Headaches can have many different causes, ranging from dehydration, stress, and muscle tension to underlying medical conditions.

What Type of Headache Do I Have?
What is the difference between tension headaches and migraine headaches? Since both types of headaches can be extremely painful it is easy to get them confused. So here are some distinguishing factors between the two types of headaches.
Location of Pain:
Tension headaches often cause pressure or discomfort on both sides of the head, including around the forehead or back of the head. Migraines are more likely to cause one-sided pain and may be felt around the temple or behind an eye. However, headache symptoms can vary from person to person, so location alone cannot determine the type of headache.
Visual Disturbances:
Migraines may be accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, and, for some people, visual disturbances known as aura. Certain foods, smells, stress, sleep changes, and other factors may also trigger migraines. Tension headaches more commonly involve pressure or tightness around the head and may be associated with muscle tension in the neck and shoulders.
Because headache symptoms can have many possible causes, Dr. Canada begins with a detailed health history and physical evaluation to better understand your symptoms and determine whether chiropractic care may be appropriate for you.
For some patients, chiropractic care may be a helpful part of managing headaches associated with neck tension, restricted joint movement, or other musculoskeletal factors. Treatment may include gentle chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue techniques, and recommendations for movement, posture, or exercises based on your individual needs.
