Some people say it feels like a clamp squeezing the skull. Often called stress headaches, they\u2019re the most common type for adults.<\/p>\n<p>Recent studies have shown that the majority of headaches are caused by the neck due to abnormal spinal alignment and abnormal postures. The most common is from the loss of the normal lordosis\/cervical curve and forward head posture.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3100\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sunsetchiropractor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/what-are-tension-headaches-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3100\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3100\" src=\"https:\/\/sunsetchiropractor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/what-are-tension-headaches-3.jpg\" alt=\"What are Tension Headaches - Tension Headaches\" width=\"300\" height=\"271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sunsetchiropractor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/what-are-tension-headaches-3.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sunsetchiropractor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/what-are-tension-headaches-3-150x136.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3100\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">What are Tension Headaches &#8211; Tension Headaches<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This curve is designed to give your neck strength, as well as keep mechanical tension off your spinal cord. When there is an abnormal spinal alignment the muscles and ligaments work overtime to make up the spinal weakness resulting in muscle spasms that cause headaches. Tight neck, traps, and shoulder muscles pull on the base of your skull (occipital ridge) and the side of the vertebrae at the top of your neck.<\/p>\n<p>This causes a tremendous amount of tension and stretching on the surrounding tissue muscles, ligaments, arteries, and nerves in an additional tension through your jaw and head. The muscle group in the back of the neck, the front of the neck, and the upper chest can create a pattern that causes pressure and pain.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout our lives, we have physical stress on our body, some acute such as falls, traumas, accidents and some chronic such as sitting for long periods, working at a desk for long periods, using computers or phones or standing for long periods.<\/p>\n<p>These physical stresses cause us to lose the normal alignment and put the spine in a weakened position. This is represented in our outward appearance called posture. Abnormal posture equals Abnormal spinal alignment and weakened spinal system. Common abnormal postures such as forward head posture, low shoulder, uneven hips, and pelvis rotation are postural signs of a weakened damaged spine.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3102\" style=\"width: 290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sunsetchiropractor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/what-are-tension-headaches-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3102\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3102\" src=\"https:\/\/sunsetchiropractor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/what-are-tension-headaches-4.jpg\" alt=\"What are Tension Headaches - Tension Headaches\" width=\"280\" height=\"193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sunsetchiropractor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/what-are-tension-headaches-4.jpg 280w, https:\/\/sunsetchiropractor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/what-are-tension-headaches-4-150x103.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3102\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">What are Tension Headaches &#8211; Tension Headaches<\/p><\/div>\n<p>At first, this causes no pain but as it continues to abnormally load the spinal structures, it begins to break down the spinal structures leading to spinal damage and eventually the pain and functional loss to develop.<\/p>\n<p>At Sunset Chiropractic &amp; Wellness our team goes beyond conventional medicine by offering services and techniques which can relieve symptoms while at the same time addressing and resolving the underlying causes of your particular dysfunction.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Alfonso\u2019s Corrective Chiropractic Care System has 3 major treatments components working synergistically together to achieve phenomenal results without drugs or surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Corrective Chiropractic Care rehabilitates the weakened and damaged spinal system and its parts (muscles, ligaments, fascia, discs, bone, and nerves) decreasing pain, improving function, improving structure, and quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>Please view our website to learn more about\u00a0 our unique diagnosis procedures and\u00a0 structural correction chiropractic servicing the South Miami area.<\/p>\n<p>If you have been experiencing spinal symptoms such as neck pain, back pain, headaches, migraines, mid back pain, rib pain, carpal tunnel, sciatica, disc herniations or protrusions, neuropathy, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, pain\/numbness\/weakness in your arms, hands, legs or feet\u2026\u2026..<br \/>\nCall our office Today <strong>(305) 275-7474 <\/strong>for a <strong>FREE Phone, Whatsapp, or Zoom consultation<\/strong> so we can determine the cause of your symptoms, identify the damage, and design an individualized treatment plan to get back to enjoying the thing you love doing!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sunsetchiropractor.com\/en\/appointment\/\">https:\/\/sunsetchiropractor.com\/appointment\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We look forward to meeting you and helping you recover your health.
