Are you “put out of commission” by your tension headaches? Are you ineffective while working, or worse, forced to stay home from work? Do they interfere with your family and social life? Most people have experienced more than one tension headache in their life. If you are someone who has had tension headaches, the intense, dull ache in your head is a familiar one. A feeling of tightness or pressure along the forehead or on the sides of the back of the head often accompanies such pain. Occasionally, you might feel a tenderness of your scalp, neck and shoulder muscles, and periodically you may lose your appetite or feel nauseous.

Though the severity of pain varies from one person to another, and can vary in intensity from one headache to another in the same person, most tension headaches are usually defined as mild to moderate intense. Do your headaches occur often? Did you know that if your headaches take place fifteen or more days a month for a minimum of three months, they’re viewed by healthcare professionals as chronic?
