Headaches, migraines, and neck pain are debilitating for those who experience them on a regular basis.
The first step in treating migraines and headaches is to understand which factors are causing the headaches. Chemical and hormonal balances can be a part of the problem, but identifying these imbalances often requires extensive testing, experimentation, and cost. Before you go down that road, there is usually a more simple cause for most headaches and migraines that can be addressed without any wasted time and expense.
One of the most common causes of neck pain is repetitive stress of the neck muscles, tendons, and ligaments within these structures. Individuals who spend most of their day sitting at work, or doing sedentary activities, have a high-risk factor for developing this condition. The risk for developing neck pain is highest for those who sit in poor posture, with the head in a flexed forward position.
Several other causes of neck pain are also posture related, such as herniated discs, whiplash injuries, and Osteoarthritis (developing from the wear and tear of cartilage and bones). Poor posture puts your cervical spine, disks, and muscles in the neck at risk of injury and damage.
Remedies for head pain typically provide only short-term relief. Fortunately, there is another proven method that focuses on the root cause, resulting in lasting relief for both acute and chronic head pain.
Ice, heat, and pain relief creams are topical remedies that might feel good when applied but usually wear off in a very short amount of time.
General stretching and massage only provide short-term relief since their focus is on the site of the pain and not the root cause.
Over-the-counter and prescription meds only mask the pain temporarily, which often results in symptoms getting worse over time.

Steroid shots and surgeries are isolated to the location of the pain are unsuccessful when the root cause is elsewhere in the body.
Migraine treatments that are limited to chemical imbalances, or muscle tightness in the head and neck alone often fail because posture imbalances from head to toe are ignored. In the current age of cell phones and computers, poor head and neck posture is only one part of the overall postural problem most humans now suffer from.
If the mid back, shoulders, hips, and lower part of the spine are out of a level, balanced, and stacked position, then the neck and head will also be out of position as your body attempts to keep your head upright and level. Upper cross syndrome and hunched shoulders put the head in a compromised position. Rotation in the shoulders or hips can create a counter-rotation in the neck. As soon as the head is tilted, twisted, or tipped out of its stacked, neutral position, the nerves and disks get pinched and muscles ligaments and joints get stressed. The alarm bells go off and your head may start to pound.
For treatment of headaches and migraines to be truly effective, it must correct posture and straighten the joints from head to toe. Posture Therapy is the only method that provides this whole-body posture correction and resulting pain relief.
