What Causes Headaches? 

Migraines and headaches have a broad range of causes. From noise and lights to blood sugar and foods, almost anything can trigger head pain for someone. However, “headaches often serve as a warning that there’s another problem in the body. 

The vast majority of headaches are caused by muscle tension, often in the neck. In today’s work culture, people are more sedentary than they used to be. This leaves us in a fixed position or posture for hours on end. 

Unfortunately, this can result in irritation in joints as well as muscle tension in the scalp, upper back, and neck. These can then cause headaches.
