Pain/Tension is worst in the afternoon or early evening.
The discomfort is felt on both sides of your head, at the base of your skull..
Over-the-counter medication can cause some relief.
Soft Tissue Manipulation is the most effective form of treatment.
Pain lasts anywhere from 20 minutes to 7 days.
Pain can become chronic, with throbbing sensations and nausea or vomiting.
Physical activity doesn't increase the pain.
Note that this type of headache is most common in women.
We treat this type of headache through a combination of postural changes, stretches, soft tissue manipulation, chiropractic manipulative therapy, and ergonomic changes in work, home, and car environments.
