(English) Self-test : Is your headache caused by muscle tension & body distortion?

Self-test : Is your headache caused by muscle tension & body distortion?

Hi, this is Ble from the J-CLINIC Phromphong branch in Bangkok.

Last time, I talked about a patient who was suffering from headaches due to stiff shoulders and tension in the muscles around the back and scapula. (Link to the former blog)

What about your headaches? If you say “yes” to even one of the following, your headaches may be due to muscle tension or body distortions.

Self-test checklist

☐ I regularly take painkillers but the pain doesn’t go away
☐ I get a headache when my neck is stiff
☐ I get headaches before it rains
☐ The back of my eyes feel dull and heavy
☐ I went to the hospital to be checked but was told nothing was wrong
☐ I have a headache more than once a week
☐ My temples throb
☐ The base of my neck gets rock hard
☐ I have a hard time falling asleep and wake up in the middle of the night.

Did any of them apply to you?

Headache-related symptoms include sleep disorders, autonomic nervous symptoms such as vertigo, tinnitus, lightheadedness, and brain diseases. It’s better to have it properly treated and to not ignore it as “just a headache.”

For headaches caused by muscular tension and distortions, J-CLINIC uses deep-tissue massage and high-voltage electric therapy to relieve the tension and bring the body back to balance. We also give exercise guidance and lifestyle advice so that your headaches do not recur.
