Headaches are classified into two main groups: primary and secondary headaches. The Primary headache list includes: 1) Migraine; 2) Tension-type; 3) Cluster; 4) Other primary headaches, of which eight are listed1. Tension-Type Headaches, the most common type affecting between 30-78% of the general population, are usually described as a constant ache or pressure either around the head, in the temples, or the back of the head and/or neck. There is typically NO nausea/vomiting, and tension-type headaches rarely stop you from performing normal activities1. These headaches usually respond well to chiropractic adjustments and to over-the-counter pain relief medications, though we’d prefer you first reach for an anti-inflammatory herb like ginger, turmeric, bioflavonoid, and the like as these have less stomach, liver, and/or kidney related side-effects2. These headaches are typically caused by contraction of the neck and scalp muscles, which can be result of stress, trauma, lack of sleep1.
