20 Oct 😤Have you noticed that stress triggers your Headaches and Migraines 😣. 🤔Have you noticed that NOT all stresses triggers your Headaches and Migraines 🤕

Unfortunately life is often peppered with stressful events, including moving homes, getting married, having children, getting a divorced and even the daily traffic jams on the way to work can be stressful for some people 😳😳😳

However, did you know that while stress may be the trigger for your Headaches and Migraines, it is NOT the cause of your Headaches and Migraines! 😲 What stress does is causes you to have poor restless 😴 sleep, or to hold yourself in a tense posture resulting in increased muscle tightness and pain in your neck and shoulder muscles. 😣Over time, this muscle tension builds up leading to imbalances in the muscles around the base of your head, neck and shoulder that eventually causes stiffness and movement dysfunction in your neck joints. 😳 It is the joint stiffness and dysfunction of the first 3 neck joints that actually causes your Headaches and Migraines!! 🤕

Stressful events then add to more build up of muscle tension and sleepless nights leading to more neck joint stiffness and Headaches and Migraines. 🤕🤕 In the end, you conclude that Stress causes your Headaches and Migraines!

To overcome your Headaches and Migraines, 🤕the underlying chronic neck joint stiffness must be addressed so that even in stressful moments Headaches and Migraines do not come on. By maintaining optimal positioning and movements in your neck joints, stressful events will not be able to trigger Headaches or Migraines for you! 😊
