Headaches are a common complaint that we see on a daily basis in our practice. Headaches can arise from a wide variety of stressors which include:

1. Physical stress (e.g. physical trauma, bad posture)
2. Chemical stress (e.g. Pharmaceuticals, foods, cleaning products, air pollution)
3. Emotional stress (e.g. finances, work, relationships, bereavement)

These stressors over time keep your brain and body in a fight or flight state where it is always dealing with a problem. When your brain and nervous system are in this state they cannot put energy into resting, digesting and healing. Headaches are a common symptom when your brain and body are constantly in a fight or flight state.
