HEADACHE, MIGRAINE AND NECK PAIN

Headache is something we all can familiarize with. It is not always serious but it has an impact in our everyday functioning and well being.

Types and complaints

There are different types of headache such as tension headache and migraine. Both of the aforementioned conditions can be addressed by the psychologist provided that serious pathological conditions are excluded or in addition to medical consultation.

Headaches and/or migraine can be related to muscle tension and stressful situations. The cause can be bad posture, stress, anxiety and problems in our life but the interesting fact is that it can appear when we feel that we are not stressed at all. Once the “on” state of anxiety is left, headache and/or migraine might make their appearance.
