Has it ever occurred to you that while you are happily typing
away on your computer for hours on end you are actually creating
a problem in your neck that can lead to chronic migraineheadaches or tension headaches? If you suffer from migra
ine headaches or tensi
on headaches it may be something you should investigate.
When a person with migraineheadaches or tension headaches
visits a chiropractor for their pain what does the chiropractor
typically do for that patient? The usual treatment for most
headache patients is to manipulate, or adjust, the neck.
Chiropractors teach us that most headaches come from neck
problems, and that by adjusting or manipulating the neck tension
and migraineheadaches can be relieved or cured.

Over 80% of headache patients that receive chiropractic
treatment show improvement that ranges from slight improvement
up to complete elimination of their headache pain. If this is
the case then it seems logical that the majority of migraineheadaches or tension headaches originate from spinal (neck)
problems. It also seems logical that if we knew what was causing
these neck problems, and eliminated what was causing them, we
could also eliminate the headaches, both migraine and tension.
As a chiropractor for 25 years I have treated many patients with
migraineheadaches and tension headaches. After examining
thousands of patients I discovered that as many as 95% who were
experiencing headaches had one thing in common, a reversed
cervical (neck) curve. From the side view a normal neck should
have a slight curve in it. But in my experience as a
chiropractor I estimate that approximately 95% of my patients
with headaches had either a lessening of that curve, no curve at
all, or a curve that was completely reversed. When these "poor
neck curvatures" were treated with chiropractic adjustments most
showed great improvement.
Chiropractors know that headaches can be caused by "poor neck
posture," so the next question becomes "can sitting at a
computer cause poor neck posture?" If the answer is yes, then
it's obvious that sitting at a computer can and does cause
headaches.
People usually develop poor neck curvatures because of poor
posture habits. Anything a person does that places their head in
a position forward to their body will lessen or reverse their
normal neck curve. And poor neck curvatures DO cause headaches.
Chiropractors have been teaching this for decades.
The types of activities that can lead to poor neck posture
include sitting at a computer for extended periods of time,
reading with the head bent forward, sitting while slouching in a
chair or on a couch, sleeping with the head or neck in odd
positions, or any other activity that places the head in a
position forward to the body. So, to answer our original
question, yes, headaches can be caused by sitting at a computer.
Sitting at a computer can cause an abnormal neck curvature to
develop which can cause headaches.

Good posture can surely prevent the development of poor neck
posture, which would seem to be the best remedy, but what can be
done if the lessening or reversal of the neck curve has already
been developed? Obviously, chiropractic treatment is an option
that could be considered. But there are many other alternative
treatments for tension or migraineheadaches.
Most people just take a pain pill. But are pain pills the best
approach? They surely are in some cases, but there are many
other headache treatment options that don't require the use of
potentially harmful drugs. All drugs have side effects, some of
which can end up being worse than the headaches themselves.
Before treating your health problems with drugs it is wise to
seek the advice of a health professional.
There are many natural
remedies for migraineheadaches or tension headaches. These
include stress and tension reduction, ice therapy (used at the
base of the skull), eliminating food triggers, getting the
proper amount of rest, biofeedback, headache pillows or
cushions, exercise and many others. Some of these may help
relieve headaches, both migraine and tension, and could be
investigated further.
