    Headache and Migraines

    There are numerous causes of headaches, or "triggers." Foods, environmental stimuli (noises, lights, stress, etc.), and behaviours (insomnia, excessive exercise, blood sugar changes, etc.). Approximately 5% of all headaches are warning signs of physical problems. The other 95% of headaches are primary headaches like tension, migraine, or cluster headaches. These headaches are not caused by disease; the primary concern is the headache itself.

    The majority of primary headaches are caused by muscle tension in the neck.
