What are headaches?

A tension headache is a mild to moderate pain, tightness or pressure around your forehead or the back of your head and neck. Some people say it feels like a clamp or tight band around the head.

They are very common — almost everyone will have a tension headache at some point.

The pain caused by a tension headache is often dull and persistent. It frequently starts at the back of the head or temples, then spreads, becoming like a band around the head. It may feel like pressure or tightness.

A tension headache can be chronic, occurring every day for more than half the month, or episodic, where it occurs for fewer than 15 days a month.

What triggers headaches?

Tension headaches, despite the name, are not always caused by stress and mental tension. There can be other triggers, including excessive muscle contraction such as frowning and jaw clenching.

Other triggers for tension headaches include:

stress, tiredness and anxiety
depression or being upset
poor posture at work, home or when driving
bright, noisy environments
long periods of reading
too much smoking or coffee
overuse of pain-relief medicines, including headache tablets

How to treat headaches?

You can ease tension headaches by:

taking pain-relief medicines, such as paracetamol — but these are only for short-term use
applying heat, with a hot bath or a heat pack
remedial massage and dry needling for the head, jaw, scalp, neck and shoulders
