Tension headache – occur from contraction of the muscles of neck, back, and head thereby causing decrease in oxygen to the brain.  Mild to moderate pain may also occur from the back of the neck up to the scalp.  Prolonged sitting, especially hunched over at a desk, cringing the phone between the ear and shoulder, and driving in traffic or bad weather are typical causes of tension headaches.  Physical or mental stress from job, home, or relationships may cause the headaches to become chronic.
