The Painful World of Headaches

Most headaches belong to the category known as tension headaches. These headaches stem from tightness and spasms in the muscles of the neck, particularly those near the base of the skull. One example is the RCPM muscle, which is attached to an extremely sensitive membrane called the dura mater. When tension sends this muscle into spasm, it starts pulling on the dura mater, and the diffuse pain of a classic tension headache is the result. Neck muscle tension may be related to emotional stress, but it is also a common byproduct of an unbalanced upper cervical alignment.

Migraines involve more than just headache pain. These debilitating experiences combine blinding headaches with other symptoms such as nausea, sound or light sensitivity, vomiting and vision problems (including the appearance of "auras" just before an attack), with the total onslaught lasting up to 72 hours. Migraines seem to originate with neurotransmitter imbalances that cause the trigeminal nerve to induce swelling in cranial blood vessels. The actual triggers can be quite diverse, ranging from foods and medicines to weather changes and overexertion.
