Understanding Headaches: You’re Not Alone

Headaches are a common ailment, affecting millions of people worldwide. While occasional headaches are normal, chronic or recurrent headaches can significantly impact your quality of life. Some of the most common types of headaches include:

✅ Tension Headaches: Often described as a tight band around the head, tension headaches are the most prevalent type. They can be triggered by stress, muscle tension, poor posture, or even jaw clenching.

✅ Migraines: Characterized by intense, throbbing pain, often accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and visual disturbances, migraines can be debilitating and last for hours or even days.

✅ Cervicogenic Headaches: Originating from the neck or cervical spine, cervicogenic headaches can mimic migraines but are often associated with neck pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion.

If you experience frequent headaches that interfere with your daily activities, it’s time to seek professional help. At Sterling Physical Therapy & Wellness, we understand the frustration and pain that comes with chronic headaches, and we’re here to provide you with the expert care you need to reclaim your life.
