Where does it hurt?

Headaches are the most commonly diagnosed condition in the United States with 70% of these caused by muscle tension. Causes include suboccipital muscle spasms from injury (whiplash), postural strain (caused, for example, by a computer screen angled incorrectly), and a pillow too large that forces flexion of the neck during rest. Usually gradual onset, but tends to persist in cyclical patterns of tension and relaxation.
