Tight muscles in the neck and upper back are the most common cause of headaches in both kids and adults.
Your will probably feel neck tension, pain behind the eyes or temples, jaw pain and pain in your scalp.
Causative factors for tight muscles include eye strain from video or computer use, poor posture from computer use, video games and texting both resulting in neck strain, poor diet, dehydration, sleep posture, recent whiplash injury (whether in sports or in a car accident), or stress.
Tight muscles in your neck can also cause pressure on delicate upper cervical nerves causing migraines and occipital type headaches. These headaches can be severe and long lasting.
Skilled soft tissue therapy combined with gentle chiropractic manipulation is key to relieving your pain, and provides an actual solution for your headaches and is safer than taking ibuprophen or acetamataphine.

Impingement syndrome and bicep tendonitis are very common in lifting sports including CrossFit and Orange Theory Fitness.
Most of us have a tight upper back, a forward head posture, maybe slightly rounded shoulders and work at our computer way too much.
We finish work and head to the gym, throwing weights overhead and not paying quite enough attention to prepping for movement.
Then, our shoulder starts to pinch and hurt, usually on the top, front of back of the shoulder. We have to remember that the shoulder has this amazing dynamic movement, and is purely a musculoskeletal joint, meaning it is just held together with soft tissues.
Our shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint and if the ball is not sitting perfectly in the socket, and staying in the socket as we lift overhead, we get in trouble.
If our upper back does not move, or our shoulder blades do not move, we get in trouble. If your neck is stiff, your shoulder will get into trouble.
You need a skilled team to assess your shoulder and put all the components back together.
