Tension Headaches & Acupuncture

9/5/2016

0 Comments

 
Tight back neck muscles due to bad posture can irritate the occipital nerve, which runs through the upper trapezius and another neck extensor, the semispinalis capitis. The nerve may be compressed and irritated by spasms of those muscles high at the back of the neck near the base of the skull. 
​

Acupuncture & postural exercises help realign your body, balance your posture - once posture is improved and the head is held more in line with its base of support, the back neck muscles (neck extensors) and front neck muscles (neck flexors) are able to work together to keep the head steady, balanced and eyes level with the least amount of effort - and relieve your tension headaches.
