Why are headaches so common?
Almost all of us have had headaches at varying points in our lives, and a headache is one of the most common ailments a person can experience. The reason headaches are so prevalent is because of the complexity of a person’s head and the various causes of headaches, which can be physically related or a result of excess stress or difficult emotions.
What are the primary causes of headaches?
Headaches can be caused by a large number of issues, which is why they are so prevalent. Listing all causes of headaches would be difficult, but they can be broken into groups to help understand the broad scope of issues that can trigger a headache.
- Muscular issues – Whether it’s a result of poor posture, tension, or even issues with muscles in the neck or jaw, tight muscles can cause headaches.
- Injuries or Disorders – Issues with bodily systems such as hormones, the nervous or respiratory systems or arthritis can be the issue, as can head injuries.
- External Factors – loud noise, bright lights, dehydration, excessive heat or cold, diet, and/or stress can also contribute to headaches.
This is certainly not a comprehensive list, but it can give you an idea of the wide array of issues that can cause a headache.

Because of the varying causes of headaches, it’s important to try to look at the entire body when treating them. At FIX Medical Group, we focus on holistic and natural methods of healing, which often have faster, more long-lasting, and healthier results than more invasive or non-natural methods used by some physicians such as surgical intervention or the prescription of medications to treat headaches.

We offer professional treatment in chiropractic care, physical and massage therapy, and wellness care services, any of which can be used to treat headaches in different circumstances.
