Tension Headache Treatment for stress, tension, or TMJ headaches with our proven mix of natural therapies
When tension headaches strike, they can affect every aspect of your life. Even if it’s just a dull background ache – you have less patience, less concentration, and a less positive frame of mind. This can have knock-on effects on your work and personal life.
Most of our clients pass off their headaches as “just dehydration”. It is true dehydration causes headaches and you should make sure you are getting enough non-caffeinated fluids. However, tension headaches are by far the most common cause of a headache.
A good test is to drink water. If your headache goes away in an hour or two, you had a dehydration headache. If not, most of the time you have a tension headache.
