Head Pain

Headaches on the top of your head can be annoying, to say the least and it can happen due to causes, including stress, dehydration, poor posture, or any underlying medical conditions. Stress often triggers muscle tension in the head and neck region, which can be painful. As a result of dehydration, blood flow and oxygen are reduced to the brain, causing pain. Poor posture, especially during prolonged activities, strains neck and scalp muscles, resulting in headaches.

Sudden head pain can really be a shocking experience, particularly when it is associated with a throbbing feeling. Throbbing headaches are commonplace and can be considered mild to severe. These headaches can be managed successfully only if one can understand the causes and symptoms of the affliction, along with the options available for its treatment.

Pain in the left side of the head can be caused by migraines, tension headaches, neuralgia, or sinus infections. Symptoms include throbbing headache on left side, sharp temple pain, and nausea. Treatment includes rest, hydration, and physiotherapy like manual therapy or dry needling. Seek medical help if symptoms are sudden or severe.
