Tension Headaches
Tension headaches, the most common type of headache, stem from muscle contractions in the head and neck. Symptoms include dull, aching pain and pressure around the forehead, temples, or back of the head. Tension headaches are usually triggered by stress, poor posture, or fatigue, and are typically managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
