Description

We will address ourselves to he most common headache, known by several terms such as tension headache, cervical tension cephalalgia, suboccipital cephalalgia, etc. We will exclude intracranial headaches or those which are secondary to generalized disease. Doctors of Chiropractic have long recognized the therapeutic value of manipulative
therapy in the management of cervical tension cephalalgia. From a clinical standpoint, the role of manipulation in headache has been somewhat controversial. An attempt is made to present a clinical approach to a neuromusculoskeletal
disorder which responds favorable to chiropractic manipulative procedures.
