Are you suffering from tension headaches and are looking for effective treatment in the Fullerton area? Pain management specialists at Full Range Spine & Ortho offer Fullerton patients non-invasive treatments for chronic headaches. Tension headaches are often characterized by a dull, aching pain and tight feeling around the head (as if a band were constraining it.) Neck and shoulder muscles can also be tense and painful with a tension headache. The exact science behind headaches is still uncertain, but many people experience frequent, even chronic, tension headaches. Dr. Roy Nini and his team at Full Range Spine & Ortho offer non-invasive treatment for tension headaches.
Tension headaches can be triggered by stress, injury and environmental factors. Exact causes are unknown, but there are several actions Dr. Nini may recommend to help prevent tension headaches. These can include getting enough but not too much sleep, exercise, reducing stress, dietary changes, reducing alcohol intake, drinking plenty of water and other lifestyle modifications.
Since some tension headaches can be brought on by muscle spasms or nerve conditions, some people have found relief through massage or acupuncture. Many may prefer more natural means to combat tension headaches than a constant regimen of synthetic medications. Share your concerns and preferences with Dr. Nini during your consultation at one of our offices.
