Request an AppointmentReduce Eye Strain
One major cause of tension headaches is eye strain. Many people work at computers all day, and screen time can strain the eyes. If this sounds like you, take frequent breaks from your screen throughout the day and look for ways to relax the muscles around your eyes. Eye strain often leads directly to tension headaches, so reducing it can lower how often they occur.
Relax Your Muscles
Tension headaches are caused by muscle tension. Finding ways to relax the muscles throughout your body goes a long way toward treating them. Relaxing the muscles directly contributing to your headache also reduces overall stress. Treatments like acupuncture can help relieve muscle tension and support the body’s natural stress response. Reducing stress in your everyday life can also help prevent tension headaches from starting in the first place.
