Headaches can be debilitating. At Active Life Chiropractic and Rehab, we believe that no one should have to live with head pain. Many headaches are caused by muscle tension, joint dysfunction in the neck, or jaw stiffness. There are seven vertebrae in your neck and they all need to be mobile to help prevent headaches. The muscles that surround your neck, back, and shoulders are equally important and if they get too tight, they can cause headaches as well. Environmental factors, stress, and physical factors such as a bad bed, or even a bad office chair can also contribute to headaches.
