Headaches

Why do I get headaches?

 

Possible triggers include neck sprains/strains, muscular tension, emotional stress, and awkward postures (e.g., sitting, sleeping).

Will my pain go away?

 

Headaches often resolve within a few minutes, days, or weeks. Treatment can speed up recovery while reducing pain and improving function.

What can I do?

 

To help speed up recovery, it is important for you to participate in your care with your healthcare provider. In addition, continue day-to-day activities even if you experience some pain (within reason).
