brother had these exact headaches for years, and after a few adjustments, he was completely PAIN FREE! Let me know if you have any other stories to share or if you have headache questions yourself. www.GallatinValleyChiropractic.com http://maps.google.com/maps/place?cid=1168856000526488841&q=gallatin+valley+chiropractic&hl=en&cd=1&cad=src:pplink&ei=HGR9S6iALIjusAO5g4mrCg |
