2. Drink more water – A common cause of many headaches is dehydration. If you feel thirsty, then your body is already dehydrated. Avoid caffeinated beverages, as these are diuretics, causing you to lose water. Keep a glass of water next to your desk or in reach, and work to refill it 4-6 times during the day. 3. Exercise and therapy – Exercise helps to regulate your pH, reduce neck strain and improve your mood. If you find yourself suffering with headaches more than 2 times a week, then you should seek the expertise of our medical experts. These symptoms can be the result of an underlying problem with your neck and need to be treated.

Doing the exercise below can assist in stretching out the tight neck muscles and relieve your headache.
Chin Tucks With Towel Roll Roll a towel up vertically (pictured below). Lay down on a flat surface with your head and neck supported on a towel roll. Press the back of your head down into the towel roll while keeping your chin tucked down. You will feel a mild stretch in your neck, allowing the muscles in your neck to open up the restricted blood flow to your head and scalp. Hold the chin tucked for 5 seconds and relax your back to the starting position for 5 seconds. Do this exercise for 4 minutes, 2 to 3 times a day.
