Back Pain Headaches … Why?
Posted by: Back Pain Relief in: Back Pain Relief, Home Page
Back pain headaches are a very common occurrence, why? To understand why they are increasing in frequency you need to know the mechanisms behind how they develop.
You also need to be aware, it is not just your upper back or neck that can create these headaches, but your entire spine is involved. This is also the main reason why back pain headaches repeat often. Too many people target just the symptom areas, and not the underlying cause.
Muscle Tension and Headaches
Muscles when they tighten will refer pain; the most common process that does this is trigger points, although general muscle tension will do the same. The muscles in your upper back and base of the neck refer directly to your head.
So if these muscles tighten, you will get a back pain headache.
The muscles at the base of the skull will also refer to the head, and as they attach into the base of the skull, general tension there will also create a tension type headache.
Why the Whole Spine?
To understand why your entire spine can be at fault is simple enough. When you walk your left leg moves at the same time as your right arm. The spine works the same … the lowest joint in your spine moves in coordination with the top joint in your spine.
So if the lower back tightens, your neck muscles can also tighten. And it doesn’t stop there…
Your pelvis is like the foundation to a house. If balanced all is well, if unbalanced your pelvis will allow tension to develop anywhere in your spine, but will commonly cause upper back tension. The muscles in your upper back then tighten and create back pain headaches.
What is the Solution to Back Pain Headaches?
The solution is simple, you need to follow a simple 3-Step-System, you must first identify all the causes of your headaches and back pain, then remove symptoms as nobody wants to remain in pain for longer than they should an finally you need to correct the underlying causes.
Follow this 3-Step-System and you will remove your back pain headaches quickly, and most importantly stop them returning.
One of the best Back Pain Headache systems uses this 3-Step approach which I highly recommend. If you suffer with headaches it is worth looking at this to help stop them occurring.
