TIMES ARE DIFFICULT, MANAGING YOUR STRESS DOESN’T HAVE TO BE What is a tension headache? One of the most commonly experienced side effects of stress is tension headaches. These can be so debilitating to the point a person’s quality of life is negatively affected. Tension headaches occur when the neck and scalp muscles contract or become tense. They often appear as a result of high- stress levels, poor posture, neck or jaw problems, fatigue, or arthritis. It’s also possible to experience them when feeling anxious or depressed. You can start experiencing them at any age, although they’re the most common type of headache in adults and older teens. Although many headaches will dissipate on their own and don’t need medical intervention, if you’re experiencing severe headaches right now as a result of increased stress levels, it’s time to see a professional. How can physical therapy relieve pain from stress and tension headaches? Fortunately, through physical therapy, long term relief from stress and tension headaches is possible. A trained physical therapist can help you achieve immediate pain relief from this condition as well as any other pain conditions or ailments that may be contributing to your discomfort right now.
Although the end goal of physical therapy at Marketplace Physical Therapy & Wellness Center is pain relief, your physical therapist will also assist you in improving your posture, strength, muscle ability, and the way you move your neck. These adjustments will prevent you from continuing to experience debilitating pain from headaches. Your therapist may use many techniques and modalities to treat your tension headaches, including the following: • Soft tissue mobilization • Heat or ice therapy
• Cervical traction • Body mobilization • Strengthening exercises/stretches • Spine therapy • Breathing techniques
