Tension headaches usually have a symmetrical pain range, extending from the back of the head to the forehead. The headache lasts for several hours. During the attack, the headache occurs every day. Usually, patients do not realize that the headache is related to mental tension, but after careful questioning, it is not difficult to find the direct relationship between the patient's tension and the headache. An Australian medical authority, Dr.

J. Murtagh pointed out in his 1994 book that in addition to psychological factors, dysfunction of the cervical spine is also a major cause of tension headaches.

Mixed headache (Combination Headache), when it occurs, the symptoms are similar to tension headache, cervical spondylosis headache, migraine, medication dependence headache and other diseases. Patients often describe the severity of the headache as if their head is about to explode, and they feel the pain all day long. Fortunately, it usually only lasts for 3-7 days, but sometimes it can last for several months. Headaches often occur during busy work hours, and sometimes occur after a traffic accident or trauma to the neck or head.

Cervicogenic headache is caused by cervical spine dislocation, cervical degeneration, and cervical spondylosis. Some scholars call this type of headache occipital neuralgia. The main cause of headaches is problems with the first, second, and third cervical nerve roots. The pain is often on one side only, extending from the neck to the back of the head, the side of the head and behind the eyeball. Many medical personnel mistakenly diagnose cervical spondylosis headaches as migraines.
