Tension Headaches

Tension Headaches Treatment NYCTension headaches are the most common type of headaches. The pain from a tension headache is different from a migrane. It is constant and can spread throughout your neck and upper back causing sore muscles or even dizziness.

The most common causes of tension headaches are:

  • anxiety
  • stress
  • depression
  • poor posture
  • improper breathing
  • food allergies

Though pain relievers such as aspirin, ibuprofen or acetaminophen can mask the pain from a tension headache, they don’t address headache cause and frequent use can create unwanted side effects.


Our Approach

Our doctors are skilled in detecting trigger points in the neck and head that cause tension headaches.


Treatment with trigger point therapy, Active Release Technique®, Fascial Manipulation, Transverse Cross Friction Massage, electrotherapeutics and spinal manipulation, or Cox decompression therapy may be part of the hands on work we use to treat your chronic tension headaches.

We will discuss a stretching program, how to ergonomically adjust your workstation, and home care to further rid you of your headaches.
