Most people don’t need more “tips.” They need a clear pattern—so the plan fits the driver. Here’s a practical way to sort the most common headache types.

Educational only. Not medical advice.

Quick pattern guide

Tension-type (most common)

  • Pressure/tightness, often “band-like”
  • Neck/shoulder tension is common
  • Usually not paired with nausea or strong light sensitivity

Migraine

  • Often one-sided or throbbing
  • Light/sound sensitivity, nausea can occur
  • Can be triggered by sleep disruption, stress changes, hormones, and more

Neck-related (cervicogenic) headaches

  • Often starts at base of skull and wraps forward
  • Worse with neck positions or limited neck rotation
  • Common with tech neck and sustained posture strain

If screen time plays a role, read next: Posture & Tech Neck.

If neck pain is part of the pattern: Neck Pain Relief.

What we do (simple and specific)

  • Identify the most likely driver(s)
  • Reduce sensitivity and restore motion where needed
  • Build tolerance so headaches don’t keep returning
