Understanding Stress, Neck Pain & Headaches

The Cause Of Most Headaches

Headaches can range fromminor nagging pains, to full-blown migraines that knock you off your feet for a day or two. Any headache, whether tremendous pain or not, should be a warning sign you are under a lot of stress. Prolonged stress can result in muscle tension changes, making you feel stiff, achy and painful in the neck or shoulders. One may feel pain in the shoulders, neck, upper back and even radiating out to the upper arms. Most people who are under a great deal of stress complain about having neck and shoulder pain.

Myofascial Release Therapy Myofascial tissue injuries are deeper than typical muscle soreness, and can contribute to overall muscle soreness and tightness. Fascia are the tough membranes that wrap, connect and support your muscles. They can become tight or restricted, effecting your muscle movement and causing deep pain in a trigger point that’s difficult to localize. Our certified physical therapists treat myofascial pain withmanual pressure therapy and massage techniques aimed at the soft tissue, as well as with therapeutic exercises and stretches. Our treatment methods relax the contracted muscles, improve blood and lymphatic circulation to the area and stimulate stretch reflex in the fascia and muscles to relieve pain. If you are suffering from tension headaches, or else deep muscle tissue tension and pain, call us today for a free injury screening and get your treatment started right way. While massages help to relieve some symptoms, physical therapy goes far beyond to evaluate and treat the root cause of your pain. Muscular tightness may lead to poor joint movement and weakness. Our physical therapy experts are trained in specialized hands-on treatments to quickly reduce your pain. Furthermore, enjoy the added benefits of improved motion, posture correction and preventing the problem from reoccurring. We train you in gentle exercises and self-help techniques to prevent the physical changes from prolonged stress. Regularly shedding your daily tensions through movement, physical therapy and physical activity can help you remain calm and clear in everything that you do, helping you live a happy, pain-free life. The most intense pain usually lies directly in the back and upper sides of the neck. The pain then radiates into the shoulder area. This is why most people who are stressed treat themselves to frequent neck and shoulder massages. Real Relief
