The pain itself can be dull or sharp and can last from a few minutes to several days. Although headaches can be caused by many things, such as high drug reactions, dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), pressure on the neck muscles, low blood sugar, blood pressure, stress and fatigue, most recurrent headaches are of two types: tension headaches (also called cervical headaches of origin) and migraines.

Numerous research studies have shown that chiropractic adjustments are very effective for treating tension headaches, especially headaches that originate in the neck. Each person is different and requires a evaluation before every chiropractic care. However, in most cases of tension headaches, significant improvement is achieved through manipulation of the two upper cervical vertebrae, with adjustments to the junction between the cervical and thoracic spine .
