Help with headaches: causes and self-treatment
Anyone who suffers from a headache is physically struck and barely able to think clearly. Regularly recurring headaches may be accompanying symptoms of a disease and require medical attention. If the cause is unknown, self-help will do more harm than good, as will the grip on the tablet.

Most headaches are related to:
- too much workload
- lack of sleep
- Tension headache
- drugs
- food
- cold
- meteorosensitivity

Headache in osteoarthritis:
Wear disorders of the neck and thoracic spine promote tension-type headaches. The arthritic vertebrae and small facet joints, which are connected to the vertebrae, collide against each other. In hard work, jerky or unphysiological movement, the eddies can interfere with each other and block each other. Due to the blocking, the smooth process is disturbed. The consequences are restricted mobility, hardened muscles in the blocked area and tension headaches.
In the case of wear disorders, it is important to strengthen the muscles and learn the right everyday behavior. A permanently tense musculature can take a chronic course with inflammatory processes, resulting in chronic tension-type headache.
