There are often several underlying factors contributing to headaches and migraines in an individual. These can range from unchangeable factors such as your genetics and age, to difficult to change factors such as your job and family dynamics to more readily changeable factors such as your emotional, mental and physical habits. These changeable factors are associated with increased pressure being placed on brain, head and/or neck tissues. Excessive pressure generated by one or more of the many muscles that attach to your head is a very common and frequently overlooked source of headaches. Compression of nerves in the upper neck can lead to pain radiating into the head. Irritation of cranial nerves closely associated with the jaw joint (TMJ) can lead to face and head pain, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), dizziness (vertigo) and a wide range of other symptoms.
